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 plan and candidate’s knowledge in the given field of study.

The interview is divided into two parts that are aimed at testing both scientific and language skills of the candidate:
1) short introduction and discussion of the candidate’s dissertation plan
2) proving knowledge of biochemistry at the master level.

The committee evaluates the motivation, linguistic competence, professional level and knowledge, and previous experience with scientific work of the applicant(s), together with the quality, feasibility and financial support of the doctoral project in coordination with the potential supervisor.

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 part-time (‚combined‘) study form, the applicant must obtain the minimum number of points required for passing the entrance examination, which is the same as the minimum number of points required for admission.
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.
