Doctoral Programme of Computing and Electrical Engineering, 240 cr

Upon completion of a doctorate in the Doctoral Programme of Computing and Electrical Engineering, doctoral graduates will be fully conversant with their own field of research and the related developments, basic problems and research methods, and have the ability to generate new scientific knowledge independently.

It contributes to the achievement of these objectives, that the doctoral graduates will:

• understand the multidimensional nature of scientific knowledge

• adhere to the ethical principles or research and good research practice and promote open access to scientific knowledge

• have the knowledge and skills to independently plan, develop and implement collaborative activities and projects in multilingual and multicultural settings

• be familiar with research funding opportunities and have the ability to generate funding

• be well versed in the conventions of scientific discourse and communication and possess social interaction and networking skills that are required in different operating environments

• have the ability to enhance the societal impact of research

• be able to advance their careers across a broad range of employment sectors

The Doctoral Programme of Computing and Electrical Engineering trains professionals with research expertise and a broad set of skills. It prepares them to address not only the great challenges facing humanity but also everyday problems in a globally connected and multidisciplinary research environment. The Doctoral Programme of Computing and Electrical Engineering will provide students with excellent theoretical knowledge and technological skills and empower them to pursue a career in research or technology development or take on specialist roles in a variety of organisations. With data, computing, data communications, electronics and automation systems that rely on electricity woven into the fabric of everyday life, there is considerable demand worldwide for professionals with broad knowledge of these technologies. Researchers at Tampere University carry out world-class research in the fields covered by the doctoral programme and develop ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary solutions for building the digital society of tomorrow. An in-depth understanding of not only the digital operating environment but also energy and ecological efficiency are the keys to addressing some of the greatest challenges of our time, such as globalisation, climate change and urbanisation.   The need to make smarter use of limited resources is continuously creating new and exciting challenges in our fields of research.  

We will be encouraging our students to seek research collaboration within the University as well as nationally and internationally.
