The PhD Programme in Linguistic Disciplines and Foreign Literatures actively participates in the process of internationalisation promoted by the University of Pisa through numerous agreements with prestigious foreign universities.
International Doctorate Degree
The title of Doctor Europaeus or International PhD can be issued to our PhD graduates, if specific conditions are respected (at least a 3-month research stay at a foreign university, foreign examiners for the dissertation, at least one foreign member in the defence / viva committee, defence / viva in a language other than Italian). For more information, please visit the dedicated page of the University website.
How to propose a new international agreement
Proposals for agreements with foreign PhD Programmes to tutor doctoral students jointly and grant them a dual-title must be examined and approved by the Faculty Council.
Supervisors can propose the activation of a new agreement with a partner foreign PhD Programma by contacting the person in charge of international relations at the administrative office for doctoral programmes of the University of Pisa (Ms. Daniela Viccica) in order to receive detailed instructions on the procedure.
Co-tutored doctoral students are required to participate in all the activities offered by our PhD programme online, as well as in person when in Italy as visiting PhD. They must present their research with their local peers.
For more information on the activation of co-tutorship agreements please visit the dedicated page of the University website and the regulations of the PhD program. It is not possible to sign co-tutoring agreements for students in their last year of the course (third year).
