Joint Programmes

General Information

PhD studies with dual supervision of dissertations, known as cotutelle, take place on the basis of cooperation between Charles University and a university abroad. Joint supervision of a dissertation is handled by two supervisors, one from each involved institution, and the student spends a part of the PhD programme at both institutions.
