Level
The PhD program at the Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and Engineering is the most advanced level of academic study. It is designed for students who wish to deepen their knowledge in a chosen subfield through independent research, aiming to make significant contributions to their field. The school offers a wide range of research topics, supported by world-renowned researchers, providing diverse opportunities for PhD theses in Computer Science, Bio-medical Engineering, and related areas. The program involves choosing a PhD advisor and a research field. A significant portion of the study focuses on identifying research questions and exploring theoretical and practical answers under the advisor's guidance. Students are also required to complete 12 units of advanced courses to enhance research preparation and broaden knowledge in relevant fields. Opportunities exist for students to be employed as research assistants, receiving a fellowship and gaining a different perspective on academia. A research committee monitors student progress, approving the research plan and meeting at least once more during the program. The program culminates in the submission of a thesis, written to professional literature standards, summarizing the research. The school emphasizes the quality of theses, many of which have led to scientific breakthroughs. Graduates typically pursue careers in scientific research at universities or in industry.
