Doctorate (PhD) in Civil Engineering
The objective of the doctoral study programme is the advancement of analytical and experimental knowledge. A combination of specialised courses and a research thesis, conducted under the supervision of an experienced researcher, forms the main component of the programme. Where possible, research of interest to the industry is strongly encouraged.
The Doctorate Programme in Civil Engineering is essential for developing academics in various fields of civil engineering research. The programme also provides qualified students from diverse academic disciplines with the opportunity to pursue advanced-level education in civil engineering.
The PhD study programme for full-time students lasts for a minimum of six semesters (three academic years) and a maximum of eight semesters (four academic years). For part-time students, it lasts for a minimum of six semesters (three academic years) up to a maximum of twelve semesters (six academic years). The first year is devoted to core courses. Formal work on the dissertation begins in the second year, and students are encouraged to start their thesis through active research and writing early on.
