Doctoral Study Principles
Doctoral study programmes represent the highest level in the hierarchy of university education, which can be reached by completing first the bachelor’s and then the master’s course. They are therefore open to graduates of relevant, or related, master’s degree programmes who are interested in and qualified for scientific work in a university environment or research-oriented institutions, or highly professional work in commercial companies. The standard duration of study in doctoral degree programmes at the Faculty of Business and Economics of MENDELU is three years, except for the study programme Control Automation and Informatics, where the standard duration of study is four years.
The aim of doctoral courses is primarily scientific preparation of the student supported by his/her professional training in a relatively narrowly specialised field. The content of the study is based on the curriculum and the supervisor defines the individual activities of the student. In the first years of the doctoral studies, the student takes professional examinations, defends the thesis and the elaboration of his/her dissertation, publicly
publishes the results of his/her scientific work and gains the necessary experience through the implementation of foreign activities and cooperation. In the last year, the student is mainly devoted to completing the dissertation, passing the state doctoral examination and defending the dissertation. After a successful defence, the graduate receives the academic title “Doctor”, abbreviated as Ph.D. after his/her name.
The study can be carried out in day or combined form. In the day form of study, the student regularly attends his/her home university. In addition to fulfilling the obligations arising from his/her study plan (participation in organised teaching and other organised events), he/she is usually also entrusted with teaching activities. Day students are awarded a monthly stipend during their studies. Within the framework of the combined form of study, the student is not obliged to attend the home university regularly, but he/she participates in organised teaching, consultation and other events related to the fulfilment of the study plan in accordance with the instructions of the supervisor.
