Engineering Doctorate (Eng.D)
Our Engineering Doctorate (Eng.Doc) programme is aimed at developing individuals who are able to conduct research at doctoral level by tackling real-life industrial problems and implement innovative solutions in which significantly contribute to the business performance of their companies.
INTRODUCTION
Engineering Doctorate (Eng.Doc) is a mixed mode doctoral programme that embed the industrially-focused area into research with an aim of solving real-life-work-based problems. It combines research in engineering which incorporates training in business with management skills into developing innovative solutions to technological products or processes.
The Eng.Doc graduates will have equivalent doctoral-level qualification with more industrially-based focused than the conventional Doctor of Philosophy. Research which aimed in solving real problems are able to make decisions inclusive of technical knowledge, business management and opportunity and contribute to innovative solutions
