The PhD program aims to train highly skilled professionals with a technical-scientific profile in both basic and applied research topics of interest for Engineering.
The program is designed to provide training that promotes the development of highly specialized technical-scientific skills, while also stimulating an attitude towards scientific research and the continuous improvement of knowledge in various engineering fields.
Through a balanced mix of various educational tools (courses and seminars offered both on-site and at other institutions, international mobility, research using advanced investigation tools, participation in joint activities with researchers from other locations, and discussions with faculty members), the goal is to train researchers capable of independently setting up and managing technological innovation processes, not rigidly confined to narrow scientific domains.
The competencies acquired allow PhD graduates to be employed in various professional fields, ranging from basic and applied research to entrepreneurship, project management, marketing, management of business production processes, and reaching senior positions both in academia and industry.
The differentiation of educational paths is achieved through the establishment of distinct curricula, each designed to meet specific objectives:
C1: Civil and Environmental Engineering
This curriculum aims to provide third-level training on topics related to land planning and management, soil protection, design and construction of buildings in seismic zones, construction of special buildings, energy efficiency improvement, prevention of environmental pollution and its effects on living organisms, and the improvement of waste and urban and industrial wastewater disposal techniques.
C2: Information Engineering
This curriculum aims to promote and manage the continuous technological innovation characterizing the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector and enable society to adapt to the rapid changes in information technology. It provides a solid specialized preparation to complement the foundational training obtained during previous academic studies. Other objectives include optimizing the management of infrastructure and telecommunications protocols, robotics and industrial automation, electromagnetic compatibility and disturbance prevention, automation of electrical and electronic measurements, management of IoT technologies, and the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.
C3: Electrical Engineering
The primary educational objective of this curriculum is to develop advanced design, analysis, and management skills in systems, technologies, and methodologies within electrical engineering. In particular, the PhD student will acquire in-depth knowledge in research, analysis methodologies, experimental characterization, control and design of electrical machines and drives, electric traction (both on-road and on guide systems), as well as in the management of sustainable energy systems and the design of power electronics systems.
C4: Mechanical and Management Engineering
This curriculum aims to provide strong preparation in mechanical design and energy and environmental management. The PhD student will be able to work in various areas of mechanical design, planning, control and automation of the production process, robotics, industrial automation, management of environmental issues and energy usage, technical-commercial fields, maintenance of plants and machinery, and measurement and certification laboratory activities.
C5: Environments and Technologies for Physical Activity and Health
This curriculum aims to provide the PhD student with knowledge and skills useful for the design and implementation of technological and methodological innovations in physical and sports activities for individuals of various ages, including those with congenital or acquired physical and psychological conditions, chronic courses, and impact on social participation ability, across different life and work contexts. This includes improving the understanding of biochemical, physiological, and pathophysiological mechanisms of the main multifactorial diseases, aimed at promoting and maintaining health conditions and preventing organic and psychological complications. Particular attention is focused on the creation of electrical and electronic devices that analyze data from movement, influenced by postural defects, metabolic syndromes, and chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Admission Requirements
The admission exam consists of two parts: a pre-selection and an oral exam. The pre-selection is based on the evaluation of the following elements:
- Curriculum vitae;
- Any publications (up to a maximum of five);
- Any other scientific qualifications (documents considered useful for evaluating the curriculum, including, as a mandatory requirement, proper certification of grades obtained in all exams during the entire university course, including the grade of the final thesis for both first and second-level degrees or the equivalent old system degree exam or equivalent titles for foreign candidates);
- Research project;
- Letters of recommendation (from 2 to 4 letters).
The oral exam aims to assess the candidate’s suitability for research activities in one of the disciplinary areas related to the PhD program, as well as their knowledge of the English language. The oral exam can be conducted remotely, upon the candidate's request, with adequate justification, including if the candidate resides in a foreign country. The chosen method must be indicated in the application for the competition. The oral exam can also be conducted in English, provided an explicit request is made when submitting the application. Candidates must include a valid email address in the application, where they will receive communications regarding the results of the document evaluation and, for those opting for the remote oral exam, information about the details of the oral exam process.
All information about the selection process is available in the section of the university website dedicated to admission notices.
