Joint supervision of thesis

The University of Limoges participates in international exchanges and supports the international joint supervision of theses.

The co-tutoring of a thesis is formalised through the signing of an agreement between a foreign institution of higher education and the University of Limoges, concluded in name for a doctoral candidate. The doctoral candidate is instructed by a thesis supervisor at each of the partner institutions. For the joint supervision to be effective, the student must be enrolled at both institutions. The co-tutoring agreement specifies the conditions for preparation of the thesis and includes alternating and balanced periods between institutions, payment of tuition fees and the social insurance scheme, and the terms of defence and awarding of the diploma. The thesis leads to a single defence.
