History
The AGU PhD studies in Civil Engineering are designed for candidates holding a master’s degree from diverse disciplines. The primary objective is to elevate students to an expert level and cultivate academic proficiency in Civil Engineering. This involves fostering interdisciplinary expertise and an educational approach rooted in research, examination, and application. The program seeks to nurture researchers in the field, generating and advancing engineering knowledge by establishing new, active research/study areas that bridge applied/social sciences and civil engineering.
The program is committed to leveraging the engineering knowledge it produces for societal benefit. This involves collaboration with governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as related sectors, aligning with AGU’s mission and vision. The AGU PhD studies in Civil Engineering aspire to educate PhD-qualified civil engineers capable of integrating a life cycle approach into scientific research processes. These individuals are expected to contribute high-quality scientific insights to address the challenges of green transition.
With a specific emphasis on the green transition within research subjects and fields of civil engineering, the AGU Civil Engineering PhD Program aims to address the demand for qualified human resources. This encompasses addressing the requirements of research-oriented sectoral organizations in pertinent fields like construction, as well as meeting the demands of higher educati
