The Institute of Cybernetics offers a conducive environment for PhD studies. Needless to say, a PhD study really means work.
IoC employs a couple of dozen PhD students. Every year, 3..5 fresh doctors defend their degrees.
NB! The 2016/17 admission is governed by new rules, please see here.

In principle, we would like to offer every PhD student of ours a full-time position for work on the thesis within a research project in the mode of exclusive dedication. But this presumes that circumstances coincide nicely: that a matching prospective PhD student and adequately funded research project emerge simultaneously enough.
For information, please ask Andrus Salupere, Tarmo Soomere, Tarmo Uustalu or Marko Vendelin.
