PhD Program in Civil Engineering

Please take note of the following:

1. Two months after enrolling in the PhD program, students must submit the "Ficha dos alunos de Doutoramento em Engenharia Civil" and all the documents indicated therein.

2. Each year, at the beginning of july, students must submit the "Ficha de síntese do relatório anual" and all the documents indicated therein.

3. Students enrolled before 2019/20 can stay in their course plan (240 credits, 4 years) until completing four years, after which they will be automatically transferred to the new plan (180 credits, 3 years). Nevertheless, students can be readily transferred to the new plan by submitting a letter of request to the course coordinator, signed by the student and all supervisors.

4. One scholarship will be awarded in 2021, to cover the tuition fee. The rules are provided in a document that can be downloaded below. Since the scholarship was not awarded in the first phase, applications to the second phase are now accepted until 15/12/2021.  

The EDIFICE PhD meeting will take yearly in October-November. Please visit https://eventos.fct.unl.pt/edifice/pages/home
