Final state doctoral examination and defence of the doctoral thesis

The final state doctoral examination is a complex exam of all subjects taught in the corresponding specialization apart from a world language. During the exam, the student proves deeper theoretical knowledge in the corresponding field of study and his wider scientific basis, capability to acquire new scientific knowledge, evaluate them and use them in a creative way.
Part of the final state doctoral examination is a discussion about submitted theses of the doctoral thesis.
The student must hand in these theses at the latest with the application for the final state doctoral examination.
Other requirements are established by the subject committee of the corresponding field of study.
The student can apply for the final state doctoral examination at the earliest in the 6. and at the latest in the 8. semester. The application for the final state doctoral examination is submitted in writing after fulfilling all of the subjects of the 1. to 6. semester (including).

In the doctoral thesis, the student presents outcomes he gained during the study in the programme. The thesis has to contain original and published outcomes or outcomes approved to be published.
Filing the application for the defence is conditioned by previous successful passing the final state doctoral examination or simultaneous filing an application for the final state doctoral examination – in this case, the defence and the final state doctoral examination take place in one day.
Deadlines for filing the applications for the defence of the doctoral thesis are as follows:

  • for the spring semester until 31st of January of the preceding autumn semester,

  • for the autumn semester until 30th of June of the preceding spring semester.


    As a condition to admission to the defence, the student must reach the amount of 5 publishing outcomes (detailed conditions are established by the subject council).
