PhD opportunities in Maths and Computing Sciences

Maths and Computing Sciences are included in Doctoral School at Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland, which is regarded to be the first research university in Poland among universities of technology according to domestic rankings. This programme concerns the following disciplines:

• mathematics
• information and communication technology
• automation, electronics, electrical engineering and space technologies
• biomedical engineering

These disciplines cover the following research areas: AI & machine Learning; applied mathematics; bioinformatics; computer science & IT; data analysis; information science; mathematics; software engineering; statistics and within biomedical engineering several areas which are linked to software and/or electronic devices development.

The PhD programme is aimed at teaching doctoral students innovative and novel techniques, methodologies and implementations focused on engineering aspects related to the chosen discipline. It covers a wide spectrum of topics and includes obligatory and facultative courses as well as lectures conducted by visiting professors from related research areas. The programme provides the doctoral students with the required background, allowing them to develop their own ideas and concepts, as well as creative problem solving skills. The individual contact with a supervisor and participation in the research conducted under his/her leadership is one of the most important elements of education. The graduates of the PhD programme have the knowledge and skills in the field of engineering within the chosen discipline. They are qualified either to enter an industry as unit leaders or to continue their research in academia.

Concerning new discipline Biomedical engineering it is an interdisciplinary science covering some aspects of modern chemistry, molecular biology and pharmacy, including designing and synthesis of new pharmaceutics, developing new methods and techniques for the detection of a broad spectrum of diseases. However, it also concerns computational sciences and include electronic devices development and software application.

Education is conducted in English and lasts four years. All PhD students at our School receive regular fellowships (around 3200 - 5200 PLN per month) and additionally may apply after admission for the second one granted individually from university (around 2500 PLN per month).
