Branch programme/details

The program is carried out without any specialization.

The entrance exam is one round. The entrance exam is conducted predominantly in the English language in the form of a presentation and a discussion of questions asked by the examination committee. The applicant prepares a presentation on their dissertation topic proposal which will last approximately 10 minutes. The committee will mainly assess this presentation, the relevance of the topic, its relation to the pre-existing research in the field, the scientific contribution, and the ability of the applicant to think critically about the questions which will mainly be related to their proposed topic.

The applicant must demonstrate scientific expertise and capability of independent scientific work.

The examination is graded with a maximum of 100 points and consists of an interview with the applicant about their chosen dissertation topic. The quality of the dissertation project, its feasibility (also in regards to the form of the study) and the quality of the presentation (as specified in the entrance examination description of the individual study programmes) are all part of the assessment. Additionally, their ability to communicate in the English language (or in Czech language in case of Czech doctoral study programme) is likewise assessed.

In order to be admitted to full-time study form, the applicant must obtain the minimum number of points required for passing the entrance examination as well as the minimum number of points required for admission. The minimum number of points required for admission to the specific study programmes will be determined by the dean based on the results of the entrance examination, with the predicted number of accepted applicants and the financial and organisational possibilities of the faculty being taken into consideration.

The minimum number of points required for passing the entrance examination for full-time as well as part-time study form is set to 50 points.

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

Our graduate has an excellent knowledge of modern immunology, ranging from theoretical molecular and cellular bases, through practical methodological aspects of experimental immunology, to the basics of clinical immunology. In addition to specialized knowledge of immunology in the strict sense, they also acquire good theoretical knowledge and basic practical experimental skills in related fields of molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and microbiology. After defending the doctoral thesis, students are familiar with specialized experimental methods, tools for critical evaluation of literature and with general principles of ethics and scientific work soft skills. Graduates are able to solve both theoretical and practical problems they encounter in their research activities. They communicate fluently in advanced scientific English.
