Telematics and Logistics

The aim of the doctoral study programme is to prepare Doctors of Sciences, researchers and specialists of the highest qualification in the Telematics and Logistics sub-field, providing the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for the independent scientific research work and pedagogical work

Competences (learning outcomes) acquired as a result of studying at the doctoral programme:

• perform the independent critical analysis, synthesis and evaluation, be able to solve significant research or innovation tasks in Engineering and interdisciplinary fields;
• be able to propose independently a research idea, plan, structure and manage large-scale scientific projects in Engineering and interdisciplinary fields, including the international ones;
• be able to demonstrate comprehension and understanding of the most up-to-date Engineering theories and scientific knowledge, and be proficient in modern research methods and methodologies appropriate to the sciences;
• be able to analyse the results independently and draw appropriate conclusions from them;
• be able to plan the research independently, to manage the research or development tasks in organisations where extensive research knowledge and skills are required;
• be able to evaluate analytically and critically the research material, integrate theoretical knowledge into the research process, reveal the problems, generate and develop new ideas;
• be able to improve independently the own scientific qualifications;
• be able to communicate independently in writing, demonstrating comprehension of the existing knowledge and its application in practice, including the preparation and publication of internationally cited scientific articles and publications

The degree of Doctor of Science is awarded for an independently developed and publicly defended doctoral thesis of great theoretical significance and a perspective of practical application, containing original results of scientific research and providing new insights in the sub-field of telematics and logistics.

Doctoral students have the opportunity:

• to choose one of the doctoral research topics, thus becoming involved in TTI research projects and gaining the opportunity to learn scientific work competencies under the guidance of the TTI researchers;
• to propose your research topic, taking into account the research interests and the challenges and tasks of the current career, which is an industrial approach to doctoral study;
• to carry out research under the guidance of experienced scientific supervisors and faculty members who are experts with experience in large international projects;
• to use a modern research support environment – state-of-the-art laboratories, e-library, research advisors.
