The CMU|Portugal Dual Degree PhD program in Computer Science aims to promote the education of high-quality researchers, instructors, and innovation agents in all subareas of Computer Science of mutual interest.
*** DEADLINE: 15 December 2009 ***
The CMU|Portugal initiative offers an extraordinary opportunity for outstanding candidates to enroll in Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science top-ranking PhD program, and get involved in joint research activities distributed between Europe and the United States.
Typically, students accepted in the program will spend two years at Carnegie Mellon University and three years in Portugal, being co-advised by a faculty member from Carnegie Mellon and a faculty member from an accredited partner university in Portugal (see below).
Scholarships will support student and co-advisor travel, and stipend and tuition fees for both Carnegie Mellon and the Portuguese institution.
Candidates must submit a single application to the submission site at Carnegie Mellon, were all details on the admission package may be found,
