12 Technology PhD Degree Programs in Europe

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.

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.

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to individual assessment of the submitted documentation (results of previous studies, CV, a list of published and unpublished works) and the opinion of the supervisor will be taken into account.

PhD in Control of Machines and Processes study program Control of Machines and Processes is focused on the control of machines and the control of processes. As a machine, you can imagine different production equipment and its subsystems, just as their grouping, it can be a robot, autonomous systems or mechatronic systems.

The Program aims to produce a new generation of highly qualified professionals well prepared to intervene in industrial, academic, regulatory and other relevant roles. By offering a wide choice of research opportunities in three renowned and complementary research institutions, an environment will be provided in which selected students will be able to identify and develop unique paths of advanced learning.

The students receive strong theoretical, research methodology, and scientific backgrounds, and complete their research individually, with some guidance from their supervisors. Supervision is offered by the top experts and wood scientists in Hungary. The topics are typically linked to industrial research or innovation projects so that Sopron doctoral graduates have not only strong theoretical backgrounds but are very practical scientists as well.

PhD in Technology is a full-time doctoral programme over the course of 3 years. The programme is based on research activities within the following fields of science and technology. The research done by our PhD candidates is an integral part of the activities in our research groups and research schools. Our candidates contribute in research projects working on long-term technological solutions to solve regional and global challenges. Many typically find employment in companies, universities or research institutions.
