PhD Study Programmes

Wide professional horizon and research 

Doctoral study programs at the third level at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering are inseparably linked with scientific research and development work, enabling students to conduct independent research with a wide professional perspective, in-depth methodological knowledge, and the development of career paths in science. 

The main focus of the program is on independent research work within program and research groups, supported by a mentor, allowing students to plan their research career early and to anticipate future market needs. Research work is carried out in 27 research laboratories that implement programs and projects funded by the ministries and agencies of the Republic of Slovenia, collaborate with Slovenian and foreign industries, and are involved in projects of European Community programs. 

During their studies, students are expected to actively participate in scientific and professional workshops and conferences, both nationally and internationally. This allows them to develop skills in scientific communication, critically evaluate their own research results and those of others, and knowledge transfer. For the doctoral dissertation, students must demonstrate original contributions to science in addition to their research skills, which is usually evidenced by publishing at least one article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal with an impact factor.
