The doctorate can be organized in national cotutelle as well as in international cotutelle. The doctoral student in international cotutelle carries out his activity under the simultaneous guidance of a doctoral supervisor from Romania and a doctoral supervisor from another country, based on a written agreement between the organizing institutions involved.
The agreement stipulates the requirements for the organization and conduct of the doctorate in each of the two institutions, in accordance with the role it has in the cotutelle and with the specific legislation in each country.
In interdisciplinary scientific fields, the PhD in cotutelle can also be carried out under the guidance of two PhD supervisors from the country. In this case, the above provisions are adapted accordingly.
