Oncology and Hematology

The primary objective of the programme is to prepare the finest specialists in the scientific fields related to Oncology and Haematology. The graduates should be ready to continue their scientific careers in academic institutions and medical facilities.

In case the graduate chooses to further their scientific career, they receive support in taking part at long-term post-doctoral internships abroad. The individual departments involved in the course of the studies cover a wide spectrum of topics from the fields of Oncology and Haematology, which are also taught to the doctoral students.

The connecting element between the individual laboratories, academic institutions, and medical facilities, are the shared technologies, joint workshops, academic seminars, conferences, and the mutual mentoring of PhD candidates. The students are motivated by the high quality of the specialised research in a competitive - yet open to collaboration - environment. The performance of individual students is not only rewarded financially but also e.g. through the means of admittance to prestigious international conferences.

Absolvent je po úspěšném ukončení studia schopen:

• work academically and independently in the fields of Oncology and Haematology
• work academically and independently in the fields of laboratory and experimental oncology, cancer biology, and haematology.
• apply the knowledge of the field of Cancer Biology in independent academic work
• understand the theories, concepts, and methods, which represent the current trends in the topical area of their Oncology and Haematology oriented doctoral thesis
• prepare a competitive application for the research project grant
• design the concept of their own research project and then consecutively realise it in cooperation with other team members
• interpret the results of their own research as well as the results of all research in their discipline
• compose scientific articles and publish them in international journals
• work as a post-doctorate scientist both in the Czech Republic and abroad
• professionally lead the students during their scientific preparation

The graduates of the doctoral degree programme are able to use their acquired qualification especially at research institutes and medical facilities in the roles of researchers, university lecturers etc. They are authorised to conduct independent science and research practice in the fields of basic and applied research. In a larger context, they are prepared to perform any activities related to scientific work, i.e. solve conceptual problems, perform science-management activities, and lecturing.

Practical experience is obtained through practical work performed by the research group the student belongs to, and also inside the shared infrastructure, or at CEITEC. For students specialising in clinical studies, the practical training takes place in the partner medical facilities (MMCI, The Faculty Hospital in Brno, the Faculty Hospital U sv. Anny).

The standards of dissertation theses at LF MU are regulated by the Dean's Directive No. 5/2021 "Guidelines on the formal requirements of dissertation theses prepared at the MU Faculty of Medicine"
