Industrial doctoral programme in Civil and Geo-Environmental Engineering

is a strategy of the Catalan government for contributing—in collaboration with public and private universities in Catalonia—to the competitiveness and internationalisation of the Catalan industrial sector, retaining talent and providing doctoral students with the conditions in which they can carry out research, development and innovation projects.

The overall objective of the industrial doctoral programme in Civil and Geo-Environmental Engineering
is to provide education in the development of new civil and geo-environmental engineering techniques driven by the needs of industry from an international perspective. The specific objectives of the programme are the following:

For students to gain advanced, highly specialised knowledge in the field of civil and geo-environmental engineering.
To provide students with advanced education in research techniques in accordance with the principles of the scientific community.

To produce doctoral theses that make a scientific contribution to the area of specialisation and that is relevant to the field of civil and geo-environmental engineering.

What does an industrial doctorate project involve ? finestra nova

To disseminate, trough all types of publications, the work carried out.
To develop techniques that enable projects, decision making and the execution of civil works to continuously improve.
To produce doctoral degree holders in engineering which can join industry as top-level managers.
To produce doctoral degree holders who will be able to contribute scientifically to their field in the immediate future and acquire and recycle skills on a continuous basis so as to remain at the forefront in terms of international recognition.
