Information Science with a focus in Telecommunications, PhD

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Information Science with a focus in Telecommunications prepares students for independently engaging in advanced work in high-quality research and teaching. It provides research-oriented graduate study and professional specialization in telecommunications and emphasizes both scholarly and applied research. To earn a PhD degree, a student must demonstrate breadth of knowledge, give evidence of superior scholarship and mastery of a specialized field, and must demonstrate their ability to do significant and relevant research. In addition, the student must conceive, write, and defend a PhD dissertation representing a significant and original contribution to current academic research as demonstrated by a public dissertation defense and publication in established peer-reviewed academic conferences and/or journals. Major milestones en-route to the PhD degree are the preliminary examination, the comprehensive examination, the dissertation proposal, and the dissertation defense.

Degree Requirements

A candidate for the PhD should have broad knowledge of the field of telecommunications as well as a specialization in the area of major interest. Every candidate should have, in addition, a strong background in research methodologies.

The Telecommunications PhD program requires a minimum of 48 credits beyond a master’s degree. Exceptional students with a technical bachelor’s degree may be admitted on occasion, and in such cases, a minimum of 72 credits beyond the baccalaureate degree is required. The 72 credits must include the required courses (or their equivalent) for the MST degree at the University of Pittsburgh.

All PhD candidates must complete: 

• 12 credits of required courses
• 12 credits of doctoral seminars
• 6 credits of minor courses
• At least 18 credits of dissertation research and writing (no more than 18 credits applied toward graduation)
• 48 of the 72 credits must be advanced coursework beyond the MST degree (or its equivalent)

A plan of study should be designed by the advisor and student as early as possible after admission. A copy of the plan of study must be on file in the student’s folder and should be consulted during each registration period.

While these are minimum credit requirements, every PhD student may be required to take more credits of coursework to obtain the breadth and depth of knowledge required to successfully complete their dissertations. Graduation depends upon meeting the minimum credit requirements and all other requirements.

Frequently asked questions about doing a PhD

What you will study

It normally takes three to four years of full-time study to complete this PhD. Your research can be based on a topic of your choice, or may be dictated by industry sponsorship or government funding.

You’ll be assigned two supervisors, who’ll guide you through your studies. Your supervisors will give you direction and experience of the cutting-edge technologies in their areas of expertise. They’ll also give you the support you need to complete your PhD, from giving you guidance and feedback on your work to helping you frame your research proposal. Though you’ll primarily be in contact with your two supervisors, you’ll also work with other staff within ICS and you may have the opportunity to become a team member on research projects.

You’ll be required to write a confirmation report on your research in your first year, and you will be examined by two examiners.

Your final assessment will be based on the presentation of your research in a written thesis, which will be discussed in a viva examination with at least two examiners. You have the option of preparing your thesis as a monograph (one large volume in chapter form) or in publication format (including chapters written for publication), subject to the approval of your supervisors.

Research support

The professional development of postgraduate researchers is supported by the Doctoral College , which provides training in essential skills through its Researcher Development Programme of workshops, mentoring and coaching. A dedicated postgraduate careers and employability team will help you prepare for a successful career after the completion of your PhD.

Hi. Can I pursue Msc. Telecommunication Engineering, having passed Bsc.IT second class honours, upper division.

Thanks Regards// G. Mutua

Respected Sir, I am Danish Souran from India Pursuing MS in Electronics Systems Engineering from University of Nantes, France.This is my final semester.My heartfelt desire is that I do Ph.D. in PhD Telecommunication Engineering Under your supervision. I did Bachelor in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from India with 8.20 of 10 CGPA. I can speak English fluently. Kindly give me an opportunities to do this research. Thanks and Regards Danish Souran

Hello Danish,

Am very sorry about the late reply. Please send an email to the chair of the department via [email protected]

Best Regards

Good afternoon. Just went through your website. Am interested in doing a PHD in the telecommunications field. I have masters in computer science in information systems. Currently am a tutorial fellow at a local university in the department of computer science. My main interest is in mobile computing and as well information systems.

PhD Degrees in Telecommunication Engineering

Telecommunication engineering is a dynamic field that studies computer sciences and electrical engineering in order to have an understanding of how telecommunication systems work. Coursework can include networks, fiber optics, routing and circuit design as well as the political, managerial and ethical ramifications of these systems.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
