Phd Program in Information Engineering
Aims:
The Ph.D. course aims to train researchers capable of carrying out high-quality research work related to Information Engineering in academic and non academic research institutions as well as in industrial research & development centers.
The course consists of four curricula:
- Control, Optimization and Complex Systems
- Electronics, Electromagnetics and Electrical Systems
- Computer Engineering
- Telecommunications and Telematics
Biomedical Engineering is anorther subject represented inside the aformentioned curricula. These curricula cover all the main areas of Information Engineering.
Learning outcomes:
Students will achieve the Ph.D. title after demonstrating :
1. Knowledge and understanding
A systematic understanding in the curricula selected by the student among the four present in the course, and mastery of the skills and methods of research associated with that field.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
The ability to conceive, design, implement and adapt a
substantial process of research in the field with scholarly integrity.
3. Making judgements
The capacity of contributing through original research that extends the frontier of knowledge by developing a substantial body of work, some of which merits national or international refereed publication; the capacity of critical analysis, evaluation and synthesis of new and complex ideas.
4. Communication Skills
The capacity of communicating with their peers, the larger scholarly community and with society in general about the areas of expertise the students work in.
5. Learning skills
The capacity of developing those learning skills that are necessary for them to continue to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.
Courses
You must hold a MSc degree or equivalent (at least 5 years of university studies). You may apply before graduation but you must obtain your degree before October 31th of the current year. You also must be able to use English in a professional context (a CEFR B2 level is sufficient). Please consult the Procedures on this site.
Are there scholarships available?
There are scholarships provided by University of Florence and possibly additional scholarships funded by external companies or research institutions. Scholarships can be increased by 50% during periods spent abroad for study and research. All scholarships cover the full PhD program.
The duration of the program is three years.The program can be temporarily suspended and subsequently resumed under special justified circumstances.
As an applicant, you will be evaluated in a competitive way by a designated committee on the basis of your past academic achievement, as well as on the basis of your knowledge of disciplines directly relevant to the program, your aptitude to research, and your investigative skills. The selection process requires the submission of a research project and a formal interview before the committee.
Can I simultaneously submit applications for other PhD programs?
Yes. However, in case you are selected for two or more programs, you must submit your enrollment choice before the program starts. Also, if you are not immediately selected but ranked close to the top of the list, you may be still admitted, should other candidates ranked above you decide to enroll in another program
