Important Information
According to our graduate program regulation, the courses in the stricto sensu Graduate Program of Academic Master’s degree and Doctorate encompass a set of disciplines constituted of:
- Basic Disciplines
- Specific Disciplines
- Complementary Disciplines
- Seminars
The goal is to offer scientific and technological training to graduate students seeking to prepare them to develop their studies and researches of excellence in the scope of the research lines in the Program.
In order to achieve the title of Master, students must complete and be approved to a total of 24 credits in disciplines – including the discipline of Seminars1 in Mechanical Sciences, a discipline available at the Basic Training Center and two disciplines at the Specific Training Center – in addition to the approval of their Master’s thesis. Credits are not attributed to the Master’s degree thesis.
In order to achieve the title of Doctor, students must complete and be approved to a total of 32 credits in disciplines – including the discipline of Seminars 2 in Mechanical Sciences, a discipline at the Basic Training Center and three disciplines at the Specific Training Center – in addition to the approval of their Qualification Exam until the 24th month from the entering as regular student along with the approval of their Doctorate dissertation. Credits are not attributed to the Qualification Exam or Doctoral Dissertation.
The disciplines of the curricular grid of the Graduate Program in Mechanical Sciences are listed in the tables below:
Master’s Program
To obtain the Master’s degree, students must complete a total of 24 credits in coursework, including:
- Seminars I in Mechanical Sciences
- One course from the Basic Core
- Two courses from the Specific Core
- Participation in a major conference relevant to the student’s research area, including the publication of a full paper in the conference proceedings
In addition, students must successfully defend their Master’s dissertation. No academic credits are assigned to the dissertation itself.
Doctoral Program
To obtain the Doctoral degree, students must complete, with approval, a total of 32 credits in coursework, including:
- Seminars II in Mechanical Sciences
- One course from the Basic Core
- Three courses from the Specific Core
- Successfully pass the qualifying examination by the 24th month of the program
- Publish a full paper in a high-impact, internationally recognized journal in their field of research
The Doctoral Program is designed to provide advanced training grounded in excellence in knowledge production through scientific and technological research, fostering innovative and sustainable solutions at the forefront of Mechanical Sciences, aligned with societal needs and major global challenges.
