PhD Program in Civil Engineering
The AGÜ Civil Engineering PhD program is designed for candidates with a master's degree from various disciplines. Its primary aim is to elevate students to an expert level in the field of Civil Engineering and enhance their academic competencies. The program includes the development of interdisciplinary expertise and an education approach based on research, investigation, and application. This PhD program aims to educate researchers in this field by creating new, active research/work areas that bridge applied/social sciences and civil engineering, thereby producing and advancing engineering knowledge.
The program aims to utilize the engineering knowledge it produces for societal benefit. In alignment with AGÜ's mission and vision, collaboration with public and civil society organizations as well as relevant sectors is emphasized. The program aims to provide doctoral education to train qualified civil engineers who can integrate the life cycle approach into scientific research processes. These individuals are expected to contribute to high-quality scientific understandings to overcome the challenges of the green transformation.
The Civil Engineering PhD program, which places special emphasis on green transformation within the research topics and areas of civil engineering, aims to meet the demand for qualified human resources. Thus, it encompasses not only meeting the needs of research-focused sectoral organizations in fields such as construction but also the demands of higher education institutions involved in relevant education and research activities.
