How to Apply

Step 1. Select the topic of your Interest

Select some of the offered dissertation topics according to your interests and previous experiences. The topics available in the currently open call are available here. If you have not selected your field of study yet, explore our web pages to get information about all the research groups you could join and work on your PhD project.

Step 2. Register

Please submit your CV and letter of interest via the Registration Form.
Your registration package will be formally reviewed by the PhD Studies Manager. If all formal requirements are met, it will then be forwarded to the relevant supervisor for further review (round 1 of the admission process).
If the supervisor determines that you are a suitable candidate, you will be requested to submit a formal e-application to the Information System of Masaryk University (see Step 3).
The materials should be submitted according to schedule to secure enough time for careful revision of your application and to maintain the highest professional standards of the selection process.

Step 3. Submit e-applications according to schedule

Don´t apply without the approval of your potential supervisor.
