The doctoral study in the Mining and Mining Geomechanics programme is designed for graduates of the master’s degree programme in Mining of Mineral Resources. This degree programme is designed to provide students with the opportunity to prove successful in various academic and research institutions, as well as in companies and public institutions engaged in the creation and development of applications covering relevant procedures and technologies used to support the work activities of these entities in practice.

PhD in Geotechnics and Underground Engineering The study is focused on the field of behaviour of geomaterials, geomechanics, technology of realization of geotechnical, underground and mining constructions corresponding to the development of digitization and stratification of engineering constructions (including BIM technology), behaviour of geotechnical and underground constructions subjected to extraordinary loads, development of methods of modelling of various types of geotechnical constructions, environmental geotechnics and the problems of energy geotechnics associated with geothermal energy.

PhD in Civil Engineering Doctoral study is based on research in civil engineering. Students are working in one of the areas: concrete and concrete structures, steel structures, reliability and durability of structures, transport structures building environment, and urban planning.

The graduates in the branch of Building Engineering acquire thorough professional and theoretical knowledge according to their orientation in the field of the design and theory of building structures, reliability, durability, rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings, material engineering, building physics, acoustics and lighting, numerical analysis of building structures and their parts, health safety of buildings, fire safety of buildings, multi-criterion assessment of buildings with respect to sustainable development, recycling, evaluation of energy performance of buildings, specific problems of conservation and revitalization of listed buildings, design of intelligent building systems, building microclimate, inside environment technology, progressive technologies of building implementation, in the field of protection of buildings against increased moisture, degradation and biodegradation processes, probability theory and statistics and applied computer science.
