All interested parties are hereby informed that applications for the 1st phase of the 2026/2027 academic year will open on 1st of July and will close on September 4th.
 
The main objective of the Doctoral Programme in Civil Engineering is to train highly qualified experts and researchers capable of undertaking autonomous research, development and innovation work within academic or business contexts in the field of Civil Engineering. The set of skills acquired by PhD students over their academic life will enhance the interaction between the University and the entrepreneurial fabric and will contribute towards the competitiveness and sustainability of the Civil Engineering sector at national and international levels.
 
The guiding principles of the Doctoral Programme in Civil Engineering are the following:
to complement the training received by holders of master degrees and 5-year undergraduate degrees in the field of Science and Engineering, particularly Civil Engineering, by providing advanced training in fast-growing areas such as Construction, Structures and Geotechnics, Hydraulics and Environment, as well as Planning and Transport Infrastructures, with particular emphasis on innovation and development of technologies and processes in these areas and on the source materials/products for construction technologies;
to provide students with solid training in research methodology and experimentation, which may allow them to conceive and promote the elaboration of research and development projects in academic and/or professional contexts, thus contributing to increase their abilities in terms of research, technological development and, consequently, their ability to innovate in order to achieve further knowledge in the field;
to boost Civil Engineering-related research and technological development, promoting their consolidation as an important element of the industrial sector.
 
Training Profile to be provided by the Course
The training profile of PhDs in Civil Engineering corresponds to highly qualified specialists and researchers capable of carrying out independent research, development and innovation work in a university or business environment in the area of Civil Engineering. The skills and culture acquired by the PhDs will enhance the interaction between the University and the business community, contributing to the competitiveness and sustainability of the Civil Engineering sector at national and international level.
Career Opportunities
Employers are companies in the Civil Engineering sectors, as well as public or private scientific research centers that develop activities in areas related to Civil Engineering.
Access to Higher Studies
The conclusion of this doctoral course allows research activity at the post-doctoral level.
