If your application successfully passes the formal and content-related evaluation, you will be invited for an interview. This is the third and final stage of the evaluation.
Date and place
Interview dates are set according to the schedule and are not negotiable. The Admissions Committee will inform you of the exact date, time and location, or provide you with a link to the online meeting. The format of the interview is decided by the Committee.
Important: Regularly check your mailbox (including the SPAM folder) and your account in the admission system.
The interview and grading principles
During the interview, the committee will check your knowledge in the subject of the planned doctoral dissertation. The meeting takes place entirely in English.
How do we calculate your grade?
-
Scale and authorized persons: Each member of the committee (except for the representative of doctoral students, who is an observer) gives a grade on a scale from 2.0 to 5.0.
-
Final average: Your result from this stage is the average of grades given by the authorized members of the committee.
-
Passing threshold: For your interview to be considered positive, you must obtain an average grade of at least 3.0.
Why is this important? The result of the interview is crucial for your success — it accounts for as much as 40% of the final grade in the entire admission process.
What's next?
After all interviews are completed, the final ranking list is created. It sums up your points for:
-
grade point average (40%),
-
scientific achievements (20%),
-
interview (40%).
The admission results are published on the Doctoral School website.
