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) - the applicant's ability to describe the proposed project in English and then discuss it.

2. Specialized topic (0-40 points) - the quality of the dissertation project and the level of preparation of its annotation, the relation of the submitted project to the focus of the intended supervisor and the financial aspect of the project. 

3. Examination from the field (0-30 points) - the applicant's basic theoretical knowledge in relation to the dissertation topic and general overview.

4. Publications, lectures (0-10 points)

At least 70 points are required for successful passing of the entrance interview.

In order to be admitted to the full-time study, an applicant 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. The minimum number of points for admission is determined by the Dean on the basis of the results of the entrance examinations, taking into account the expected number of admitted applicants and the economic and capacity possibilities of the faculty. 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.

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