Branch programme/details

The subject of the study program within the concept of the complex biomedical fields is the issue of physical processes in a living organism, the influence of physical factors on living organisms and the use of modern physical methods in biomedical fields. Biophysics as an interdisciplinary field offers doctoral (Ph.D.) study to university graduates of various specializations (medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, physics, etc.).
The study program is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

The entrance examination takes place before the committee in the form of an oral interview and verifies the student's eligibility for scientific work in the field and the ability to successfully complete the study. The applicant's expertise in the field and preparedness is evaluated by the committee on the basis of the following criteria:
a) Quality of the dissertation project and the manner of its presentation, the proposal of the supervisor/advisor and the financial support of the project - maximum 30 points;
b) previous scientific activity in the field (publications, participation in the JRC, etc.) - max. 20 points;
c) knowledge in the field within the scope of the follow-up Master's degree - max. 50 points;
A minimum of 60 points is required to pass the entrance examination.
In order to be admitted to full-time study, a candidate must obtain the minimum number of points for successful completion of the entrance examination and at the same time obtain the minimum number of points required for admission.

Admission to Doctoral studies is conditioned by successful completion of a Master's study programme.

Verification method:	entrance exam
Confirmation date (of entrance exam) from:	01.06.2024	Until:	30.06.2024
Alternative date (of entrance exam):	01.07.2024	Until:	10.07.2024

Readings are recommended by individual potential supervisors, and are based on professional issues of the potential dissertation and the chosen particular discipline. In particular, monographs and respected IF magazines. Suggested literature and resources can be viewed within the profiles of the specific supervisors.

Doctoral (Ph.D.) study programme Medical biophysics is an interdisciplinary branch making use the cooperation within the framework of basic science research in biology and medical clinical practice. Student education is focused on the relation between physics and medicine. Attention is paid to the knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, studies of physical processes on biological membranes, mathematical modelling of biological processes, biomechanics, biosignals, and also to the biophysical effects of electromagnetic radiation. The standard length of study is four (4) years.
