Abstract

There is increasing interest in PhD studies, also referred to as 3rd level studies. PhD studies for employees in the IT sector should be mostly focused on strategic fields, advances in software engineering, and software system engineering, however IT architecture should also be an important part of these programs. This evaluation of PhD programs is concerned with their width, depth, quality, and value to the IT industry. It is important to distinguish domain and non-domain characteristics when designing PhD studies. This paper is concerned with establishing a part-time doctoral program in computer science in the context of cooperation with the IT industry. The results of analysis and evaluation of part-time studies are described.
