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 entrance exam has 3 parts:
1) A summary of the applicant's previous practical experience and previous scientific work.
2) A short presentation of the planned dissertation project.
3) An examination of the candidate's knowledge in relation to the planned dissertation topic and his/her broader orientation in the field of animal physiology.

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

The examination is graded with a maximum of 100 points. The evaluation includes the quality of the dissertation project, its feasibility and the way of presentation. • Additionally, their ability to communicate in the English language (or in Czech language in case of Czech doctoral study programme) is likewise assessed.
