Study plan

The general conditions of access to the state doctoral examination are set out in the Study and Examination Regulations (assessments, announcement of deadlines, etc.). The prerequisite is the acquisition of credits and fulfilment of the conditions of the individual study plan.
The student takes the state doctoral examination after fulfilling:
- the subjects of the chosen individual study plan;
- completion of the subjects of the language specialisation and passing a language examination in one language;
- completion of other courses of the methodological basis, or enrolled in accordance with his/her individual study plan within the specified number of credits;
As a rule, the examination is taken after the end of the 6th semester of study, but no later than the end of the 8th semester.
The examination takes the form of a debate, where the student first places the institute contained in the question in the overall disciplinary context and then comments on it in more detail. Not only the specific knowledge is assessed, but also the overall overview of the PhD student within the context of the discipline.

Thesis theses are usually developed and submitted in the fourth semester. Their defence usually takes place during the fifth semester of study. The final version is submitted at the same time as the application for the state doctoral examination.

The study will be directed at the initial stages to deepen the student's methodological knowledge and skills; without their mastery, it is impossible to meaningfully prepare a dissertation. It is the latter that is to be the focus of doctoral studies. The student should subject the chosen dissertation topic to in-depth scientific research and, after four years of continuous research, should present a thesis that truly brings new insights and advances the field.
Research activities: students may be involved primarily in faculty or university projects, especially specific research projects. In these, they may act either as investigators or as members of the research team. However, they can of course also participate in other projects and grants.
Publication activities: to be specified in the individual study plan. It consists of at least: three articles published in a peer-reviewed journal in the country or abroad, two peer-reviewed articles in a collection of proceedings in the country or abroad or a book chapter. Quality is preferred over quantity in a system of categories A, B, C with a differentiation of 15, 10, 5 credits (a total of 20 credits for publications is required, with at least one publication from category A or B).
Language requirements - completion of a course focused on proficiency in a professional world language so that the student is able to work with other foreign sources
