The 1st application and evaluation period for Doctoral Programmes (3rd cycle) at Instituto Superior Técnico will take place between June 16 and July 20, 2025. Among the programmes offered are the PhDs in Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) and Aerospace Engineering (DEAer).

Applications to doctoral programmes are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the academic year and must be submitted exclusively online. However, they will only be evaluated during the defined application periods.

During the PhD programme, students actively participate in national and international research projects and are encouraged to patent innovative results and develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

Técnico’s doctoral programmes are offered in collaboration with national and international universities, and in some cases, lead to a dual degree.

In 2024, Técnico launched its new Doctoral School, which places increasing emphasis on internships in companies and training in transversal skills such as artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and science communication.

With the digitalization of 3rd cycle processes, the next application process for Doctoral Programmes at Técnico’s Doctoral School will, for the first time, take place via the Connect platform. Instructions for registration and identity verification are available on the portal. Questions or requests for clarification should be directed to the Postgraduate Area.
