Nano and microtechnologies are rapidly growing interdisciplinary fields that deal with a variety of synthetic and naturally occurring materials at the nano and micro dimensions. The large surface area to volume ratio of these materials enables revolutionary advances in almost all areas of research.

The applicant should have a background in physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, or software engineering. The applicant should agree with the supervisor of his/her future thesis prior to submitting his/her application form.

The objective of the proposed PhD programme Industrial Engineering is to prepare university-educated top specialists in research, development and applications in quality management, experiment design, forecasting, implementation of Industry 4.0 (the Fourth Industrial Revolution) principles and comprehensive statistical data analysis, particularly in industrial applications dealing with fibre structures.

The highest level of university education provides deep and systematic knowledge of microeconomics, the methodology of scientific work, quantitative and statistical methods processing empirical data and, foremost, it equips the students with expertise knowledge in business administration and management, which focuses on behaviour and management of enterprises in a global environment in terms of innovation and new tools of corporate finance.

Graduates of this PhD programme are provided with deep knowledge in their specialization, which enables creative and scientific work. They will develop communicative skills and they can clearly express their ideas and opinions. They are familiar with the methodology of processing information.

The doctoral study programme Technologies and Materials is focused on independent scientific and research projects in the field of engineering technology. Its aim is to produce highly-educated and creative graduates capable of taking part in scientific, research, and professional activities in the studied field.

The doctoral study programme Machines and Equipment Design is focused on independent scientific and research projects in the field of the design of machines and equipment. Its aim is to produce highly-educated and creative graduates capable of taking part in scientific, research, and professional activities.

The doctoral study programme, Applied Mechanics, is focused on independent scientific and research projects in the field of mechanics. Its aim is to produce highly-educated and creative graduates capable of taking part in scientific research and professional applications of the laws of mechanics in mechanical engineering.

Applied Sciences in Engineering is a PhD programme focused on the research of problems in the boundary between engineering and natural sciences. The scope of the PhD thesis falls into one or more of the following areas: Computer Simulations, Physics and optics, and Material engineering.

The applicant should have a background in physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, or software engineering. The applicant should agree with the supervisor of his/her future thesis prior to submitting his/her application form.
