Co-supervision of thesis

Co-supervision of doctoral theses is an agreement between the University of Palermo and a foreign university that allows a doctoral student who requests it to carry out their doctoral thesis research under the joint supervision of two supervisors from the respective universities. Upon completion of the program, the doctoral student receives a doctoral degree recognized by both universities. Co-supervision of doctoral theses can take two forms:

1. Co-supervision of incoming theses: a doctoral student from a foreign university requests permission to carry out their doctoral thesis work in collaboration with the University of Palermo;
2. Co-supervision of outgoing theses: a doctoral student enrolled at the University of Palermo requests permission to carry out their doctoral thesis work in collaboration with a foreign university.

Co-supervision of doctoral theses represents a valuable opportunity for doctoral students, allowing them to broaden their research horizons, enrich their education through an international context, and acquire a broader and more global scientific perspective.

The University of Palermo actively promotes international collaboration and can currently boast numerous co-tutorship agreements with prestigious universities, both European and non-European.
