The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Engineering programme has been designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge in various fields of specialization to enable them to formulate questions and plan and carry out research in their respective subject areas. The candidates would be able to conduct a high-level research and address complex technical questions and challenge the established knowledge and practices on the respective subjects. The PhD candidates would be capable enough to evaluate the work of others as well, at the same level. The candidates will also evaluate the application of different techniques in the subject areas and shall contribute to the development of new theories, new knowledge and new methods in the respective subject area.
For successful completion of PhD degree in LUC, each candidate should publish minimum of Four research articles in scopus indexed journals, with Lincoln affiliation.
The PhD in Engineering programme in Lincoln University College is designed to prepare a selected number of qualified students for careers in university-level teaching and research and for responsible positions in Government and Private Engineering industries. The primary aims of the programme are:
- To provide students with advanced knowledge in the theory and practice of areas of engineering studies with the concept of research work.
