A doctoral degree is the most advanced study achievement based on independent research. It is not only a continuation of the Master programme, but independent higher study that qualifies the student for research work in history, in both in history of the Czech Lands from late Middle Ages to 20th Century, and History of Europe. The key outcome of the study is original research elaborated in the dissertation thesis, research that develops and enriches history as a discipline. The study primarily promotes the students’ own research activities (publications, conference presentations, research grants), but students are also encouraged to participate in the academic activities of the department, such as teaching.
 
The starting point of the doctoral study is the Research Proposal that applicants submit with the application. Applicants choose the research topic individually but it is advisable that they approach and consult with their prospective supervisor. The Research Proposal formulates a clear topic for the dissertation thesis and its methodology and lists basic bibliography.
 
Doctoral study follows an individual study plan that determines the particular study requirements. From the outset, the doctoral program is based on the intensive cooperation between students and their supervisors.
 
Students are guided in the pursuit of necessary theoretical knowledge and methodological skills. The international collaborations with the European Universities create dynamic environment for intellectual growth. Ph.D. students benefit from the support of different European financial schemes, such as Erasmus Mundus, and also from the Czech grants.
 
Research and teaching at the Institute of History covers most areas of history, but we have particular expertise in the following research areas:
  • Monetary Circulation in Europe during the Late Medieval and Early Modern Era
  • Political communication in late medieval lands of the Bohemian Crown
  • Imperial Court and Noble Society in the Early Modern Habsburg Monarchy (17th - 18th Centuries).
  • The History of the Administration of the Czech and Central European Territory (17th - 20th Centuries). (German language necessary)
  • Cultural History and History of the private Life (from the Revolution to the Great War)
  • Influence  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  Educational Theory and  Practice  in the  Czech Lands
  • Comenius´s  Heritage  in different countries of  the  World
  • Iconography, Hagiography and the Relationship Between Art and Literature in the Early Modern and Modern Central Europe
  • Visual Arts, Vernacular Architecture and Heritage Preservation in the Central Europe
  • Economic and social history of the 19th and 20th centuries
  • Military history of the 19th and 20th centuries
  • Czech – German relations in the 19th and 20th centuries
  • Modern history of Russia (19th – 20th century); Anti-Semitism in the European society in 19th and 20th century

A doctoral degree is the most advanced study achievement based on independent research.

Doctoral study follows an individual study plan that determines the particular study requirements. From the outset, the doctoral program is based on the intensive cooperation between students and their supervisors. Apart from the members of the Department of Philosophy, several researchers from the Institute of Philosophy of Czech Academy of Sciences offer their supervision.
 
Research and teaching at the Department of Philosophy covers most areas of philosophy, but we have particular expertise in the following research areas:
Moral philosophy
Political philosophy
Ancient philosophy

The examining committee will decide on the outcome of the admission exam by vote and will decide on the ranking of the applicants. The total number of students who will be accepted to the doctoral study programme on the basis of their achieved ranking may vary for each academic year depending upon program circumstances and upon the numbers of applicants who are deemed to have achieved the required standard.

Study programme:  P6101 Philosophy         
Study field: Study of Religions 6101V014
Language of instruction: English
Mode of study: full-time
Length of study, academic title: 3 years, Ph.D.
 
The end of the last century and the beginning of the 21st century have shown several important developments in Europe and worldwide: Religion did not disappear from the lives of people as many important intellectuals claimed or hoped. In different forms, religious ideas and practices re-entered public space, policy making and even agendas of different political parties. Religious topics became hotly disputed issues in law, state administration, international diplomacy, etc. Immigrants from different religious and cultural backgrounds became important minorities in European countries. We hear politicians who speak about the failure of multicultural policy today. Apparently, there is growing need for new analyses and research in this regard. Doctoral study in the field of the Scientific Study of Religions is focused on these and other related topics. One of the main concerns of the doctoral programme is research in intercultural differences and in the European intellectual history that influenced the Study of Religions.
 
Students are guided in the pursuit of necessary theoretical knowledge and methodological skills. We provide learning in several important languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Hindi, or Japanese. We also train students in developing research methods and skills necessary for conducting interviews and other kinds of field research. The international collaborations with the Research Centre for the Comparative Science of Cultures at Ghent University, Belgium, with the Centre for Culture and Law, Queen Mary, the University of London, with the Institute of Religious Studies at the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland, with the University of Istanbul, Turkey, and with other institutions and researchers worldwide create dynamic environment for intellectual growth. Doctoral students benefit from the support of different European financial schemes, such as Erasmus Mundus, and also from the Czech grants.
 
The starting point of the doctoral study is the Research Proposal that applicants submit with the application (for detailed requirements, see bellow). Applicants choose the research topic individually but it is strongly recommended that they consult it with their prospective supervisor or the guarantee of the programme. Doctoral study follows an individual study plan that determines the particular study requirements.
The key outcome of the study is original research elaborated in the dissertation thesis. The study primarily promotes the students’ own research activities (publications, conference presentations, research grants), but students are also obliged to participate in the academic activities of the department, such as regular doctoral seminars, colloquia, teaching, organizing conferences, workshops, editorial work for the journal Pantheon, etc.
 
Research and teaching at the Department for the Study of Religions cover many areas of the discipline. For the doctoral students, we offer guidance especially in the following research areas:
 
Comparative theories and methods in the study of Religions and Cultures
Intercultural differences and Inter-Religious Dialogue
Contemporary Religious situation in Central and Eastern Europe
New Religious Movements
Modern developments within Christianity, Islam and Judaism
Traditions and Religions of India
 
Admission requirements
1) Applicants should completed a Master’s degree in the Study of Religions, Philosophy, or other related disciplines of Humanities and Social Sciences (such as History, Anthropology, Literature, Sociology, Psychology, Orientalist disciplines, or Economy).

Applicants are required to attach certified documents concerning their university education, including an academic transcript, to the application form. In cases where an applicant is due to graduate after the deadline for submitting applications, these documents must be submitted by the commencement date (usually October 1st) at the latest.

(The bibliography is not included in the word count.) It is advisable that the applicants explain their prior acquaintance with the subject. They can also attach the list of their own publication and other relevant activities.
