The procedure aims to establish the way in which the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (UTCB) recognizes the quality of doctoral supervisor obtained in accredited higher education institutions from abroad, respecting the principles of legality, university autonomy, transparency, responsibility, and the applicable ethical and deontological norms.

The exercise of the rights conferred by the quality of doctoral supervisor and holding a teaching position in the Romanian higher education system is carried out according to the legal regulations in force.

The procedure applies within the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest for the automatic recognition of the quality of doctoral supervisor obtained in accredited foreign higher education institutions, for applicants who have obtained the quality of doctoral supervisor or habilitation at:

a) accredited higher education institutions from member states of the European Union or the European Economic Area or from the Swiss Confederation;

b) prestigious universities included in the List of prestigious universities from other states, approved by order of the competent minister, periodically updated;

c) accredited higher education institutions from abroad, which are the subject of an international mutual recognition agreement, concluded at intergovernmental or interuniversity level.

All applicants who do not fall into one of the situations mentioned above will address directly the National Center for Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas within the competent ministry.

Applicants must have the status of doctoral supervisor in one of the doctoral fields accredited at UTCB.

After receiving the favorable resolution from the CSD and the favorable opinion from the CSUD, the candidate will submit an affiliation request to the Doctoral School of UTCB, according to the provisions of the Doctoral School Regulations. The affiliation request will be endorsed by the director of the department where the applicant will be assigned.
