Informace o studiu

  • Státní doktorská zkouška a obhajoba disertační práce
    Requirements for doctoral examination and the doctoral thesis are the same as in the presence study.
    Student is ready to the state doctoral examination after passing all study duties, such as passing required theoretical courses, getting language proficiency, accomplishing obligation of teaching development, in the half of standard study period.

State doctoral examination is organized as an interview where student is expected to demonstrate general orientation in the field and capabilty of communication and discussion with examinators. The questions asked belong to some of following areas:
    structure and molecular principles of function of microbial, plant and animal cells and their viruses
    mechanisms of mutagenesis, recombination, transposiotion and DNA reparation
    molecular base of carcinogenesis
    principles of cell signalling
    characterization and use of stem cells
    principles driving cell proliferation, differentiation and death
    genetic engineering and gene therapy
    genomics and proteomics
    molecular base of genetic diseases
    general, molecular and developmental genetics
    medical genetics and cytogenetics
    genetics of quantitative tratits
    The student proves accomplishing of duty to present his/her data on international conference, prepare Ph.d. thesis and submits the application
    for its defence by the end of the 8th semester at the latest.
  • Studijní a výzkumné povinnosti

(18 credits/ the first 4 semesters)
    Doctoral seminar UEB (16 credits/8 semesters)
    MU Life Sciences Seminar (8 credits/the first 4 semesters)
    Assistance in practical courses for undergraduates (150 hours total during the whole study) - circa 5% workload
    Acting as supervisor and opponents of Bachelor thesis.
    Passing the state doctoral exam in the 5th or 6th semester (at the latest).

    Research requirements

    short-term scholarship in laboratory abroad is mandatory (5% workload)
    Publishing requirements
