            Doctoral programmes represent the highest level of formal education, distinguished from Ba
            Master’s programmes by their individual focus and emphasis on independent research in a sp
            collaboration with an experienced supervisor and under the guidance of the subject-area bo

            who are responsible for running the particular Ph.D. programme. Doctoral studies prepare y
            in research and/or for highly qualified work in a number of professions. Besides research 
            Ph.D. students gain experience in teaching, publishing, and presenting. Our university is 

            important providers of doctoral studies in the Czech Republic – one in three doctoral stud
            Republic study at Charles University. Therefore, we consider doctoral studies as one of ou
            strategic priorities and focus on developing partnerships with other research institutions
