PhD Co-Tutelle Agreements
What is a Cotutelle?
A cotutelle is a binational doctorate. The degree is conferred by two institutions from different countries.
A written agreement, setting out the conditions and legal norms for the binational doctorate must be signed by the representatives of both institutions for each cotutelle.
