The Doctorate in Computer Sciences seeks to form a graduate student with an excellence level in Research, Development and Innovatio.

Academic Structure:

The Doctorate in Computer Sciences is custom-made (or non-structured). This course lasts a minimum of two years and a maximum of 6.

Curriculum:

The course includes:

  • A series of Postgraduate Subjects which are considered valid for the Doctorate in Computer Sciences by the HCD of the School of Computer Sciences. One of the courses should provide general training and the student must reach a minimum of 45 credits.
  • A research internship of a minimum of 6 months in a Research and Development Lab, Center or Institute of the School of Computer Sciences or in an equivalent acknowledged R&D Institution. This Internship must be certified by the Director of the Lab, Center or Institute.
  • A Thesis that constitute an original contribution that should be complemented by at least 2 (two) publications of his/her authorship or co-authorship on the same topic in International Congresses or international reviewed journals.
