PhD Course (D.M.45)
Information Engineering and Computer Science
COURSE SUMMARY
The PhD programme in Information Engineering and Computer Science, an evolution of the previous programme in Computer Science and Telecommunications, aims to train young professionals capable of developing innovative and high-quality IT and telecommunications systems to address complex problems.
The programme emphasises entrepreneurial skills among doctoral candidates and fosters their professional growth through specialised training and opportunities for practical experience. The fields of study and research are varied and diverse, with the programme also encouraging transdisciplinary training initiatives and collaborations with other organisations as well as educational and research institutions.
