Organization of training in the PhD doctoral program.

The PhD doctoral program is a postgraduate professional scientific and educational program that ensures the integration of educational activities and scientific research, which trains a highly qualified specialist with the award of a doctor's qualification according to the profile based on the results of the public defense of the dissertation.

PhD studies are carried out full-time, the use of distance learning technologies is allowed, with a period of study of 3 years, upon successful completion of doctoral studies and the defense of the dissertation, the doctoral student is awarded the academic degree of doctor in the profile (PhD).

The total labor intensity of educational programs is 180 credits, of which 60 credits are allocated for theoretical training, that is, the study of academic disciplines. The complexity of research work is 120 credits, including internships and/or internships for various purposes, as well as all types of certifications, including public defense of a PhD thesis.

The mandatory requirements for the training program are:

- the doctoral student is obliged to publish at least two scientific articles reflecting the scientific results of the dissertation research in scientific publications with a non-zero impact factor indexed by the international systems WEB of Science and Scopus;

- a doctoral student must complete a foreign research internship or internship for a period of one month during his studies.

In the process of teaching doctoral students, an individual curriculum is allowed. The research work (R&D) of a doctoral student is certified once a year by scientific supervisors in accordance with the curriculum. The research schedule is indicated in the individual plan of the doctoral student.

The university or scientific institution provides the doctoral student with the scientific guidance of two scientific supervisors with a degree not lower than doctor (PhD)/doctors by profile, one of whom must be a scientist from a foreign university.

The professional competence of the supervisor is confirmed by at least two scientific publications over the past five years, in foreign and domestic scientific publications with a non-zero impact factor, indexed in the WEB of Science and Scopus databases, speeches at reputable scientific forums.  

Scientific guidance of foreign scientific supervisors can be carried out using distance learning technologies.  

Foreign partners: Brunel University in London (UK), Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), ECM space technologies GmbH (Germany), Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Lithuania).
