Branch programme/details

Anatomy, histology and embryology belong to the basic morphological field. During their studies, PhD graduates acquire basic research skills and a broad background of experimental work at the level of organs, tissues, cells and even on the subcellular level. The PhD graduate will be able to produce his own research results, he/she will be able to summarize the results of his/her own scientific work, to analyze them statistically, to publish them in research journals, to present them to an expert audience and the broad public and also to translate them to clinical praxis or to other fields of applied research. Detailed information about the doctoral study program Anatomy, histology and embryology is available at : https://mooc.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=144.

The entrance examination takes the form of an interview in which professional and language skills are examined primarily as well as the readiness of candidates for independent scientific work in the chosen field. Interviews comprise of:

1. English language (0-20 points)

2. Specialized topic (0-40 points)

3. Examination from the field (0-30 points)

4. Publications, lectures (0-10 points)

To be admitted to the combined study, an applicant must obtain a minimum number of points for successful completion of the entrance examination which equals to the minimum number of points required for admission.
