Study subjects
Structural materials, testing and reliability in civil engineering
The official notice board of the Klokner Institute has the form of a publicly accessible electronic space on which the Institute, as a university, publishes its legal regulations, forms and, above all, decrees regarding the defense of PhD theses or elections to the Academic Senate of the CTU.
Study subjects
Structural materials, testing and reliability in civil engineering
It is the doctoral student’s obligation to fulfil the conditions of the individual study plan. This includes passing 4 to 6 examinations from one-semester professional subjects and passing an examination in at least 1 world language (usually English), which the doctoral student must pass before taking the State Doctoral Examination. The subjects are divided into compulsory, compulsory elective and elective courses.
The PhD student chooses at least 2 subjects from the compulsory study subjects and at least 2 subjects from the compulsory elective study subjects according to the list of subjects of the study programme “Structural materials, testing and reliability in civil engineering“. Due to the focus of the PhD student’s dissertation, it is also possible to take exams from other elective subjects in agreement with the supervisor. The study block is divided into 4 semesters for full-time study and 6 semesters for combined study from the beginning of the study.

Other duties
– A student of the doctoral study programme is obliged to learn, based on the requirement of the supervisor and the topic of his/her dissertation, the conduct of experimental tests and their evaluation,
– regularly and actively present the results of their creative work at professional and scientific conferences of students of doctoral study programmes,
– together with the supervisor, present the results achieved at professional and scientific conferences at home and abroad and in professional and scientific journals,
– to actively participate in activities related to designing and obtaining projects, either their own doctoral projects (IGA CTU) or as a co-investigator of projects in cooperation with the supervisor, from other sources (MŠMT, GA of the Czech Republic, GA of the CAS, MIT of the Czech Republic, etc.) or projects supported by the EU,
– deepen their language skills and, if possible, undertake a study abroad stay at a partner foreign university or scientific institute,
– prepare a written study for the dissertation in the framework of the state doctoral examination
Requirements for the State Doctoral Examination
The requirement of the state doctoral examination is to verify the breadth and quality of the doctoral student’s knowledge, his/her ability to acquire new knowledge, evaluate it and use it creatively in relation to the chosen field of the doctoral study programme and the topic of the dissertation. For the state doctoral examination, the doctoral student submits a written study of his/her dissertation, conducts a professional debate on the dissertation topic and demonstrates his/her expertise in the given topic.
