Transport Engineering & Infrastructures
The PhD program in Transport Engineering & Infrastructures deals jointly with knowledge issues related to transport, such as transport infrastructure and engineering, logistics organization and transport systems modeling, as well as urban and regional planning.
The program provides training at the doctoral level in scientific research methodologies for transport infrastructures and technical systems, logistics and urban services in the following fields of competence:
- Network infrastructures planning and design
- Mathematical analysis and numerical modelling of technical systems and their impact on the territory
- Organization and operations in transport systems and logistics
- Urban analysis of planning infrastructure networks with the territory
- Economy, financing and evaluation of the construction of infrastructure networks and the exploitation of their technical systems

Who monitors my work?
The academic committee of the doctoral program is in charge of monitoring the student's work yearly.
When?
- In the month of July. The director and the student will previously receive an email indicating how and when they will have to submit the documentation for the evaluation by the Academic Committee of the program.
When will I know the result?
In September, when the Academic Committee issues the final results, students will receive an email to inform that the records are available at e-Secretaria.
Documents generated by the procedure
- Official academic record
What is it?
A research plan is a document that briefly defines the research activity that will take place and guides the student through the process.
How do I write it?
- Template for all Ph.D. programes in the field of Civil and Environmental Engineering
When will I submit and defend my research plan?
During the 1st academic year, students must submit their research plan.
On the 2nd academic year, the plan is updated, if necessary, and then publicly defended in front of the assessing pannel.
Public defenses are scheduled within two calls:
- in June (for students that have enroled for the first time in September).
- in February (for students that have enroled for the first time in February's extraordinary call).
For specific dates, please contact the secretariat for each program.
What does the public defense entail?
The public defense consists of an oral exposition of the written Research Plan during no more than 20 minutes, followed by a 5-minute time for questioning or commenting on the part of the assessing pannel. The mark will be either "Satisfactory" or "Non satisfactory”. In case of receiving a "Non satisfactory" mark, the Doctoral Commission can offer the student up to 6 months to make the necessary amends.
The assessing pannel will consist of three doctors, two belonging to the Doctoral programme and a third one foreign to the programme. Neither the director of the thesis, nor the supervisor may be part of the pannel.
When?
During the course.
