Doctoral programs at Frederick University are research-based programs offered at School level that provide a framework for state-of-the-art research in the various domains of research interest the particular School is involved with.Their aim is to pursue research and advance knowledge, extending the boundaries of what is known. The programs are central to fulfilling the specific School and the University mission through advancing its research dimension and enabling the establishment of the University in the regional and international scene.

On completion of the program, graduates will have acquired knowledge in high-level scientific research in a wide-range of engineering disciplines and developed the skills and expertise to work in senior positions in academia, or in any relevant research, industrial or business organisation in either the private or public sector. They will have developed attributes essential for a successful career of national and international recognition under professionally challenging conditions in highly competitive work environments.
