The PhD program of Naval and Industrial Engineering is an official university degree that seeks the training of experts in these two technological fields, taking care that the acquired training is scientific, social, academic and professional.
Its aim is to promote excellence in research in its own fields, seeking to establish links between applied academic research and the industrial production environment involved in shipbuilding.

The incorporation of new R+D+i techniques in the naval sector will increase the added value of their products and make them more competitive. Therefore, the fundamental focus of the proposed Program is applied research in different industrial fields, with special emphasis on what is applicable to the naval sector.
For this reason, the proposed Programme aims to respond to what it understands to be a demand for the R+D+i system by providing professionals and researchers with a high level of specific training and scientific-technical knowledge that supports business activity, contributing to improving the potential of industrial manufacturing and shipbuilding companies. These two productive sectors are common to the companies in the vicinity of the EPEF (Polytechnic School of Engineering of Ferrol) which is not very different from any region in which there are shipyards: this means that there are companies that manufacture components for different sectors, including the naval sector.
The shipbuilding industry tradition can also help companies to enter other productive sectors. Therefore, a multidisciplinary and integrative doctoral programme is proposed that includes both technical aspects and organisational and management issues. Mechanical processes, structural design, process automation and control, the manufacture and use of new materials and components, energy and chemical processes, energy generation, transport and utilisation, naval architecture and propulsion represent some of the fields covered by the doctoral programme. The activity of the different participating groups is aimed at meeting some of the challenges posed by today's industry.
The techniques and methods used are focused on new technologies and cover environmental aspects, biomechanics, new production systems, industrial and shipbuilding, telecommunications. The training provided aims to promote excellence in research in the field of naval and industrial engineering and technology at the service of society as a whole, seeking to establish the link between academic, but applied, research and the industrial production environment heavily involved in shipbuilding.
