The celebration of cooperation protocols and agreements is envisaged as a relevant strategy for bringing together and consolidating collaboration between the School of Engineering and other international entities, constituting a fundamental practice within UMinho.
The doctorate in cotutelle is the regime by which a student can obtain a doctoral degree simultaneously from UMinho and a foreign university where there is a similar doctoral program, individually, by carrying out a period of study at the other institution, under a specific protocol.
The "European Doctorate" is a title associated with the degree of Doctor, conferred by European universities and mentioned in the Diploma, not constituting itself an academic degree.
There are several collaboration activities that can be framed through cooperation agreements and protocols. For more information on formalizing these type of agreements and protocols, see this page.
