Detail programu/oboru

Cílem doktorského studijního programu (DSP) je výchova špičkových odborníků ve fyzice nanostruktur a nanomateriálů se širokou škálou budoucího uplatnění v základním a aplikovaném výzkumu v oblasti nanotechnologií. Hlavními pilíři DSP jsou teoretická a experimentální fyzika kondenzovaného stavu a povrchů, unikátní experimentální a teoretické metody studia nanostruktur a sofistikovaná technologie přípravy nanostruktur a nanomateriálů. DSP je interdisciplinární a cílí k aktuálním tématům současných fyzikálních věd jako je spintronika, nanoelektronika, nanomedicína a kvantová informatika. Jako jediný z programů doktorského studia na MFF UK tak integruje různé oblasti fyziky a materiálové vědy s přesahem do chemie, biologie a medicíny. V souladu s tradicemi MFF UK je ultimátním cílem vzdělávání ve SDP Fyzika nanostruktur a nanomateriálů poskytnout hluboké teoretické základy oboru pro pochopení klíčových fyzikálních principů a jevů zodpovědných za jedinečné vlastnosti nanostruktur a nanomateriálů.

Admission for studies
Admission for studies will be granted to the applicants, who
• Submitted a complete application form together with all obligatory attachments before the deadline,
• they were granted an entrance examination waiver or they successfully passed the entrance examination,
• they were granted a language examination waiver or they successfully passed it

Invitation to subject entrance examination
The invitation to the subject entrance examination will be sent to those applicants, who
• submitted a complete application together with its obligatory attachments 2, 3 and 4 before the deadline,
• paid the application fee,
• did not obtain the confirmation of the waiver of the subject entrance examination before mid-May 2021.
The invitation to an entrance examination is delivered through the University Electronic Information System. In mid-May all applicants without a waiver receive an invitation to take the entrance examination from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics. If the Faculty approves the waiver, the invitation ceases to apply.

Entrance examination
The entrance examination consists of two parts, subject and language one. The subject part of the entrance examination takes the form of a discussion about the chosen study programme. The committee gives the applicant three questions related to the chosen study programme. The committee judges the correctness of the answer, the knowledge of the field and overall readiness for doctoral studies. Each answer is evaluated on the binary Pass/Fail scale. The applicant must obtain three passing grades. If the applicant has chosen one of the thesis topics offered by the faculty and has obtained an approval of a future supervisor, or if the committee accepts the annotation of the applicant‘s own topic, the applicant will successfully pass the exam with only two passing grades from three questions.
The language entrance examination consists of a test for which the applicant may obtain a maximum of 100 points. The exam verifies that the applicant has an adequate command of the English language, i.e. at least at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This is an equivalent of 50 points. All applicants with a score between 50 and 79 points who will complete all other necessary admission requirements will be obliged to include an English course for PhD. students offered by the Faculty as an obligatory part of their individual study plans.

Podmínkou přijetí ke studiu v doktorském studijním programu je řádné ukončení studia v magisterském studijním programu.

Waiver conditions of the subject entrance examination
The subject entrance examination may be waived for applicants who have chosen one of the thesis topics offered by the faculty and obtained an approval of a future supervisor, and for whom at least one of the following conditions applies:
1. Their work has been recognized in the SVOČ competition in computer science, mathematics, or teaching of mathematics (for study programmes in the fields of Computer Science and Mathematics);
2. their work has been recognized at the Czech-Slovak Student Conference on Physics (for study programmes in the field of Physics);
3. their original scientific work on a relevant topic has been published, or has been accepted for publication, in a reviewed medium indexed by MathSciNet, SCOPUS or ISI Web of Knowledge databases;
4. they have finished a master's study programme in the field of Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics in the academic year 2020/2021, and their grade in each part of the state final examination is „excellent“ or „very good“ (for study programmes in the field of Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics);
5. they have gained at least 120 credits in the master's study programme in the field of Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics in academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21, and their average study grade (according to the Code of Study and Examination, Art. 8, Par. 13) is at most 1.5, where 1=„excellent“, 2=„very good“, and 3=„satisfactory“ (for study programmes in the field of Physics, Computer Science, and Mathematics);
6. they have achieved other results testifying their ability for doctoral studies.
It is necessary to apply for the waiver and prove that the applicant satisfies some of the above conditions, by no later than May 31, 2021 in case of points 1,2,3,5 and 6, and by June 20 in case of point 4.

Conditions for a language examination waiver
The language examination will be waived if the applicant fulfills at least one of the following waiver conditions:
A. The applicant spent at least two years of his/her previous education at secondary or university level with English as the sole language of instruction in one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, South Africa, UK or USA.
B. The applicant does not need to take the language examination of English if (s)he has already passed one of the following exams (in some cases we recognize the exam only with a minimum score or level):
• General State Language Examination in English in the Czech Republic
