The study of the discipline is intended for applicants with interests to deepen their knowledge of Constitutional Law and with the related field of study Theory of State. Constitutional Law makes the student familiar with the place of Constitutional Law in the law system (term, subject, sources), with theory of constitution and values on which is based, with constitutional bases of state form (territory of organization, state regime, state authority), legal order and law system (law formation, legal regulations, publication of legal regulations, relation of Constitutional, International and Transnational law, constitutional bases of law interpretation), with law regulation of state authority and its organization (distrinution of powers, individual constitutional bodies, their position, rules of activity, elections), with bases of relation of state and an individual (citizenship, basis rights and freedoms, their protection, constitutional bases of position of foreigners). Thoroughly mastering the Constitutional Law of the Czech Republic assumes the detailed knowledge of theory of state and politology as general basis. The common denominator of the doctoral study in the discipline of Constitutional Law is learning the methods of scientific work, as well as critical legal thinking during the analysis of practical problems of Constitutional Law with regard to legislation and judicature of the Czech Republic and in other countries.

It contains the theme of the doctoral thesis, required courses (it means the courses bound to discipline and to its wider basis including the language), selective courses (it means the courses bound to pedagogical work and doctoral thesis) and requirements of supervisor. During the study (the standard duration of studies is four years) the student is obliged to complete all required courses and further selective courses to the extent of minimum 16 credits. The student is obliged to pass the state doctoral examination and submit the doctoral thesis on topic bound to the discipline for its defence.
