Doctoral Studies PhD
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program is designed for students with a master’s degree in engineering or exact sciences who have demonstrated outstanding academic and research achievements. Each candidate’s qualifications will be reviewed individually.
Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the general requirements of the Technion Graduate School, applicants must demonstrate the ability to conduct independent research. The interdisciplinary committee will review each candidate’s application and reach decisions regarding their acceptance and specific conditions.
Applicants must secure a research supervisor prior to submitting their application. In special cases, such as international candidates, the interdisciplinary committee coordinator can assist in finding a supervisor.
Program Requirements
Doctoral students must:
- Fulfill any special conditions set by the interdisciplinary committee (if applicable).
- Complete at least 8 advanced course credits.
- Submit a research proposal and defend it before the evaluation committee.
- Deliver a seminar presentation, which will be publicly announced in the Technion’s bulletin.
- Submit an essay on the proposed research and defend it before the evaluation committee.
Direct PhD Track
Outstanding students who have begun a master’s program with a thesis and who excel in both their classes and research may transfer to the direct PhD track, subject to the recommendation of the interdisciplinary committee. These students must complete at least 8 advanced course credits in addition to their master’s requirements.
Special PhD Track
This track is designed for exceptional students (“summa cum laude“) who wish to pursue a PhD immediately after completing their bachelor’s degree. Additional admission criteria and study procedures are detailed in the Graduate School catalog (Sections 32.05 and 34.02 of the regulations).
