AIT's PhD Program in collaboration with Aalborg
University
Athens Information Technology proudly announces the
recent establishment of a collaborative program that gives
gifted students with a
strong will to perform academic research the opportunity to
pursue a PhD degree with Aalborg University (AAU) in
Denmark (http://en.aau.dk/).
Following a modern approach to teaching and research,
Aalborg University's
key features are interdisciplinarity, cooperation with the
industry and internationalization, resulting in study
programs that are organized
around problem-oriented group work. This hands-on approach
to teaching and research, emphasizing relevance,
collaboration and excellence, combined with its long
successful track record in collaborative research in the
field of ICT, makes AAU an ideal partner for AIT in the area
of PhD degrees and has made the launch of this collaboration
possible.
Qualified students with a desire to pursue high-quality
research in any ICT field of interest to both AIT and AAU
may apply for this program. The selected applications will
be judged by the Doctoral School of AAU. Once approved, the
students will acquire the status of Doctoral Student at AAU
and will be supervised by AAU and AIT professors.
Students that enroll successfully on this program will have
to comply with all academic procedures and practices of
Aalborg University, including the acquisition of required
course credits for the PhD degree, but will also enjoy
access to all privileges of AAU doctoral students. The added
value of the program is that doctoral students will be given
the opportunity to benefit from the people, lab
infrastructure, services, research projects and other
activities at both institutions, as well as from their joint
collaboration.
All students that enroll to the program will have their
progress periodically monitored by the supervising
professors and will have to file the requested reports. A
joint faculty committee will also oversee the overall
progress of all enrolled students and will provide any
further administrative or other help needed by the students
in order to guarantee a smooth and efficient PhD work.
Upon successful completion of the required course credits
and research work, as judged by the academic supervisors and
AAU's Doctoral School, the PhD candidates will present their
thesis defense before a PhD Examination Committee at
Aalborg, which will decide on the awarding of the PhD degree
of Aalborg University.
PhD application procedure is as follows:
Deadline for new applications for academic year 2009-2010 is
