      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 and lecturing activities (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 PhD programme in Pathology focuses especially on the following areas: morphological and molecular-biologic features of human tumours and their significance for the differential diagnosis, viral and bacterial pathogens in carcinogenesis, clinicopathological correlations in haematopathology, tumours of the head and neck, lungs, salivary glands and the gastrointestinal tract. New disease entities are characterized. The PhD student acquires a broad scope of knowledge of the whole of pathology as well as laboratory research skills (esp. methods of molecular biology and immunohistochemistry) and presentation skills. The up-to date studies in pathology underline the importance of immunoprofile, molecular-genetics, and ultrastructure of the disease processes, especially of tumours
