• A certified copy of an original degree certificate or an equivalent item of evidence issued by a foreign higher education institution to confirm the completion of studies (a copy of the applicant’s BSc. or BEng. certificate)

These records (namely, their official hard copies) are obtainable from the competent regional authority and must be delivered to the FEEC in Czech or English, not later than August 31 of the given year.

The entrance examination comprises only a single stage, namely, a personal interview with a committee.

At least two weeks before the exam, the applicants will receive a registered letter of invitation indicating the specific time, date, and venue. In exceptional cases, especially where foreign nationals are concerned, and in circumstances that demonstrably prevent an applicant from participating in the interview, the entrance examination may, upon written request by the applicant, take the form of a videoconference.

The condition for studies is the successfully finished master study programme being in the same or similar field. The main assumptions to be accepted are: the interest in and ability of research work, knowledge of English language and very good study results during the master studies. Together with the application the student submits the Applicant Statement, where he/she mainly describes the interest in the study topic, previous activities in the area (experience from practice, own research, participation in project etc.), expected results. The Applicant Statement is written in English with the span of 1 to 2 A4 pages.

The entrance exam is in the form of oral interview, where the assumption of doctoral studies is verified. The applicant shows and justifies his/her interest in the selected study topic, theoretical knowledge in the topic, English language knowledge, and existing research results.

The entrance committee evaluates the quality of the applicant using a 100 points scale divided into four categories:

• Topicality of the study area, overview in the field of dissertation, motivation (max 30 points)
• General overview in theory (max 30 points)
• Content of the existing research activity (max 20 points)
• English language knowledge (max 20 points)

Whereas to accept the applicant, from each category, except the “Content of the existing research activity”, the applicant must be rated with at least 50%. In case of more applicants for one study topic, all fulfilling the minimum score requirements from each category, the committee makes the final decision on accepting one from the applicants.

To qualify for the interview, an applicant has to submit the following items:

• An ID card or an equivalent proof of identity;
• a CV
• a copy of the original M.Sc. or M.Eng. degree certificate and a record of courses completed during the preceding (Master’s) stage of study. Before being delivered to the FEEC, all of these items must be translated into the English language and officially verified.
• a certificate of recognition of higher education and qualifications acquired abroad. Relevant rules, instructions, and advice on how to proceed are available from https://www.vut.cz/en/students/recognition

The tuition fees are to be paid into the bank account of the FEEC.

The proof of payment must be delivered to the FEEC not later than August 31 of the given year.

The applicants' performance is to be evaluated immediately after the end of the exam, and an authorized member of academic staff will guarantee that the entire process is standard and correct.

Following the completion of the procedures, the results will appear in the participants’ e-application tables.

The final decision letter will be sent to the candidates who have submitted all required documents.
