The number of applications for admission to the school has grown rapidly with time, from 62 applications in 2001/02 to 2587 applications in 2010/11. Up until now the research work done by the department, thanks to a solid network of connections between the school and the business world, including Research Centres of the area, has given important training opportunities to more than 600 PhD students since 2001.

The rise in number of applications for admission to the school has also brought a rise in the number of study grants offered to students. Study grants amounted to the total of 21 in 2001 and rose to a total of 82 in 2010. Some of these grants are awarded by research Centres (24 in 2010/2011) and businesses (4 in 2010/2011).

Positions and grants

With a significant number of students, the school’s committee, which is made-up of doctoral student advisors, consists of 60 elements of which 12% come from foreign universities or Research centres. Due to this kind of professor-student ratio, the carrying out of student training and research work is optimised.

Research works carried out by the various groups in the Department are followed along-side by educational programmes, which are based on courses proposed by master and doctoral courses organised by the school.

We should note here that , during the academic year 2009/10, a total amount of 22 doctoral courses were offered.

Every doctoral student, during his/her three years to of a doctoral course, spends a period of at least one semester abroad for training and research work within other universities, or for Conferences and international events.

The schools web of international contacts makes it possible to establish joint-ventures with other important universities around the world, such as Austria, Germany, France, Spain and Switzerland.

Since the school was founded, it has produced more than 150 doctorates of research; all of them are currently working in research centres, universities and/or business around the world.
