The goal of the doctoral study programme is to provide outstanding graduates from the MSc study programme with a specialized university education of the highest level.

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.

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

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 doctoral study programme, Applied Mechanics, is focused on independent scientific and research projects in the field of mechanics. Its aim is to produce highly-educated and creative graduates capable of taking part in scientific research and professional applications of the laws of mechanics in mechanical engineering.

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.

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.

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.

It is the main PhD study programme in Lithuania directly related to knowledge of creation of high added-value solutions for various sectors of industry: aerospace, water, ground and air transport, renewable and nuclear energy. The accounting of such strategic energy resources, as oil, gas, electricity, etc. depends on measurable quantities.

By choosing courses with the guidance of his or her supervisor, each student can adjust the programme to his or her research interests.

The main objective of the PhD program in Engineering is to train highly qualified technicians and researchers, particularly specialized in Mechatronics or in Energy, who are able to carry out independent research or experimental work, in a corporate environment, as well as within the university context. The offer of a third Cycle in Mechatronics Engineering and Energy is the natural sequence of second Cycles, namely those offered by the University of Evora, MSc in Mechatronics Engineering and MSc in Solar Energy Engineering, and it results from the developed research at the University of Evora, particularly in the Research Centers evaluated by the FCT, where the cycle Professors are integrated as researchers, namely the ICT-Institute of Earth Sciences with its connection to the Renewable Energy Chair of the University of Evora and the LAETA-Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics. This PhD program provides advanced specialization areas, with a remarkable interdisciplinary potential in emerging fields, from product design engineering, instrumentation, automatic control and Process supervision, to the development of a range of technologies applied to Mechatronics engineering, energy efficiency in processes, energy capture, conversion and concentration.

Robotics and intelligent systems is an interdisciplinary engineering department that deals with data collection and processing and their application-oriented use in industrial processes and is constantly developing with contributions from various areas of knowledge such as mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer and industrial engineering.

PhD program is run at the Doctoral School at Gdansk University of Technology (Gdansk Tech) and offers 4-year-long PhD training. It concerns the following disciplines: civil engineering and transport; architecture and urbanism; environmental engineering, mining and power engineering; materials engineering; mechanical engineering; control, electronic and electrical engineering; technical informatics and telecommunications; biomedical engineering. Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech) offers education in the Doctoral School which is free of charge, provides a scholarship, and a creative and interdisciplinary approach to research. Our school was founded in 2019 and started functioning as of the academic year 2019/2020. However, the doctoral studies at our university are more than 30 years old.
