Specialisations and Career Opportunities
Specialisations and Career Opportunities
This doctoral programme can be undertaken in one of the following areas of specialisation:
- Construction
- Structures
- Geotechnics
- Hydraulics, Water Resources and Environment
- Construction Materials
- Land Planning and Environment
- Transportation Infrastructure
Alternatively, the study cycle may not be associated with any of these areas, in which case it is simply referred to as a Doctorate in Civil Engineering.
Graduates with a Doctorate in Civil Engineering from the FEUP are prepared to promote scientific development and technological innovation in the field of Civil Engineering, not only in higher education institutions and research laboratories, but also in public institutions and private companies, both in Portugal and abroad. It is important to note that as the construction, public works and transport sectors play an increasingly important role in terms of employment and competitiveness, it is vital that their workforce, especially researchers, are highly qualified so that their productive activities keep pace with the demands of modern society.
