Branch programme/details

The program is carried out without any specialization.

The entrance exam is one round and the interview will deal mainly with the dissertation plane and candidate’s knowledge in the given field of study.
For the interview the students are required to bring their diploma thesis, list of their publications and/or conference abstracts and academic awards.
Within 5 – 10 minutes, the applicant will introduce his/her existing research (diploma thesis), motivation for doctoral study and scientific basis of the doctoral project.
The committee will evaluate motivation of the applicant, his/her language skills and documented research results, as well as quality and feasibility of the proposed doctoral project.

The examination is graded with a maximum of 100 points, of which 30 points may be awarded as a bonus for giving a more specific idea of the study content and planned dissertation in the voluntary application appendix, including the dissertation topic, a brief annotation, an anticipated supervising department and the consent of a specific supervisor to supervise such doctoral project.

Based on a written request submitted electronically together with the application, but no later than by 8th January 2021, the dean may permit that the entrance exam will take place via information and communication technology, but only for serious and documented reasons such as health or study abroad.
