Admission procedure
Information for applicants
Forms of study
Doctoral studies are exclusively one-subject study programmes. The length of study of all study programmes is four years. Graduates of Doctoral degree study programmes are awarded an internationally recognised scientific degree of philosophiæ doctor (Ph.D.). The doctoral study represents the highest degree of university education.
Full-time and combined forms of study
It is possible to study in two ways. Full-time study means that your study duties are spread over the working days (Mon-Fri) according to your timetable. Full-time students participate in lectures, conferences, and educational and research activities of the workplace. The combined form of study is more often chosen by those applicants who have other responsibilities (e.g. employment or family) that do not allow them to attend classes daily.
