Computer Science and Engineering

The goal of the doctoral degree programme is to provide outstanding graduates from the master degree programme with a specialised university education of the highest level in certain fields of computer science and information technology, including especially the areas of information systems, computer-based systems and computer networks, computer graphics and multimedia, and intelligent systems. The education obtained within this degree programme also comprises a training and attestation for scientific work.

A student may be admitted to the doctoral degree programme provided that he/she graduated from an master degree programme from the area of computer science and engineering and provided that he/she passes an entrance examination. In order to be able to successfully pass the entrance examination, the student is required to select a theme of his/her future dissertation thesis from among of those offered by the faculty, to have an outstanding knowledge of the theory and applications related to the chosen theme, to have skills for scientific work, to have good English language skills, and to obtain an approval from his/her future supervisor.

Practice is not required.

The way and conditions of evaluation are specified in detail in the Study Rules of the Brno University of Technology, and they include an annual check of the studies of a student and an evaluation of the student by his/her supervisor and by the board of the branch. When completing the courses of the individual study plan of a student, the examinations are evaluated using  scale with four values: excellent, very good, good, and failed. State examinations are evaluated using a two valued scale: passed, failed.
