These courses are arranged by other workplaces of the Faculty than by the Department of Commercial Law, or they are organized at level of the whole Faculty. These courses are organized at the Department: Preparation of the doctoral thesis and Doctoral thesis in which hypotheses of the doctoral thesis are designed depending on an advanced state of the study and the project of the doctoral thesis is fulfilled by partial studies.

The students deepen the acquired knowledge in the Master’s study programme in the courses of a wider scientific basis of the discipline Civil Law Substantive I-III and Civil Law Procedural I-III, they confront their research theme with general civilistic regulation and they look up civilistic substantive and procedural overlaps and links.

The duty to complete the courses Auxiliary pedagogical work I-II and Pedagogical work I-IV is general, these are "fulfilled" according to instructions of supervisor on the basis of participation in preparation of materials for teaching in the Bachelor’s or Master’s studies, by researching of judicature and professional literature used in education, with participation in creation of interactive drafts and presentations, as well as by selective direct teaching under supervision and guidance of supervisor or other teacher, particularly with questions close to the theme of the doctoral thesis.

The specialized courses of the discipline arranged by the Department of Commercial Law are six semesters and assume the drawing up an essay on a special topic agreed in advance with a guarantor of the course and supervisor which, if possible, follows the research theme (theme of the doctoral thesis) and is designed as chapter or basis of a chapter of the future doctoral thesis.These are the courses: Company Law, Competitive Law and Law to Designation I-VI; Law of Business Corporations (community law) I-VI; Existential protection of economic competition I-VI; Law of Contract I-VI; Law on Securities I-VI.

The study plans are designed strictly individually with respect to preferencies and needs of the student and on the basis of his/her proposal.
