Take your research global

Our Cotutelle PhD program connects you to a research project and one of our partner universities to take your studies global. As a Cotutelle student, you'll be co-enrolled and have joint supervision of your research program, and upon completion be awarded a PhD from both universities and receive two testamurs. Immerse yourself in a completely new culture and research environment and open doors to more networking opportunities, setting you up for a rewarding, international career.
