Elective Subject Module
Participation in classes within the elective subject module, related to the discipline, is organized through registration.
For the academic years 2020/2021, 2021/2022, and 2022/2023
- Exact and natural sciences – 90 hours of discipline-related module with elective subjects
- Social sciences – 50 hours of discipline-related module with elective subjects
- Engineering and technical sciences – 60 hours of discipline-related module with elective subjects
Applicable from the academic year 2023/2024
- Exact and natural sciences / social sciences / engineering and technical sciences – 60 hours of discipline-related module with elective subjects
Doctoral students interested in subjects outside their own disciplinary group may also register for the offered classes as additional educational activities. Descriptions of courses conducted at the school are attached to the schedule.
Training Skills Instead of Teaching Practice
The essence of the "Implementation Doctorate" program is research and the practical implementation of its results, rather than serving as an academic teacher. This means that the Implementation Doctoral School does not include teaching practice. A doctoral candidate at the Implementation Doctoral School is not required to conduct classes with students as an academic teacher.
Instead, confirmation of conducting training lasting at least 5 hours must be provided as part of practicing training skills. This type of task can be carried out:
- as part of professional practice with the candidate's own employer,
- on the university premises under the supervision of a supervisor.
Implementation of the Doctoral Project and Doctoral Candidate’s Responsibilities
Regardless of the education process in the Implementation Doctoral School, a fundamental element of participation in the “Implementation Doctorate” program and receiving a scholarship is the execution of the approved doctoral project in accordance with the schedule. Doctoral candidates are held accountable for this obligation through annual reports on research progress.
Therefore, close and systematic collaboration is necessary:
- with the supervisor,
- with the auxiliary mentor from the employer’s side,
to ensure the ongoing execution of the planned research activities.
Opinions regarding the doctoral candidate’s engagement in conducting research constitute a significant element of the annual reports. These reports influence both the continuation of participation in the program and the continuity of scholarship payments.
