The PhD programme is organised into five curricula, each covering a major thematic area:

• Mechanics: Use and development of advanced methods and technologies in additive manufacturing, materials, cryogenics, ultra-high vacuum, metrology, mechatronics, and multi-physics simulations and analyses.
• Electronics: Topics in analogue and digital microelectronics for detector readout, sensor networks and detectors, electrodynamics, magnetism, radiation-hard electronics, radio-frequency electronics for detectors, power electronics for detectors, electronics for control, diagnostics, and safety systems of accelerators and detectors, and radio communication systems.
• Computing: Implementation of computing and networking technologies, methods and applications in supercomputing, Big Data, data storage, and the use of AI.
• Detectors, Lasers, and Optics: Technologies for radiation detectors, optical, infrared, and high-energy detectors, as well as laser, optical, and optomechanical technologies.
• Electrotechnics and Electrotechnics for Accelerators: Technologies for generating extremely intense electromagnetic fields for accelerators, including electromagnets, radio-frequency cavities, transmission systems, particularly those operating in superconducting regimes, permanent magnets, and high-performance power systems.
