12 Mechanical Engineering PhD Degree Programs in Europe

UTCB is a member of the European University EU—CONEXUS—Smart, Urban, Coastal, Sustainability, along with 8 other partners.

The objective of Mechanical Engineering doctoral studies is to prepare future leaders in mechanical engineering capable of practical design and creative application of computational methods for the development and research of mathematical models of real-world objects and systems.

PhD in Mechanical Engineering Technology develops manufacturing technologies in mechanical engineering by deepening the knowledge of natural and economic disciplines. The latest knowledge and methods of research in the field of technological processes and their management are developed and applied. The aim of the study is to acquire competencies and abilities for independent and team scientific and creative work. The graduate is prepared for research and teaching professions in structured departments of scientific and academic institutions and other technically oriented subjects and companies.

The Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest technical-scientific areas of knowledge assuming a predominant role in the majority of the industrial activities. However, manufacturing and process industries over the world are facing unprecedented competitiveness challenges. Companies must provide new solutions and products at an ever-increasing rate, being flexible to meet changing market conditions as fast as possible. Moreover, it is fundamental to maximize productivity by reducing waste and energy consumption and by optimizing existing physical assets and human resources. The PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro aims to contribute to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and technological challenges in the Mechanical Engineering field.

The objective of the Doctoral program is to train young scientists with up-to-date knowledge and techniques in the fast growing and of particular importance for the society field of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. The students are specialized in one of the research areas of the program (Biomedical Engineering, Energy Systems, Manufacturing) with the aim to create proper conditions for a successful professional career in the public or private sector, in industry, in academic institutions or research organizations.

This field offers the study of PhD in Construction of Production Machines and Equipment one of several specializations in the field of construction and calculations of both machines and their parts and groups. In the field, it is possible to study the issue of machine drives, both mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic.

Suitable for persons interested in PhD in Applied Mechanics or biomechanics. Suitable for an additional career. Large interdisciplinary cooperation in scientific and technical projects and with industrial companies. Possibilities to study abroad. Independence, assessment, and decision of suitable processes for the solutions of technical problems. Interests from companies.
