CMU-Portugal
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
- GRE scores
- TOEFL results
- Proof that the candidate has completed a formal undergraduate course at the
- level of at least 3 year BSc (with prior research experience) or preferably
- MSc in a scientific or engineering discipline.
MAP-i & UT Austin Joint Research Program
MAP-i is engaged in a Joint Research Program in the field of Advanced Computing within the framework of the UT Austin|Portugal Program (CoLab), promoted by FCT. Within this initiative, funded PhD students will spend at least one year at UTAustin, preferably their second year. The doctoral research will be co-advised by MAP-i and UTexas faculty.
