Enrollment in Doctoral Academic Studies

On this page, you can find the necessary information regarding enrollment in doctoral academic studies.

The Faculty offers the opportunity to acquire the highest scientific titles across three doctoral study programs. Doctoral academic studies may be enrolled in by persons who meet one of the following conditions:

• completed master’s academic studies, i.e., integrated studies, with at least 300 ECTS credits and an average grade of at least 8 (eight) across all levels of study;
• completed master of science (magister) studies;
• completed four-year studies under regulations valid prior to the entry into force of the Law on Higher Education.

Persons who know one world language may enroll in doctoral academic studies. At the same level of study, a student may be enrolled in the first year of study in the status of a student whose studies are funded from the budget only once. Candidates applying for doctoral studies do not take an entrance exam.

Doctoral studies last for three years, i.e., six semesters (180 ECTS). Students who complete third-cycle doctoral studies in the Agronomy study program acquire the scientific title of Doctor of Science – Biotechnical Sciences. Students who complete third-cycle doctoral studies in the Agricultural Economics study program acquire the scientific title of Doctor of Science – Agricultural Economic Sciences. A student who completes doctoral academic studies in the Veterinary Medicine study program acquires the title of Doctor of Medical Sciences – Veterinary Medicine.

Detailed information on the number of available places, application conditions, application deadlines, and required documentation can be found in the Competition for the Enrollment of Students in the First Year of Master’s Academic Studies and the Professional Guide for Implementing Enrollment in the First Year of Master’s and Doctoral Study Programs.
