Program Description

Program D-MSS, in conjunction with the Research Unit of Water and Environment under IC-ITC, is one of the five doctoral programs of ITC, established in 2017, recognized by the Ministry of Education Youths and Sports. D-MSS was developed by the relevant experts in Water and Environment Engineering such as lecturers and researchers at ITC with the support from partner universities and institutions. Students can register for a single degree at ITC, or a degree under cotutelle (co-supervision) between ITC and a partner university in France and Belgium. The cotutelle program is selective and upon the agreement between ITC and the partner university. 

D-MSS students will develop in-depth understanding of the key technologies in their research area of Water and Environmental Engineering. D-MSS students will work closely with researchers of MSS research unit (generally, one of them is the student’s supervisor) and they also can be co-supervised by the professors from our partner universities or research institutions (France, Belgium, Japan, etc.…).

Why this Program?

  • Become a researcher and an expert in the fields of materials and structure engineering
  • Fulfill one's educational goal
  • Scholarship Opportunities (Internship and PhD abroad)
