Preparation of the Thesis Plan

Objectives

With this curricular unit, it is expected that students develop a consistent PhD thesis plan in accordance with available topics. These topics are chosen by the PhD programme governance (in accordance with established rules) and made available to students at the beginning of each PhD programme cohort.

Several major goals should be achieved, such as choosing thesis topic, supervisor and research laboratories where the work will be performed (theoretical, experimental or even both)

It is also a purpose of the curricular unit that students attain a broad knowledge of the topic’s specific bibliography and, regarding the PhD topic, are able to perform tasks regarding problem discussion, experiments planning and data analysis.
