      The program focuses on the education of graduates prepared to solve research problems in the sub-area of computer science related to the generation and processing of visual information (computer graphics, image analysis, machine vision) and/or computer games development. The primary means of education is independent research, publication and presentation of research results, as well as their eventual transfer to the industry through student internships. The creative activity within the program focuses on developing new or improving existing mathematical methods, algorithms and technologies dealing with computer processing of visual information and with computer games. The program reflects the growing demand for advanced technologies and builds on the exceptional expertise of MFF UK and UTIA ASCR in these research areas. Graduates can be employed in academia, public research institutions, and private companies.

      Invitation to subject entrance examination
      The invitation to the subject entrance examination will be sent to those applicants, who
      • submitted a complete application together with its obligatory attachments 2,3 and 4 before the deadline,
      • paid the application fee,
      • did not obtain the confirmation of the waiver of the subject entrance examination before mid-December, 2022.The invitation to an entrance examination is delivered through the University Electronic Information System. In mid-December, 2022, all applicants without a waiver receive an invitation to take the entrance examination from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. If the Faculty approves the waiver, the invitation ceases to apply.


      Entrance examination
      The entrance examination consists of two parts, subject and language one. The subject part of the entrance examination takes the form of a discussion about the chosen study programme. The committee gives the applicant three questions related to the chosen study programme. The committee judges the correctness of the answer, the knowledge of the field and overall readiness for doctoral studies. Each answer is evaluated on the binary Pass/Fail scale. The applicant must obtain three passing grades. If the applicant has chosen one of the thesis topics offered by the faculty and has obtained an approval of a future supervisor, or if the committee accepts the annotation of the applicant‘s own topic, the applicant will successfully pass the exam with only two passing grades from three questions.

      The language part of the entrance examination consists of a written test. The applicant may obtain a maximum of 100 points, the threshold for passing the exam is 50 points.
