Double PhD Program for Polimi and XJTU students

Polimi and XJTU have signed a Double PhD program open to engineering, architecture, and design graduates from both universities.

How the program works?

The program lasts four years, during which participants prepare a thesis under the joint supervision of two supervisors, one from each university. PhD students generally divide their time equally between the two countries and must complete 50% of the required credits at each university.

The program concludes with the awarding of a PhD by both universities, subject to additional work beyond a standard PhD curriculum.
