Doctoral Programme in Engineering Sciences

The engineering sciences programme of the Doctoral School in Science and Engineering supports doctoral research across a range of engineering domains studied in the university's engineering department. Applicants are expected to hold an engineering master's or equivalent, though graduates in physics or mathematics can be considered when they show strong motivation for interdisciplinary work. Above-average results and a record of commitment to scientific work are required. Admission of full-time candidates depends on salary or fellowship funding already being in place, while part-time candidates are also accepted, which can suit engineers working in industry. Work is in English and usually lasts three to four years, with admission possible at any time. Candidates follow the common university framework of committee supervision and a minimum training requirement.
