Doctoral studies at the Faculty of Technology

The Faculty of Technology offers doctoral education across nine distinct research disciplines.

Doctoral education comprises four years of full-time study leading to a PhD degree, and two years of full-time study for a licentiate degree. The programme includes doctoral-level courses, seminar activities, and independent research conducted under individual supervision. The research is expected to culminate in a scholarly thesis, which is publicly defended at the end of the programme.
