  Credit model of the four-year full-time and part-time doctoral studies valid from the academic year 2012/2013

  The model is based on the provisions of §47: The doctoral programme focuses on scientific research and independent creative activity in the field of research or development, or on independent theoretical and creative activities in the field of art and meets the requirements of the Study and Examination Regulations of MU. The studies of the doctoral programme are conducted according to an individual study plan under the guidance of a supervisor. Increased emphasis is placed on publications, papers presented at conferences and foreign mobility.

  20 credits are always required to advance into the next semester. Therefore, the studies require individual allocation of energy and the ability to creatively set partial realistic goals in each semester in order to achieve the 20 credits.

  Before the state doctoral examination and the defence of the dissertation, it is necessary to reach 240 credits.
