Cotutelle
The cotutelle consists of a collaboration between two universities from two different countries aimed at creating a training course for PhD students enrolled in PhD Courses active in the partner universities. This collaboration requires that the PhD student carry out his/her thesis work at the two locations for alternating periods preferably of equivalent duration and in any case for a minimum period of twelve months under the supervision of two supervisors, one for each location. The training path ends with a single exam following which a degree (double or joint) recognized in both countries is issued.
Requirements and procedures
At the basis of the cotutelle there is an agreement between the Universities: unless a framework agreement is specifically requested by the partner University, a specific (nominative) agreement is sufficient for each PhD student who decides to undertake this path.
The requirements to set up a cotutelle are:
- enrollment in a PhD program at the University “G. d’Annunzio” or at a foreign University;
- acceptance by home supervisor and prospective host supervisor;
- approval of the competent body of the PhD course of the University of Chieti-Pescara.
