Basic info

  • An applicant may submit only one application form and indicate on it one form of study (full-time or part-time).
  • A decision on admission/non-admission will be sent to the applicant in writing/electronically no later than 30 days after verification of the fulfilment of the admission conditions.
  • An applicant who has received an admission decision is obliged to enrol according to the instructions he/she receives together with the admission decision.
  • An applicant who has received an admission decision is obliged to enrol according to the instructions he/she receives together with the admission decision.
  • According to the Act No. 131/2002 Coll. on Higher Education, as amended, § 59 (3), the faculties have the right to request information from the admitted applicants whether they will enrol for studies. If the applicant fails to provide the information within the required time, the right to enrol in the study shall be terminated.

Requirements

The basic prerequisite is the completion of the second cycle of university studies, namely in the field of study Chemical Engineering and Technology (chemical engineering, chemical technology, inorganic technology and materials, organic and fuel technology, technology of macromolecular substances, Chemistry and Environmental Technology) or in the fields of study Chemistry (Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Macromolecular Chemistry, theoretical and computational chemistry, biochemistry), Physics (physics, chemical physics, condensed matter physics and acoustics, biophysics) or Engineering (materials). Applicants must demonstrate the capacity for independent scientific work and have an active knowledge of the English language. An entrance examination will be held as part of the PhD admission procedure. The content of the PhD entrance examination is to test the applicant’s knowledge of the subject matter covered by the dissertation topic selected by the applicant from the proposals for published PhD dissertation topics.
