Phd in Transportation Planning & Logistics Management

This 4-6 year PhD program is fully supervised by the veteran professors in the Dalian Maritime University (DMU) China. In the first year, the lectures are conducted by a special faculty of CINEC.

After the completion of the taught courses the written exams are conducted locally. Thereafter, the students are invited by the DMU to attend dissertation workshops and reviews in the main university in China for a period of 1-2 weeks. Accommodation is provided in the university premises by DMU on recommendation by CINEC Campus (conditions apply). The prospective candidates are extremely lucky to reserve a seat in this program as only three students per year are recruited for the PhD from Sri Lanka by the Dalian Maritime University.
