On the transfer of students of doctoral study
programmes whose accreditation expires on 18
November 2023
(as amended with effect from 1 January 2023)
Since the Faculty of Law of Masaryk University (hereinafter referred to as the "Faculty")
will expire on 18 November 2023, the authorization to implement the following doctoral
study programmes:
- Civil law and civil procedural law
- History of law and Roman law
- Financial law and financial sciences
- International and European law
- Private international law
- Business Law
- Administrative and environmental law
- Theory of Law
(hereinafter referred to as the "Disappearing Programmes")
and that it is necessary to regulate the transfer of students of the terminating programmes
to the successor doctoral study programmes so that they can successfully complete their
studies, I issue the following measure pursuant to Article 5 of Masaryk University Measure
No. 2/2019:
Article 1
1. Students of the Civil Law and Civil Procedure and Business Law programmes
will be transferred to the Private Law and Civil Procedure programme from 13
February 2023 to 24 February 2023.
2. Students in the first and second year of the History of Law and Roman Law
programmes and the Theory of Law programme will transfer to the Theory and
History of Law programme between 13 February 2023 and 24 February 2023;
students in the third year of these programmes will transfer between 18 September
2023 and 22 September 2023.
3. Students in the first year of the Financial Law and Financial Sciences
programme and the Administrative and Environmental Law programme will be
transferred to the Public Law Studies programme between 13 February 2023 and
24 February 2023; students in the second and third year of these programmes will
be transferred between 18 September 2023 and 22 September 2023.
4. First-year students of the International and European Law and Private
International Law programmes will be transferred to the International Law
Studies programme between 13 February 2023 and 24 February 2023; second-
and third-year students of these programmes will be transferred between 18
September 2023 and 22 September 2023.
Article 2
1. Students shall be informed of their transfer to the successor doctoral programmes
specified in the preceding article (hereinafter referred to as "successor
programmes") by notification.
2. The transfer does not affect the calculation of the total study time. For the
purposes of determining tuition fees and awarding scholarships, study in the
terminating programme is not considered unsuccessful.
3. Enrollment in the next semester after the transfer date set forth in the preceding
section (hereinafter referred to as the "transfer point") is made in the successor
program. If the student has met the requirements for enrolment in the next
semester in the terminating program and requests enrolment, the student will be
enrolled in the successor program for the next semester with the consent of the
instructor.
4. The student registers for courses for the semester in which the transfer takes
place after the time of transfer during the period specified in the schedule.
5. The transfer also applies to persons whose studies are interrupted in accordance
with Section 54 of the Act and Article 13 of the MU Study and Examination
Regulations. Pursuant to Article 8 of Masaryk University Measure No. 2/2019, the
transfer does not apply to students who are parties to proceedings to terminate
their studies; in the event that such proceedings are terminated without the
termination of studies, the transfer takes place immediately after the termination
of the proceedings.
Article 3
1. The research focus of the dissertation, as well as the assigned supervisors
or advisors (if any), will not change for students subject to transfer.
2. The individual study plans of first-year students of the discontinuing
programmes are developed and approved by the supervisors to meet the
requirements of the respective successor programmes. If, as a result of the
transfer, the individual study plan of an upper-year student needs to be changed,
the student or the supervisor shall propose the change by the end of the first
semester in which the student is enrolled in the successor programme after the
transfer. Individual study plans, as well as changes thereto, shall be approved by
the departmental board of the successor programme from the time of transfer.
3. From the moment of transfer, the transferred student is obliged to fulfil the
study obligations in the successor programme.
4. The study requirements that have been fulfilled in the terminating
programme up to the time of transfer and that are identical in content to the
study requirements in the successor programme shall be deemed to have been
fulfilled in the successor programme. This applies in particular to the
completion of courses of a faculty-wide basis (courses coded with the letters
"DS"), from which the student is obliged to obtain at least 12 credits (ECTS), as
well as courses related to the preparation of the dissertation, professional
publications, internationalisation, conference presentations and the development of
teaching skills (courses coded with the letters "DI"), from which the student is
obliged to obtain at least 180 credits (ECTS), and the obligation to pass the state
final examination.
5. The first sentence of the preceding paragraph also applies to the obligation to
obtain 48 ECTS credits by completing subject courses (courses whose code
begins with the letters "DO" in the declining letters). The student is obliged to
take subject courses in the successor programme only to the extent
necessary to achieve the total of 48 ECTS credits. Compulsory subject
courses are considered as compulsory electives for these purposes, unless
the subject board of the successor programme decides otherwise by the
time of the transfer.
Article 4
1. I am entrusting the implementation of this measure to the Department for Doctoral
Studies and Rigorosis Proceedings.
2. I hereby delegate the interpretation of the individual provisions of this measure and
the control of compliance with this measure to the Vice-Dean for Doctoral Studies
and Rigorosum Proceedings.
3. This measure shall enter into force on 1 January 2023.
