About this programme

Two doctoral degrees in engineering are offered within the department: the Doctor of Engineering science (Eng.Sc.D.), administered by The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), administered by the Graduate School of Arts and Science. The Eng.Sc.D. and Ph.D. programs have nearly identical academic requirements with regard to courses, qualifying examinations, and the dissertation, but differ in residence requirements and in certain administrative details. A student must obtain the master's degree (M.S.) before enrolling as a candidate for either the Ph.D. or Eng.Sc.D. degree.
