Habilitation & Recognition

Habilitation procedure

The habilitation procedure is the process whereby the quality of doctoral supervisor is granted. The habilitation thesis - to be defended before a specialist committee - reflects the candidate’s scientific activity and professional career after having been awarded the doctor’s degree, but also presents the prospects for the career development.

The procedure is valid only for the doctoral fields accredited or authorised to operate at UNITBV and complies with the norms of academic ethics and deontology, both regarding the candidate’s achievements and the evaluation thereof.
