The PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, fully taught in English, is designed to provide advanced skills and a sophisticated knowledge base at the expert level for individuals planning a career in academic, industry and research settings in any of the sub fields of the mechanical engineering discipline.
The program focuses on the development of an in-depth understanding of the nature, implementation and evaluation of mechanical engineering principles and applications together with the growth of research skills. The current areas of research interest for the PhD in Mechanical Engineering encompass a wide spectrum, with specific focus on priority areas for Kazakhstan, such as: energy engineering, biomedical engineering, advanced design, manufacturing and control, advanced transportation and sustainable engineering. These areas are also aligned with well-known international research priorities, such as: Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (Information and Communication Technologies; Nanotechnologies; Advanced Materials; Advanced Manufacturing and Processing); Environment, Future and Emerging Technologies; Health, demographic change and well-being (Improving diagnosis; Innovative treatments and technologies; Integrated, sustainable, citizen-centered care). By the completion of the PhD program, students will be capable of designing and conducting independent, innovative, original and high-quality research related to a variety of topics in mechanical engineering. In addition, program graduates will be prepared for working in industrial and academic environments in the positions of university faculty members, senior researchers, engineers and product developers.
