Dual Doctorate Framework Agreement
The Dual Doctorate Framework supports and makes it easier for two CLUSTER universities (including associate members) to set up a dual doctorate programme, where a student is assigned a supervisor at both institutions. The studies are performed at both institutions and end with a joint public examination. For more information see the Dual Doctorate Framework.
Mutual Recognition of Titles
The rectors and presidents of the CLUSTER institutions have agreed that students with a Bachelor degree from a CLUSTER university will be treated for admission to a Master’s program in another CLUSTER institution in the same way as the local students of this institution. Further, students with a Master’s degree from a CLUSTER university will be treated for admission to a Ph.D. program in another CLUSTER institution in the same way as the local students of this institution.
