Development, Construction, Production: What does the future of technology look like? The doctorate degree program in Engineering Sciences focuses on independently exploring new scientific issues
Ph.D. candidates are trained to become scientists by learning in-depth how to formulate issues and conduct research at an international level. Your dissertation will explore new concepts and allow you to develop your methodological skills in a field of natural sciences under the academic guidance of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences. Independent scientific research is the focus, based on your undergraduate and graduate studies. Nothing can stand in the way of a research-oriented profession - at or outside of the university.
