PhD IN PROCESS PLANT MANAGEMENT
The Doctor of Engineering Specialization: Process Plant Management is a mixed-mode program. It aims to cultivate individuals who can both invent and put those innovations into practise. The programme will deliver solutions to one or more critical and difficult problems in the management of complex process plants. Consequently, the solution to the problem must take into account aspects such as budgetary restrictions, time constraints, and human capital management in addition to technological concerns.
The EngD. is a radical alternative to the conventional PhD because it provides a more vocationally oriented doctorate in the process industry and is more adapted to the needs of the industry. It is highly flexible and can accommodate applicants from various management levels. It is a full-time postgraduate programme in which applicants are expected to spend the majority of their time conducting research at their respective firms or industries.
