Objective This programme offers you the opportunity to do a bi-national doctoral degree at your home university and at a university in Germany. There are two possible options: Option a) Doctorate with bi-national supervision: Your doctoral project is supervised by a university teacher both at your home university and at the host institute in Germany (so-called 'sandwich model'). Your project must be agreed with both supervisors according to the following procedure: You start your doctoral degree in your home country. This is followed by research trips to Germany. You complete your doctorate in your home country and are also supervised by the German academic adviser. Your home university awards the doctoral degree. Option b) Doctorate following the 'Cotutelle' procedure: Funding is provided for doctoral projects that are carried out at the home university and at a university in Germany according to the so-called Cotutelle model. This is based on an individual cooperation agreement which is concluded individually for your doctoral project by the participating universities. After you have successfully completed your doctorate, the German university and your home university award the doctoral degree jointly. Who can apply? Depending on the nature of your project, you can apply for: a) bi-national supervision based on the 'sandwich model'. You can apply if you have earned a Master’s degree or Diplom (or in exceptional cases a Bachelor’s degree) at the latest at the start of the funding period. b) 'Cotutelle model'.
