Study in the doctoral study programme is based on the individual study plan. The departmental board usually orders a student to attend to 7 subjects on offer, based on the focus of the student's dissertation and the recommendation of the admissions committee. The tutor and the student can add up to 2 additional subjects.
All the students take exams in English (FCE, TOFEL or IELTS - min 5,5).
International experience

The student must participate in the international conference.
Professional practice
Every student shall actively participate in operational works on experimental faculty facilities. In the first year, the student has to undergo short-term educational stays in the hatchery, model experimental facility, experimental pond station to the total extent of 20 working days. Each student has to undergo at least three short-term (for 5 - 10 workdays) educational stays in various workplaces mentioned above
