The qualification is determined on the basis of a scientifically significant written work (dissertation) and a scientific presentation with oral examination (disputation). The doctoral procedure consists of

• the admission to the doctoral procedure,
• the admission to the doctoral examination,
• the doctoral examination procedure and
• of the exam.

The Faculty of Engineering explicitly welcomes the publication of scientific results of the doctoral students it supervises, even if they report from the current doctoral thesis.
