The PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics supports independent research under supervision across mechanical engineering sciences. Research areas cover fields including material sciences (metal & polymer), fluid mechanics and fluid machinery, energy engineering, building engineering, process engineering, design & manufacturing technology, mechatronics, optics, engineering informatics, and applied mechanics.
The program lasts 8 semesters. Students complete advanced courses and improve presentation skills through guided teaching and participation in international conferences. Research includes supervised work, publication in peer reviewed international journals, presentation of results at international conferences, and a comprehensive examination with midterm evaluation before entering the second half of training. The degree is awarded based on published results and a thesis defense with a public thesis defence.
