Cotutelles

An available pathway for doctoral students at Queen's. A cotutelle is a customized program of study developed jointly by two institutions.

Students meet the degree requirements of each university’s doctoral programs; the student works with supervisors at each institution but prepares a single thesis. The thesis is examined by a committee drawn from faculty at each institution. The student is awarded two degree documents, and there is a notation on the transcripts indicating the cotutelle arrangement.
