Duration
The duration of the course, including the Dissertation Defense, is 24 months (4 semesters),
starting from the initial enrollment.
The curriculum of the Doctorate course dialogues with the Master's. A flexible and open
curricular organization is conceived to welcome research interests linked to the Program
Lines. Thus, the structure emerges from the work that has been developed, in articulation
with the Lines and research projects. The proposal aims to strengthen research and high-
level intellectual training, offering opportunities to deepen studies in Engineering.
The student of the Doctorate in Engineering of Processes and Technologies must complete,
within 48 months, 56 credits (1 credit = 15 hours), distributed as follows:
- Mandatory Disciplines - 12 credits
- Elective Disciplines - 24 credits
- Elaboration of the Thesis - 20 credits
The advisor will recommend the appropriate mandatory and elective disciplines for the
doctoral student's training. In addition to completing the credits, to be able to defend the
thesis and obtain the title of Doctor, the student must prove, to the Program Collegiate,
proficiency in two foreign languages: English (mandatory) and a second foreign language to
be indicated by their advisor.
