How to address an academic with a PhD in Spanish?
A friend of mine is defending his PhD thesis in the Netherlands this week.
It is a custom to formally address them directly after the defense ceremony, where we use the Dutch term "welzeeredelgeleerde heer" , which is something like 'very honourable well-learned gentleman' in Dutch and it very precisely corresponds to the title of PhD.
However, this friend was born and raised in Mexico, and I would like to also address him in Spanish. I have asked several native Spanish speakers (both inside and outside of academia), but nobody seems to know the correct translation of this terminology.
Does anyone happen to know this trivia?
- 2 I don't think what you actually want is a translation of that terminology, but rather to know the customs of addressing PhDs in Mexico. It's possible there is no equivalent to that long title in Spanish; there certainly isn't in modern English. If you addressed me as a "very honorable well-learned gentleman" I would assume you were being sarcastic. – Bryan Krause ♦ Commented May 30, 2017 at 22:27
- I know nothing of Mexican customs, but for this American PhD I found the Dutch defense ceremonies (which were great fun to be on the committee for) certainly more 'ceremonial' than American. At best I think I got a 'Whats up Doc?' at the end from my friends, and then we went to dinner... – Jon Custer Commented May 30, 2017 at 23:28
- @BryanKrause There is also no equivalent in modern Dutch (beyond "Dr."); it is archaic and its use is purely ceremonial nowadays. The custom to use it congratulatory after the ceremony could even be exclusive to the university or department of OP's friend, it certainly doesn't happen where I'm at. – J. Doe Commented May 31, 2017 at 12:30
- @J.Doe Got it - yeah I would say in the US even just "doctor" fulfills the same role among friends - people will say it to you immediately after your defense and you expect them never to say it again, the only exceptions being formal correspondence and undergraduates. – Bryan Krause ♦ Commented May 31, 2017 at 15:13
- Thanks for the input. It is indeed very much related to the ceremony, which is different amongst different universities in Holland, and Leiden University is known to be one of the most archaic. If you would address people like this outside of the ceremony, it is generally sarcastic, although it is used in formal writing as well. – Daniël Kleinloog-Fernández Commented May 31, 2017 at 22:52

I am a mexican, I dont think we use anything other than:
"Doctor" + Lastname
or if you want to use "very honourable well-learned gentleman"
Honorable y muy sabio caballero
- I don't think anywhere in the Spanish speaking world there's a phrase like that even at a place fixated on customs/traditions for the defense like Salamanca. As you said, just "doctor(a) X", with the most common congratulatory comment being simply felicitaciones/felicidades. (You may want to give the feminine form of honorable y muy sabia dama too even though the OP specified a male student) – user0721090601 Commented May 31, 2017 at 1:50
- Sabio is good! – aparente001 Commented May 31, 2017 at 3:34
- @guifa I was given the translated version of what he wanted to say, but yes its not commonly used. – luisluix Commented Jun 1, 2017 at 15:26
- 1 @luisluix oh I wasn't trying to criticize your answer, quote the opposite. Quise expresar que no existe una fórmula especial aparte de los saludos normales, tal y como dices para Méjico, pero también es el mismo caso en —que sepa yo— el resto del mundo hispanohablante. Caso hubiese una, tendría que ser en las antiguas del Perú, Méjico o España y nunca he escuchado nada parecido. – user0721090601 Commented Jun 1, 2017 at 20:58
It sounds like it would give you pleasure and satisfaction to lay it on thick for this special occasion. I think it would probably please your friend, too! I will suggest something pompous and hopefully lovely for you. I'm not getting this from tradition, but I think it will work for your purposes. (If you want to see some votes to guide you, you could ask that your question be migrated to Spanish SE.) Let's suppose your friend's name is Rafael Pérez Hernández.
Muy buenas tardes a todos. [That's to get people's attention and attune their ears so they'll understand that you have switched to Spanish.] Felicidades al muy estimado y honorable Doctor Rafael Pérez Hernández.
It means: Good afternoon, everyone. Congratulations to the admired and honorable Dr. Rafael Pérez Hernández.
- Thank you very much for the suggestion. It will help me out! – Daniël Kleinloog-Fernández Commented May 31, 2017 at 22:52

Qualifying Examination: Procedures and Evaluation
Students who obtained their M.A. at another institution must take a qualifying examination after their first semester in the Ph.D. program. The goal of the exam is to ensure that students have both the specific field knowledge and the theoretical and/or critical background to continue in the program.
A student must declare her/his intention to take the qualifying examination in writing to the director of graduate Studies at least 60 days prior to the examination date, and at this time s/he should select the areas or fields and faculty advisor with whom s/he wants to work in preparation for the qualifying. The exam will be given every January, before the beginning of the spring semester. A committee consisting of two department faculty members (including the advisor) will meet to evaluate the examination and discuss the student's overall progress in the Ph.D. program. Written notification of the results will be sent to the student within one month of completing the exam. In the event that the student does not pass the exam, her/his advisor and the director of graduate studies may recommend that the student retake the examination in May. If a student does not pass the retake exam, s/he will not be allowed to continue in the Ph.D. program.
The examination is based on a list of 10 primary texts in the fields of Latin American and/or Spanish literature chosen by the student in consultation with her/his faculty advisor. The list of 10 books should focus on the student’s specific area of interest, as the purpose of the exam is to evaluate a student’s reading and writing skills as s/he continues to pursue a doctoral degree. The director of graduate studies must receive and approve the list of 10 texts as soon as the decision is made. Once the list is approved by the DGS, the student will have a maximum of 10 business days to select five (5) books from the list of 10 primary texts to prepare for the exam and inform the DGS and her/his faculty advisor of her/his decision. The DGS will then, in consultation with the student, establish the exact date of the examination in January (or May in the event of a retake).
The examination will be formulated by the faculty advisor and will include the following: (a) a close reading of a passage of no more than 500 words from one (1) book from the student’s list of five, which would lead to (b) an extrapolation to a wider set of ideas pertaining to the whole book and/or to the five (5) books selected. The student will receive the examination question by hand at the time of the exam and will have 4 hours to answer it in a room on a computer provided by the department with no internet access. The exam will be written in Spanish, with the exception of English for students who are specialized in U.S. Latina/o Studies. No notes or bibliography may be consulted, although a bilingual dictionary may be used.
The exam will be proctored by the Director of Graduate Studies or the SLLC Graduate Coordinator.
Route to Ph.D. Candidacy
After Ph.D. coursework has been completed, students proceed through a pre-candidacy stage consisting of three components: the comprehensive examination, the language reading (or “translation”) exam and the dissertation proposal and defense. Following successful completion of these three elements, students are advanced to candidacy and are considered “ABD” (all but dissertation).
Comprehensive Examination The comprehensive examination consists of three essays written over a span of three weeks. The essays are based on the courses a student has taken and on reading lists tailored to his or her sub-fields of focus (two in the main area and one in the secondary area). The three reading lists are created in consultation with faculty specialists in the areas of examination.
The comprehensive examination is offered three times per year, in January, May and August. On three consecutive Mondays, the student will receive a question to be answered in essay form, each related to a particular sub-field. These essays will be due by 3:00 p.m. on the Thursday of each respective week.
Sixty days prior to the desired examination start date, the candidate must inform the director of graduate studies as well as the professor assigned to administer the exam of his/her intention to sit for the examination. This notification should be submitted in writing, outlining the areas and sub-fields in which the student will be examined.
Exams will be evaluated by a committee consisting of two faculty members per subfield. Where appropriate, and in only one instance per student, the same faculty member may be called upon to evaluate two of the essays.
In the case of an unsuccessful examination, the student’s Ph.D. advisor and the director of graduate studies may recommend that the student sit a second time for the comprehensive examination. Continuation in the Ph.D. program depends on the successful outcome of any second attempt.
Language Reading (“Translation”) Examination This examination consists of a “for sense” translation from a third language into English or Spanish. The topic of the text will be related to the student's field of specialization. The choice of the language will be determined by its usefulness as a tool for the student's dissertation research. This exam may be repeated once. The student will choose a book or a long article together with a professor qualified to evaluate the third language (the examiner) and then notify the DGS of when the exam is to take place. The examiner will select a passage from the book or long article, which must be between 1,000 and 1,500 words. The examiner must submit the passage to the DGS for review at least two weeks prior to the exam. The student will have three hours to complete the exam, which will take place on campus and be proctored. Please note that only a printed dictionary (not an electronic source) is allowed to assist with the translation exam. For your information, please note that professors Igel and Lima are authorized to conduct examinations in Portuguese; and professors Naharro and Benito-Vessels are authorized to conduct examinations in French. Any questions about who is qualified to conduct the exam should be directed to the DGS. Please note also that dissertation advisors are not allowed to administer exams to their advisees. The examiner evaluates the exam and communicates the result directly to the DGS, who will then advise the student. The reading exam can be taken at any point prior to advancement to candidacy.
Dissertation Proposal and Defense The final stage of the pre-candidacy period is focused on preparation for the writing of the dissertation. In consultation with an advisory committee consisting of the dissertation director and three members of the faculty, the student will write a dissertation proposal that aims to give a clear sense of the intended corpus of study, intellectual aims and methodology. The proposal should include a review of the literature, an outline of projected chapters and a selected bibliography. Proposals should be about 25-30 pages in length and are expected to be completed within four months to one year after the comprehensive examination.
The advisory committee and the candidate will then convene for the defense of the proposal. All faculty in the department are welcome to attend the defense.
The Dissertation
As stated previously, the Ph.D. is essentially a research degree. This means that coursework taken for the Ph.D. is intended as a preparation for the dissertation. It is therefore of the utmost importance that the student identify his/her field of interest as soon as possible. Early in the first semester, students should consult with one or more professors and explore the research possibilities in the field, period, genre, author(s) of his/her particular interest and select an academic advisor accordingly.
Dissertation Defense
When the candidate has completed the dissertation, the director of graduate studies notifies the Graduate School of its completion. The dean of the Graduate School, upon the recommendation of the director of graduate studies, appoints an examining committee for the candidate. This examining committee will include four members of the department and one member from another academic unit who acts as the graduate dean's representative. The committee will be chaired by the dissertation director.
All members of the examining committee will read the dissertation in its final form and take part in an oral examination in which the candidate defends his/her findings. Copies of the dissertation must be given to members of the examining committee at least 10 days before the date set for the oral examination. The Graduate School has established procedures for the dissertation examination. For details on these and all other aspects regarding the dissertation, please see the Thesis and Dissertation Forms and Guidelines. In addition, the student must provide the department with one copy of the final version of his/her dissertation.
Students are expected to defend the dissertation within 4 years of advancing to candidacy. The director of graduate studies may approve an extension of up to one year in cases of extenuating circumstances.
Application for Graduation
Students must apply for a graduate diploma early in the semester in which they intend to receive their degree. Deadlines are published in the Schedule of Classes.
Note: Once students are done they MUST file an EXIT form with the Graduate School and, if applicable, an address change form.
