Entrance exam description:

A statement by the supervisor and a research plan are mandatory. The research plan should describe the basics of the research, the aims of the research, and the methods used.

The Doctoral School (DS) examines the eligibility of applicants in a two-step system:

1. Committee of the DS examines the submitted documentations and decides whether the applicant will be further interviewed. Criteria: diploma grade, grades of subjects related to the research field, previous scientific activity (publications, presentations, posters), research plan, motivation letter, language skills.

2. Professional knowledge and scientific plans of the applicant are examined/assessed during a personal (online) interview. Based on the interview the DS will decide whether the application can be accepted or not.

Overview:

The Doctoral School of Medical Sciences coordinates the activities of 22 doctoral programs within the broader field of medical and health sciences.

Doctoral training is organized across four scientific disciplines:

- clinical medicine,

- theoretical medicine,
