From this total, 111 Ph.D. students work out theses in the SE domain, and 170 Ph.D. students in the CIT domain.

There have been realized 13 doctoral these in double coordination with scientific directors from foreign universities.

All the Ph.D. theses publicly defended in this period have been validated by the CNATDCU specialty commission no. 15 granting doctor titles at national level in the SE and CIT domains; thus the percentage of obtaining the doctor title after public defence was 100%. For both SE and CIT domains all Ph.D. titles were granted by the CNATDCU commission without any delay or request to extend the theses.
