Overview
MAP-I is fully integrated in the initiative CMU-Portugal Doctoral Programs in Computer Science / Informatics, a collaborative framework for the dual degree PhD Programme in Computer Science envisioned in the recent CMU-Portugal Agreement implemented through ICTI: Information and Communication Technologies Institute.
On applying to MAP-I, students must also apply specifically to the Dual Degree Programme, which will follow a specific course plan (with the expected duration of 5 years of full-time work), co-advised by a CMU faculty member and a faculty member of one of the MAP-I Universities. The student is expected to spend a first period of three to four semesters at CMU. In this period, the student shall take star courses (as specified by CMU/CSD regulations) and start working on research.
Admission will depend on the existence of a co-advising arrangement which identifies possible research topics for the thesis.
Application
A specific application to CMU/MAP-I Dual Degree Programme, must include
- All documents required for a regular MAP-I application
