Doctoral studies in TTI. Objectives

On February 12, 2003

• TTI Doctoral Degree Programme "Telematics and Logistics" (5152)

Only graduates holding a master's degree or equivalent higher education diploma may take up doctoral studies. These last three to four years, involving advanced studies, examinations and the preparation and defence of a doctoral thesis. Before defending the doctoral dissertation, the student must publish articles on the chosen subject in internationally reviewed publications.

Up to the end of 1999, habilitated doctor's degrees were also awarded at a higher level than the doctoral degree. Such a degree was required by candidates to professorships, but now the doctoral degree is the highest scientific degree in Latvia.

The procedure for award of doctoral degrees is determined by the Latvian Council of Science, which also appoints the Promotion Boards that are entitled to award doctoral degrees.
