Thus, the joint diploma certificate should not only mention the mutual recognition of the bi-national dissertation, but must also emphasize the fact that the doctoral degree is awarded bi-nationally. If a country issues immutable domestic doctoral diplomas (as is the case in France, for example), then both universities must at least issue a joint doctoral document or diploma referring to each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-big-font-size\">The <a data-info-popup-body=\"Each supervising university will receive at least one original version of the agreement (the supervisors and the doctoral candidate frequently receive one as well).
