Overview

In the graduate school, you get to develop your knowledge in manufacturing techniques and production systems for the automotive and engineering industries. The graduate school is mainly focused on engineering production but also includes other areas such as the process and food industry.

Features

After completing the Product and Production Development graduate school at Chalmers University of Technology, you must be well prepared for continued independent and high-quality academic or industrial research, development and teaching activities in the subject area, both nationally and internationally.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

A doctoral thesis shall be written in English. In exceptional cases it can be written in Swedish; in such cases it shall contain a summary in English.

The purpose of the doctoral thesis is to account for the relevant scientific results that have been attained during the thesis work and describe these in a way that is accessible outside of the scientific inner circle of researchers.

A doctoral thesis can either be written as a compilation thesis or as a monograph. If the doctoral thesis is a compilation thesis it should begin with an introduction, a summarizing text, followed by the included scientific articles.
