Learning outcomes |
As an objective of the research and thesis writing process, in this CU students must demonstrate the ability to:
• Explain an in-depth knowledge about the research topic;
• Establish connections with related domains based on the problem defined in the proposal and the contexts associated with it;
• Disseminate the results obtained in open access scientific events and publications;
• Participate in discussion groups in a scientific event promoted by the course for the inclusion and reconnection of researchers of the doctoral program.

Syllabus |
Each student must verify and measure the specific contents of his/her individual work with the characteris-tics of his/her approach and with the accompaniment of supervisors specialized in the areas that are fun-damental in the investigation. The contents must bring a coherent and integrated approach to the Research Unit and naturally linked to the department in which the doctoral program is developed. The contribution must bring an unprecedented contribution.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The research and writing work of the thesis will be accompanied by a supervisor from the scientific area of Design and professor at the University of Beira Interior. If the topic justifies it or if the student and his/her supervisor agree as pertinent for the consolidation and validation of the work, a second element may be part of the guidance team. The work is carried out individually, under the supervision of the tutor team, and may also be integrated into a multidisciplinary research team or project. The research work will be carried out with the support of the technical resources (human and laboratory) of the UI, the UBI and the associated institutions. Each team (main supervisor- doctoral student) will identify a schedule of activities and all students have to submit for consideration and approval by the scientific committee an annual report on the development of the thesis work.
