Joint PhD Program and Co-advisorship (Cotutelle)

The Vice-Rectorate for Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (ESP) gives graduate students the opportunity to conduct their thesis work under the joint supervision of a Thesis Supervisor from the Université de Montréal and a Thesis Supervisor from an international partner institution. This is known as a Co-Advisorship (Cotutelle). Throughout their program of study, students will spend time at both institutions and will defend their thesis in front of a bipartite committee.
