Overview
Programme description:
Speciality of this PhD programme is the strong relationship with natural resources. Due to the variety of coordinated study programmes (engineering, wood science, informatics, applied arts, industrial design, management), this doctoral school is characterized by multi- and interdisciplinarity. As a result, a wide range of research topics are available for enrolled students including wood science and technology, wood constructions, pulp and fibre technology, nanotechnology, wooden architecture, light industry, wood processing related IT, natural resources based product development, marketing, management. During the 4-year programme, students complete courses and conduct researches obtaining a minimum of 240 credits. PhD students receive extensive theoretical, methodological and scientific knowledge enabling their research to have real impact. The experimental activities are strongly supported by a modern and well equipped research infrastructure. At the end of the 4th semester, PhD candidates will take a complex exam presenting the acquired knowledge and proving the progress in their research. PhD thesis must be submitted within five years from the beginning of the study.
Entry requirements:
The MSc degree and the proposed research plan must fit to the competences of the doctoral school.

Programme structure
The PhD School has the following study programmes:
P1 Wood Sciences
P2 Wood Processing Technologies and Creative Design
P3 Wooden Constructions
P4 Fibre- and Nanotechnologies
P5 Informatics in Material Sciences
P6 Management in Wood Industry
The most important components of the doctoral programme are the research activity topics the doctoral school announces. Research activities are evaluated in two ways, both with corresponding credit values. The first is the fulfilment of individual scientific research; the second is through publication.
Doctoral students can also earn credit points by undertaking teaching duties.
With the consent of their doctoral supervisor, doctoral students can publish their research results if they have continuously fulfilled their duties according to the study and research plan.
