Electronics

The four-year doctoral study programme includes: compulsory (15 CP), compulsory elective (21 CP) and free elective study courses (6 CP), as well as scientific work (150 CP). Compulsory study courses provide knowledge in one of the current basic directions of electronics - solid state electronics, signal processing theory and electrodynamics, in order to be able to study the chosen specialization at the highest level and perform scientific work in the chosen direction. Specialization study courses provide in-depth (compared to master's and bachelor's) knowledge in the chosen field of electronics. These include Scientific Seminars (6 CP), in which doctoral students must demonstrate the ability to independently acquire and critically evaluate one of the current problems of electronics, new technologies, measurement and calculation methods, as well as to develop and improve their presentation skills. The largest amount of the study programme consists of scientific work, during which a solution must be found to the formulated scientific problems. Research results should be presented at scientific conferences and reflected in the scientific literature. The scientific work ends with the preparation and defence of the doctoral thesis in the doctoral council.
