The admission interview can take place in justified cases with the use of electronic communication technologies. In that case, however, the applicant bears the risks associated with the evaluation due to poor quality of connection. The applications of candidates who don´t appear for the interview without excuse will be excluded from the admission procedure. Applicants, who are unable to attend the interview, apologize in time and the excuse is accepted by the Dean, will be assessed by the admission committee in their absence based on the supplied materials.
The applicant must demonstrate a sufficiently wide base of general knowledge in environmental chemistry, toxicology, aquatic ecology and molecular biology during the admission interview. Knowledge of basic literature with a clear idea of the topic of his / her Ph.D. thesis and the ways of dealing with the given issues, plus strong interest in scientific work are expected. Integral part of the admission interview is verification of the ability to communicate in English language.
The admission committee assigns 0-15 points to the applicant on the basis of the oral interview. Another 0-15 points will be assigned to the applicant on the basis of information about previous education, experience, publication and pedagogical activity etc. In this evaluation, the committee of the admission procedure will also take into account the position of the head of the relevant organizational unit of the faculty, where the student is going to work, and a point of view of a possible trainer of an applicant if he/she is not a member of the Admission Comittee. The evaluation itself will be created by the average of the points proposed by the present members of the committee, rounded to two decimal places. Applicants, who do not receive more than 20 points, cannot be admitted to study.
If more than one applicant is assigned to the topic of dissertation, the candidate who receives the highest score will be accepted. In the case of the same number of points, the lot decides about the selected applicant. If one candidate is assigned to a given topic and he / she obtains at least 20 points from the admission committee, he / she will be accepted for study after the other conditions are fulfilled. Applicants who gain more than 20 points, but the topic of the Ph.D. thesis they have applied for will be filled by an applicant with a higher number of points, will be offered the opportunity to accept free topics of Ph.D. thesis if their supervisors are interested. Offering topics of vacant dissertations will be done according to the instructions of supervisors who issue them.
