The Information Provided Here is Intended for Students Whose Studies Began after 1 September 2025

For all students, the primary applicable document is their Individual Study Plan, drawn up at the beginning of their studies in accordance with the rules then in force.

Specialized Subjects (Module A and B)

Module A covers subjects aimed at acquiring or deepening the knowledge necessary to achieve the doctoral level of education, specifically characteristic for the studied program, and providing the necessary specialization within it. In addition to the compulsory elective subjects offered for the specific programme being studied, all programmes require students to complete the compulsory subject Dissertation Colloquium I (Kv1).

Module B is a consolidated offering of specialized study subjects for the Doctoral Study Program (DSP), with the purpose of allowing students to expand their professional knowledge in areas that are complementary to the studied DSP. This expansion contributes to the graduate's ability to comprehensively understand issues within the studied field and to define the needs for solving research tasks in the context of interdisciplinary solutions.

The doctoral study board determines the number of specialist subjects (Modules A and B, or the number of subjects from each module) that students must enrol in as a minimum in their Individual Study Plan. Students select at least three specialist subjects in total (Modules A + B). A fourth specialist subject must always be included in each ISP, namely the compulsory Dissertation Colloquium I.

The list of specialist subjects recommended for a specific doctoral study programme can be found in the study plan for the relevant programme below.

You can filter the complete offering of doctoral subjects through the Study Information System: (Code P, substring match, you can filter by faculty or display subjects from all faculties).

Elective subjects, Training courses, Seminars and Skills development

Doctoral students may also choose from university-wide optional subjects, various training courses and other opportunities to develop their skills. One option is lifelong learning courses, with selected courses suitable for doctoral students also referred to as ‘Module C’.
