© Sandra MeyndtBinational doctorate: the co-tutoring of thesis
One subject, two universities. Within Eucor – The European Campus, several forms of doctoral supervision work side by side: the classical form, the national or international doctorate with double supervision, the European doctorate and the binational doctorate called co-tutoring of thesis. The latter aims to intensify international cooperation in research by strengthening the mobility of doctoral candidates. It enables, unlike other types of doctorate, to obtain a doctorate degree from two universities at the same time, based on a single thesis and a single exam, approved by the thesis tutors of the two universities concerned.

Doctoral status
Doctoral candidates have the same rights in member universities as in their home university (access to online services, restaurants and university residences, special rates in transport, mobility scholarships, borrowing from libraries, etc.).

- Soft Matter Science
