The Doctor of Information Systems (D.Sc) objective is to prepare students for research or teaching positions in the academic community so that they can conduct or contribute to research in their chosen areas of study.

The research thesis of this PhD programme should provide a basis for understanding, implementation and rational decision making on contemporary networking technologies. Analyze contemporary terminology, concepts, technologies and devices used in the Internet industry. It should develop both intentional and accidental threats and threats to computer mainframe systems and networks. It should also show how to detect and prevent these threats and how to minimise potential losses caused by fraud and/or human error.

The study in PhD in Systems Engineering and Informatics consists of the study part ending with the final state exam and the research part focuses on the dissertation thesis and its defence. The credit system is applied for the evaluation of the study. This system is in line with the European ECTS system, allowing for the exchange of mobilities of students between universities in Europe.

The study program educates students to solve bioengineering problems in fields of production, development and testing of new bio-materials that are designed and manufactured for interaction with biological systems. The aim of the study is to provide with a deep understanding of the professional issues, which will enable students in practice to utilize the knowledge and skills obtained, including the ethical context of modern bioengineering practices.

The aim of doctoral studies in Informatics is to educate scientists capable to develop and creatively apply the methods of information technology for creation and analysis of the mathematical models of real-world objects and systems aiming to find solutions to important scientific and practical problems.

The branch of knowledge of this course in PhD in Informatics Engineering is precisely Informatics Engineering. Through its PhD program in computer science, UAlg intends to affirm its presence in this scientific field. There is a bachelor's and a master's degree in Informatics Engineering in the Institution, already with some parchments.

The doctoral program in Information and Communication in Digital Platforms, started in the academic year 2008/2009, aims to enable students to enhance knowledge at a doctoral level in the area of Communication and information Sciences on scenarios of technological mediation, and also provide skill development and training as independent researchers. The doctoral program is a strategic partnership on research between the UNiversities of Aveiro and Porto following the creation, in 2007, of the joint research unit DIGIMEDIA

The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences is a diverse faculty with 13 departments that is supported by more than 20 centres and institutes. More than 5 000 students register in this faculty annually of which 70% are undergraduate and 30% postgraduate students.

The number of articles that have to be submitted to an accredited journal(s) on submission of a doctoral thesis should be a minimum of two. Departments may, however, require a higher number, as specified in their postgraduate brochures or departmental websites. At the latest, just before the department submits the final result of a thesis to the Dean, a student should submit proof of submission of articles issued by an accredited journal(s), to the head of the relevant department, for his/her recommendation to the Dean. The submitted articles should be based on the research that the student has conducted for the thesis and should have been approved by the supervisor. The affiliations of both the student and supervisor should be listed as the University of Pretoria.

Research students have the opportunity to present their research work at regional and global conferences. In addition, they get the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on numerous publications in top academic journals. The research students in the PhD programme are exposed to classroom teaching opportunities to prepare them for an academic career.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program in Information Systems (IS) is a research-oriented degree that aims to prepare students for a research and teaching career in universities, research institutes, governmental or business organizations. The program has a technology management perspective with a focus on economic modelling and behavioral research into the management, design, use, and socio-economic impact of information technology on individuals, organizations, and societies.

The PhD INF program prepares graduate students to work in the transformative "fourth paradigm" of science and engineering, an interdisciplinary field relying on Big Data and advanced software, hardware, and statistics skills.

Liberty University’s Doctor of Business Administration – Information Systems online program equips you as a business professional.

The PhD. in IT Business research methods is actually a program that has been designed to train students for different publications, designs, and procedures related to research spanning across a broad range of departments in business-related studies.
