In addition to deepening in the respective individual specialization, there is an opportunity to deal with other current research areas. Discuss open research problems and continue your interdisciplinary training.During the doctoral studies, the dissertation is primarily prepared, which proves that the doctoral students are able to achieve results through in-depth independent scientific work that contribute to the development of the branch of science, its theories and methods. The practical work on the dissertation begins independently of the courses to be attended at the beginning of the first semester. The doctoral students have the opportunity to present the problems and progress of their doctoral projects in a joint report seminar.
