Prof. Jan Stejskal, Dean: "Doctoral studies are a huge life challenge that I am not alone in tackling ‒ I will be part of a team and I have a supervisor who will always help me... Thanks to doctoral studies, my freedom gains another huge dimension!"
Prof. Jana Janderova, Vice-Dean: "I associate doctoral studies with intellectual humility. At the end of the postgraduate study, things finally made more sense as they fit together like pieces of a puzzle; at the same time, I realised how little I still knew. Doctoral studies then, as a clear choice, brought me the opportunity to think intensively about my chosen topic, to search for and find solutions and the often-childlike joy of knowledge."
Prof. Michaela Striteska Kotkova, Institute of Economy and Management, Head: "Extending student life, meeting interesting people, learning about the beauty and complexity of scientific work, deepening knowledge and acquiring a range of new skills, and for me personally, it is also a gateway to academia."
Radka Bartonickova, Coordinator for PhD. study programmes: "Doctoral studies are intended for all those who are interested in combining their studies with scientific work. Upon successful completion, the graduate receives a Ph.D. degree, which opens up the possibility of a wide range of applications in both scientific fields and in practice. I will be happy to guide you through your doctoral studies on your way to success..."
Ondrej Kuba, PhD. student: "I consider doctoral studies as an opportunity to develop not only myself, but to contribute my results to the development of the whole society. Studying will offer you a range of opportunities that you had no idea about before."
Katerina Prihodova, PhD. student: "I enjoy technology, that's why I focused my attention on human hands, they are unique. I'm exploring how to use the properties of our hands for new ways of security. Maybe I'll come up with a new method that adds a new biometric ‒ hand shape or temperature ‒ to a fingerprint, iris or voice."
Marketa Libiakova, PhD. student: "Doctoral studies mean for me the opportunity to continue to pursue a field that I am interested in and enjoy. The internship at a foreign university is also an interesting challenge."
Bernard Vanicek, PhD. student: "The most interesting thing for me in my doctoral studies is the teaching activity, because I consider the possibility of educating students and contributing to a generally higher education to be meaningful. The study also offers the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and participate in conferences where I can meet the greatest experts in the field."
