Year III
V. semester
During the 5th semester, the student actively participates in various extracurricular activities and, with the publication of the results, achieves a certain number of ECTS (minimum 30 ECTS points).
Points achieved in extracurricular activities are proposed by the study advisor with the consent of the head of studies, and are confirmed by the Committee for the Acquisition of a Doctorate of Science.
Also, during the 5th semester, the student should prepare the declaration of the doctoral topic (if he has not declared it earlier). The registration of the topic of the doctoral thesis carries 15 ECTS credits.
Semester VI
Preparation of the doctoral thesis and defense brings 30 ECTS.
- The student must make a doctoral thesis that should be linguistically, stylistically and technically correct and harmonized with modern procedures and technology of making scientific papers;
- The student does not have to write a doctoral thesis if he has written scientific papers according to one of the criteria: 3 scientific papers (original scientific paper, full paper) in journals that are represented in the WoSCC database (Q1, Q2, Q3), at least one of which is above the average significance factor (Q1 or Q2), that is, two scientific papers represented in the WoSCC database with an above average significance factor (Q1 or Q2) or exceptionally one paper in a journal represented in the WoSCC database that belongs to the 10% best ranked in the Q1 group. Theses should be connected as a whole according to the rules prescribed by the Council for Interdisciplinary Doctoral Studies;
- The student must be the lead author on all papers and have at least 70% contribution in each individual work.
In accordance with the above, the student defends the doctoral thesis before the Committee for the Defense of the Doctoral Thesis.
