Branch programme/details

The program is carried out without any specialization.

The entrance examination is a one-round interview that focuses on professional knowledge, previous scientific and research activities and motivation to study the chosen doctoral programme.

The entrance examination consists of three parts:
1) Past scientific work of the candidate (who prepares a 3-5-minute presentation)
2) Candidate’s motivation and their plan of doctoral research
3) Examination of skills necessary for computer modelling (esp. physical chemistry and chemical physics)

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

The examination is graded with a maximum of 100 points. 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.

This Ph.D. program is an interdisciplinary study combining physical chemistry, biochemistry, and material science with the modern tools of molecular modelling. Graduates are able to solve problems in the structural and dynamical aspects of complex systems using state-of-the-art tools of computational chemistry; they are also capable of writing reports and papers in scientific journals. Graduates have presented their results at international conferences, and have experience with the preparation of grant proposals. They will be useful in various areas of science, including: materials engineering, pharmaceutical research, molecular biology, biotechnology and/or catalysis. Graduates will find positions in applied research both in the private sector and in academia.
