Doctoral Degree Program
Introduction
As global information infrastructures continue to develop, there is a need for researchers and engineers who are highly competitive, globally aware and who have the foresight to predict paradigmatic shifts. These specialists will be trained in aspects beyond just a conventional PhD program. Students will be able to research specialized areas, and gain practical and critical thinking skills. Students are expected to work independently and to explore and take on challenging issues, through practical research in collaboration with local communities.
Our PhD programs focus on responding to the demands of the 21st century, furthering research and development and practical problem-solving skills. Depending on the thesis topic, our department offers a PhD in Information Sciences or a PhD in Information Engineering.
