The object of the Doctoral School of Mathematics and Scientific Computing jointly organised by Karl-Franzens-University and Graz University of Technology in the framework of NAWI Graz is to train doctoral students at a postgraduate level in the sub-disciplines of mathematics taught at Graz and to prepare them for scientific occupations in these fields.
The doctoral programme imparts the ability to independently carry out basic and applied research in mathematics and neighbouring areas. Basic elements of the doctoral programme, on the one hand, are the introductory and advanced seminars which are organised by both universities, and on the other hand, the advanced courses.
The aim of the Engineering Sciences doctoral program at Graz University of Technology is, beyond the pre-professional education and training, to acquire the ability to do consolidated, independent scientific work in the technical fields of competence of Graz University of Technology. Students who accomplish this objective are awarded the academic degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences (Dr. techn.).
Qualification Profile:
A Doctor of Engineering Sciences of Graz University of Technology has consolidated and perfected the ability to formulate engineering and scientific questions abstractly and to develop research-based analyses and problem-solving approaches, and is capable of doing independent scientific work on a high level.
She/he is capable of carrying out team work in the field of engineering and scientific research in both the university and industrial sectors, as well as to assume a coordinating and leading function.
She/he has a broad basis as well as a consolidated specialisation and can thus broaden and innovatively apply scientific knowledge in different fields of application.

Requirements
Admission to the doctoral programme is effected by the Rector and presupposes not only the general prerequisites but also the university studies law section of the statutes of TU Graz:
- The completion of a relevant engineering or natural sciences diploma or master´s degree at a university, or
- the completion of a different degree course at a recognised Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational establishment which is equivalent to the above-mentioned studies, or
- the completion of a degree course at a recognised Austrian or foreign post-secondary educational establishment together with supplementary curricular requirements.
- In the case that a submitted degree certificate does not fulfil the condition of “equivalence” under item 1 or item 2, admission to the doctoral programme can be combined with an obligation to complete specific or additional courses. Their amount and contents is laid down by the body responsible for studies law in agreement with the co-ordinators of the doctoral school in question.
In the case of admission according to items 1 or 2, the doctoral programme consists of one section of studies lasting three years (regular duration of studies).
In the case of admission according to item 3, the doctoral programme is extended by up to two semesters. In the case that the doctoral student completes the doctoral programme in a time shorter than the regular duration of studies, the body responsible for studies law must give his/ her permission.
Work Experience
No work experience is required.
