The entrance examination takes the form of an oral interview, which primarily tests the applicant's professional and language skills and their readiness for independent scientific work in their chosen field. Admission interviews are oral:
1. English language (0-20 points) - the applicant's ability to independently describe their proposed project in English and then discuss it.
2. Specialized topic (0-40 points) - the quality of the dissertation project and the level of its annotation, the relationship of the submitted project to the focus of the prospective supervisor, and the financial security of the project.
3. Field exam (0-30 points) - the applicant's basic theoretical knowledge in relation to the dissertation topic and general overview.
4. Previous publications and lectures (0-10 points)
To pass the entrance exam, a minimum of 70 points must be achieved.
To be accepted for full-time study, applicants must obtain the minimum number of points required to pass the entrance exam and also obtain the minimum number of points required for admission.

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

Gynecology and Obstetrics and Pediatrics are among of basic medical disciplines. The range and variability of both fields is demanding, however, it allows a wide selection of topics from basic, applied and clinical research in cooperation with many other disciplines. The graduates acquired scientific skills by performing the clinical as well as experimental research work in the course of the study. They learned the basics of study design, data collection and analysis including statistical evaluation. They are aware of the possibilities of funding of their research. They are able to present their data in scientific meetings, publish in research journals and transfer their results into clinical practice. The results of the research should have a direct impact on the clinical practice, leading to novel therapeutic methods and procedures.
