Doctoral School of Information and Communication Engineering

Programme Description

The highest technical and scientific educational level of information and communication engineering is achieved by graduates of the Doctoral School of Information and Communications Engineering. The curriculum comprises an abundance of special fields, such as microelectronics, communications engineering, signal processing and systems theory, measurement technology and sensing, computer engineering, language and audio communication, acoustics, telematics and control and automation engineering.

The Doctoral School of Information and Communication Engineering prepares graduates for leadership activities and to deliver technical and scientific peak performances in global competition.

The aim of the Engineering Sciences doctoral program at Graz University of Technology
is, beyond the pre-professional education and training, to acquire the ability to do
consolidated, independent scientific work in the technical fields of competence of Graz
University of Technology. Students who accomplish this objective are awarded the academic degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences (Dr. techn.).

Qualification Profile:

A Doctor of Engineering Sciences of Graz University of Technology has consolidated and
perfected the ability to formulate engineering and scientific questions abstractly and to
develop research-based analyses and problem-solving approaches, and is capable of doing independent scientific work on a high level.

She/he is capable of carrying out team work in the field of engineering and scientific research in both the university and industrial sectors, as well as to assume a coordinating and leading function.

She/he has a broad basis as well as a consolidated specialisation and can thus broaden and innovatively apply scientific knowledge in different fields of application.
