Information on the admission procedure: | Information about the admission procedure Doctoral study: I. General Information on Studies The Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University (the FSV UK) offers doctoral studies in their full-time or combined forms in accredited study disciplines. They comply with the Rules for the organization of studies at the FSV UK, an individual study plan and Dean's provision no. 22/2021 - Organization of Doctoral Studies at FSV UK. Doctoral studies are brought into completion with a state doctoral examination and the defence of the dissertation. The graduate is awarded a “Ph.D.” degree. For any further details regarding doctoral studies at the FSV UK, study regulations and study plans of accredited study disciplines, visit https://www.fsv.cuni.cz/en/admissions/phd-programmes as well as the websites of corresponding departments and institutes of the faculty. II. General Information on Admission Proceedings 1. Admission proceedings are governed by section 48-50 Act No. 111/1998 Sb., to regulate higher education institutions and to change and amend other laws (“the Higher Education Act”) in its valid form as amended, Code of Admissions Procedure of Charles University, Rector's Measure No. 11/2022 and these Conditions of admission procedures for an academic year of 2023/2024 (hereinafter only “CAP”). 2. Following the session by the main admission committee, the outcomes of admission proceedings are posted in the electronic information system on http://is.cuni.cz/studium (the icon My applications/Progress). A resolution regarding the admission may only be sent to an applicant upon the submission of an officially certified copy of a master's diploma or documentation of the completion of master’s studies (see hereafter). III. Entrance Examination 1. An entrance examination primarily verifies an applicant’s expertise and preparedness to engage in individual research work within a selected study discipline. An entrance examination includes a scholarly discussion on the submitted project of a dissertation. Unless for special reasons stipulated otherwise, an entrance examination is performed in accordance with the accreditation of the study discipline in English, or in any other world language in accordance with the conditions regarding an entrance examination within individual study disciplines. 2. An applicant may be exceptionally granted permission by the dean to perform his/her examination on an alternative day, provided s/he files an electronic request in the information system no later than three days after the due performance of an examination and in such cases when an applicant is unable to undertake the examination on due date for serious and documentable reasons (health reasons, the performance of the state final examination, studies at a university abroad, etc.). 3. An applicant may be exceptionally granted permission by the dean to perform his/her examination in the form of video conference, provided s/he files an electronic request in the information system no later than five days preceding the due date of the performance of an examination and in such cases when an applicant is unable to undertake the examination on due date or alternate date for serious and documentable reasons (studies abroad, scholarship abroad, serious health reasons). An applicant’s performance on another entrance examination do not constitute the reasons for allowing an applicant to perform his/her entrance examination in the form of a video conference. Approval by the chair of a corresponding subject-area board forms a precondition for the dean’s permission. 4. A pre-requisite to successful admission is the submission of an application form with all its supplements, properly completed master’s studies, and successful completion of the entrance examination. Only such an applicant is admitted to studies who has reached the point level in the entrance examination stipulated by the dean. The total amount of points of an applicant incorporates point assessments gained in individual component parts of an entrance examination. IV. Invitation 1. Under Art. 4(5) of the Admissions Procedure Code of Charles University, the faculty is to send to an applicant the invitation to an entrance examination through the University Electronic Information System no later than 30 days before the date of the examination. If the faculty sends an invitation for an alternative date of the entrance examination, this period may be reduced accordingly. A password to log into the electronic information system is obtained by an applicant after the applicant has submitted the application to study. |
