Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Information Technology: The PhD is a programme of independent, self-directed academic research degree, supported by a team of supervisors that makes an original contribution to knowledge written up in a publishable dissertation. The PhD programme also supports the development of research and generic skills to equip you to operate successfully as a professional researcher in any setting. The essential requirement of a PhD is the creation of new knowledge. Being a researcher means developing new ideas and improving understanding through the creation of new knowledge.

PhD students must carry out research on an individual basis under the guidance of a professor.

Students who completed their (follow-up) master´s studies in the same field of study or a related one will be admitted to PhD studies. Applicants who have duly submitted their application and have attached all the required documents will be subjected to individual assessment of the submitted documentation (results of previous studies, CV, a list of published and unpublished works) and the opinion of the supervisor will be taken into account.

Advance your expertise with Walsh College's prestigious PhD programs, designed for professionals and academics seeking to lead innovation and drive meaningful change. Choose from specialized tracks in Organizational Leadership, AI & Machine Learning, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity to tailor your studies to your career goals.

Why our APU Ph.D. by research program? You will be assigned to a group of highly qualified supervisors; a Wide range of the latest research areas in the fields of technology.

PhD in Computer Science The main goal of this programme is to train future scientists with a strong professional background who are capable of working in an international and highly competitive environment, such as the Information Technology (IT) sector.

The School of Engineering is devoted to pushing the frontiers of research in applied sciences and to developing new technologies that can advance human wellbeing and environmental sustainability. The School of Engineering’s Ph.D. in Electronic Science and Technology program trains doctoral students in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and technology and actively recruits top talent from around the world.

Subject to the stipulations of the General Academic Regulation G42, no candidate is admitted to doctoral studies unless such a candidate holds a master's degree in Engineering or an equivalent master's degree.

The aim of doctoral studies in Informatics is to educate scientists capable to develop and creatively apply the methods of information technology for creation and analysis of the mathematical models of real-world objects and systems aiming to find solutions to important scientific and practical problems.

The Ph.D. study program Communication technology is focused on the scientific and academic education of experts who make their careers in the fields of research and development or in academia. Throughout their study, the Ph.D. students are an integral part of ongoing RD projects. They actively publish the findings of their scientific work and are introduced to the scientific community by their mentors. The study requires a minimum of four academic years of study. After the successful defense of the thesis, the students are awarded the Ph.D. degree.

The Doctoral Program Do*Mar - Marine Science, Technology and Management is a joint international PhD offered by the Universities of Aveiro, Minho, Trás-os-Montes-e-Alto-Douro, Porto, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela and Coruña, with the collaboration of CSIC - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, the Instituto Español de Oceanografía, the University of St. Andrews, the Station Biologique de Roscof and the Institute of Oceanography of the University of S. Paulo as host partners.

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.

The mission of the Applied Science & Technology Ph.D. program is to prepare students for high-level science and technology careers in industry, research, and government. Graduates will be able to conceive, develop, and conduct original research that applies physical, mathematical, and technological methods to provide solutions to a broad range of emerging local, national, and global problems related to Atmospheric, Environmental, and Energy Science; Applied Physics; Bioscience; Applied Chemistry; Data Science and Analytics; Applied Engineering Technology; Information Technology; Technology Management; Geomatics; and STEM Education.

PhD in Sustainable Energy and Technologies With this PhD programme we train young researchers in the field of sustainable use of resources in the production systems of energy, of buildings, in energy final utilisation, in the development of products and in manufacturing.

Applied Sciences in Engineering is a PhD programme focused on the research of problems in the boundary between engineering and natural sciences. The scope of the PhD thesis falls into one or more of the following areas: Computer Simulations, Physics and optics, and Material engineering.
