The Doctor of Philosophy program in Computer Science and Software Engineering offers a unique opportunity for doctoral students to develop research and development skills in cutting-edge computer science and software engineering disciplines. We cater to doctoral students with outstanding aptitude and strong research skills in computer science and software engineering. A dissertation embodying the results of this research represents the major portion of the requirements for this degree. Four calendar years beyond the bachelor’s degree or three past the master’s degree are usually needed to complete the Ph.D. program.

Computer Engineering is a broad field that covers many diverse areas of study such as computer networks, computational intelligence and robotics, computer hardware systems, embedded and real-time systems, computer software design, operating systems, algorithms, etc. Students and faculty in Computer Engineering also develop synergies with disciplines outside of engineering; for example, with medicine and the life sciences that can lead to education and research in, for instance, biomedical engineering.

The branch of knowledge of this course in PhD in Informatics Engineering is precisely Informatics Engineering. Through its PhD program in computer science, UAlg intends to affirm its presence in this scientific field. There is a bachelor's and a master's degree in Informatics Engineering in the Institution, already with some parchments.

These are exciting times in electrical and computer engineering. Humanity is in the midst of a revolution that started with the harnessing of electric energy and has evolved to today’s ubiquitous access and use of information. Electrical and computer engineering occupy the leading role in driving this revolution. Electrical and computer engineering provides the devices and methods to collect, process, communicate and store information. These fields of engineering also contribute fundamental technology to solve our society’s most pressing problems as the evolution towards electrification of infrastructure to address environmental challenges. Researchers in electrical and computer engineering have provided such advances as wireless access to the internet, super-fast communications across the world, control systems that deliver a man to the moon, portable computing devices, self-driving vehicles, robotics, the smart grid powered from renewable energy, and so much more.

The University of Aveiro is proud of a history of excellence in teaching and research in the areas of Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology. Multiple teaching projects, some with pioneering character in the country, and multifaceted research dynamics with international recognition, shape this history. History that also records the fundamental role it has played in the creation and structuring of a business fabric that has in Informatics and, more generally, in Information and Communication Technologies, an essential component of its activity.

The field of computer science evolves very quickly and often traditional universities only deal with some aspects of this particular segment of science.

The Ph.D. program is designed to prepare students for a career in research. As such, it requires considerable self-directed study and independent research.

The Future Begins Here. A research intensive institution powered by a strong R&D infrastructure and a networked global alliance, the School offers its students the prospects of pioneering next-generation research in a wide spectrum of technological areas.

Electronics systems manipulate electrical currents using devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. These components control or amplify the flow of current and convert it from one form to another.

Work leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of their professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree shall be the candidate's grasp of the subject matter of a broad field of study and a demonstrated ability to do independent research.
