Doctor of Engineering - The highest academic degree for excellent research

There are moments of progress when making a significant contribution to science. And moments of uncertainty when experiments fail or complications arise. Bur despite all challenges, the doctorate is a rewarding experience that you will never forget and that will pay off in life.
