The main objectives of the PhD Programme aim at providing comprehensive third-level education, both in terms of academic activities and those more oriented toward technology transfer.
Specifically, over the three years of doctoral training, the goal is to develop highly sought-after professionals in both the national and international landscape, in academia as well as in industry. Upon obtaining the PhD in Information Engineering, graduates will be highly specialized in two key areas:
•    Technological, relating to the knowledge and ability to design modern systems in the field of information technologies;
•    Methodological, concerning the ability to process experimentally collected data and validate proposed models.
Both of these aspects are highly relevant in today’s job market. While technological innovation and the development of application-oriented solutions are of significant interest, the methodological skills also have important implications in interdisciplinary fields. This enhances and professionalizes the role of the PhD in Information Engineering, making them a key figure in research and innovation within national and international companies.
The educational and research PhD Programme in Information Engineering at UNIBS is a high-level academic pathway designed to provide advanced and specialized training in the field of information engineering. The PhD Programme offers a natural development opportunity for students who have successfully completed master’s degrees related to computer, electronic/automation, or telecommunications engineering, as well as in physics, biomedical sciences, and applied physical, chemical, and mathematical sciences. Through this Programme students can deepen their knowledge and skills in specific areas of information engineering, while refining their research and analytical capabilities.

The PhD Programme is organized into four curricula:
