With the proposed doctoral study programme, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture and Faculty of Metallurgy expect a new and for potential doctoral candidates fully fledged and attractive doctoral study to be established. Simultaneously, it seeks to raise the level of cooperation with industry and the number of doctoral graduates in industry to support the development of a knowledge-based society.
A detailed overview of the research topics within the proposed study modules helps doctoral candidates to easily identify the topic closest to their research interest and thus enrol in the desired study module. The involvement of top foreign researchers in the study programme shows strong cooperation with the world's leading scientific institutions and provides a completely new dimension to pursuing a doctoral study. The possibilities to choose between courses from other modules as well as the possibility to enrol into courses from other universities, enable the doctoral candidates to create their own study programme in line with their own research needs. Numerous possibilities to earn ECTS credits during studies stimulate doctoral students to pursue research and equally reward their mobility as well as other activities related to the acquisition of experience and knowledge necessary to successfully complete the doctoral study.
