This Methodology, elaborated in accordance with the provisions of OME no.5956/13.08.2024 for the approval of the Methodology regarding the automatic recognition of the quality of PhD supervisor obtained in higher education or research-development institutions abroad, establishes the procedure by which the automatic recognition is carried out, by the Institution Organizing Doctoral University Studies – National University of Music Bucharest (IOSUD-UNMB), of the quality of PhD supervisor obtained in higher education or research-development institutions abroad.

The procedure applies to Romanian citizens, citizens of European Union member states, of the European Economic Area, of the Swiss Confederation, and citizens of third countries who have legally acquired the right to supervise doctorates in accredited higher education or research-development institutions abroad.

The citizens mentioned above may obtain the certificate of habilitation recognition as follows:
