An incoming joint PhD is a PhD student affiliated with another University that wishes to pursue in parallel also the PhD at Politecnico di Torino, e.g., to formalize an ongoing collaboration.
Contact people @SCUDO: Irene Gino, Alessandra Fontanella
Constraints for the activation of the joint PhD
- The PhD student must spend a minimum of 18 months at Politecnico di Torino
- The joint PhD must be activated within the first 12 months of their PhD, or must have still 3 years of doctoral program after the beginning of the joint PhD
- The PhD student must have as preliminary degree a Master of Science
- Some international institutions allow to begin a PhD right after a Bachelor degree - this is not the case for Politecnico di Torino
How to proceed
- The following document must be filled in and signed by the two supervisors plus the coordinator of the PhD program
- The document formalizes the motivation for the activation of the joint Phd, plus the administrative contacts at destination
- The whole process takes usually 3-5 months. The process may be quicker if joint PhDs have been signed in the past with the same university.
- Documents to be sent to Irene Gino (please cc the INTE committee) :
How the joint PhD works for the PhD student
- Once that the Joint PhD agreement is signed, the student is formally enrolled at Politecnico di Torino with a regular student matricola number
- The PhD student must follow the rules of both institutions. In case of conflicts, the prevailing rules are the ones from the home University.
- For Politecnico, this implies that the student must:
- Meet the minimum requirements on publications
- Meet the requirements on Hard and Soft Skill courses
- Courses taken at their home institution may be recognized, but require formal discussion during a Collegio
- Pass the yearly evaluation as all Politecnico PhD students
- Be formally admitted to the final discussion, as all Politecnico PhD students
- The PhD defense will be carried out most likely at the home institution, as agreed during the negotiation phase. The evaluation board usually includes members of both Institutions.
