| Dual Doctorates |
Technion has signed agreements with Italy’s Politecnico Milano, Germany’s Technische Universitat (TU) Berlin, and Sweden’s Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH - Royal Institute of Technology), to award joint PhD degrees from both Technion and the partner university.
Dean of the Jacobs Graduate School, Prof. Moshe Shpitalni, reports that Technion is also engaging in similar negotiations with additional universities. “We already have one Technion student studying civil engineering at KTH in Stockholm, who has started the program this year,” he says.
Such agreements encourage mutual cooperation and contact between students and researchers at the Technion and at other universities in Israel and abroad. Students must be admitted for doctoral studies to both universities, in accordance with the criteria required by each one of them, and spend a minimum of one year studying at each of the two institutions. At least one adviser per institution will be assigned to the student. The student will have to pass only one candidacy examination and one final examination and will have to submit one final research thesis. Students pursuing such degrees will be granted the degree of Dual Doctorate or a Joint Doctorate from both universities.
