General Presentation
The PhD in Industrial Engineering of the Rome "Tor Vergata" University has made multidisciplinary approach and close relationships with national and international companies its distinctive character. The research topics present in the PhD program cover a wide range of applications, including but not limited to industrial design, new materials and technologies, energy and the environment, engineering applications for medicine and sports, sensors, robotics, diagnostics for cultural heritage and management.
Main Objectives
The main goal of the PhD programme is to train graduate students to become “problem solvers”. In order to do so, academic and specialist courses are given, as well as seminars, schools and guided research activities. The duration of this whole set of training activities is 3 years. It is intended to provide the students with quite a few skills in their specific area of interest, such as: theoretical knowledge, experimental abilities, technological expertise, methods for calculus, modelling and simulation. The outcome of the process, is to form proactive professionals able to “tune” their skills with the increasingly complex demands from the market, in search of constant and challenging technological innovations.
Professional Opportunities
Beside the connection with Italian and international Universities and research Institutes, the PhD programme in Industrial Engineering is strongly related to and supported by public and private companies as well. They greatly appreciate the ability to deal with design, production and characterization in the field of technological applications. This is why quite often our PhD students find out career opportunities soon after their PhD final exam and the achievement of their Doctoral Degree.
