Conditions for Admission to Ph.D. studies

• Applicants do not have to complete their master's degree when applying. A certified copy of the diploma or certificate of completion of master's study must be submitted during the enrollment, not later than by the end of September.

• If you graduated abroad, you must apply for recognition of a foreign university degree and qualification (or nostrification). The applicant applies only after successfully completing the entrance exam, not before!

• There is no age limit for applying.

What do I need to do before I officially apply for Ph.D. studies?

• Read carefully the conditions and requirements for the admission procedure of your chosen study program in application in the section Description of verification and evaluation criteria.

• Prepare the mandatory attachments that will be included in the study application.

• Choose and contact a person you want to be your supervisor. The supervisor must be selected only from the approved list of supervisors, which can be found on the page of your chosen doctoral study program.

How to choose a supervisor?

• If you don't know whom to address, it is best to ask for help from the guarantor of the study program. Supplying your dissertation project to a guarantor is essential to help you choose the best supervisor for your topic.

• Once you have selected a supervisor, you must ask him/her for written consent to supervise your dissertation, which you will attach to the application.

• It is also possible to consult with the supervisor before applying and, if necessary, supplement your project to make it defensible before the admissions committee.
