Computer Science and Engineering

The goal of the doctoral study programme is to provide outstanding graduates from the MSc study 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 study programme also comprises a training and attestation for scientific work.

A student may be admitted to the doctoral study programme provided that he/she graduated from an MSc study 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 ECTS scale with six values (excellent 1A, very good 2B, good 2C, satisfactory 3D, sufficient 3E, failed 4F). State examinations are evaluated using a two valued scale (passed, failed).
