The focus of the PhD Programme in Sciences and Engineering will be to perform research and generate new knowledge at the interfaces of sciences and engineering, with a transdisciplinary scientific approach. The programme will include topics in: Engineering (all disciplines), Engineering and Technology Management, Computer and Information Sciences, Environmental and Material Sciences. The Departments of Engineering and Informatics both have very vibrant PhD programmes that allow students to engage in a number of diverse education and research activities, which range from soft skills to research seminars and reading groups. In addition to the activities at department level, students are embedded in one or more of the research groups of the departments and participate in the groups’ activities.
