Best PhD Programs in Architecture in Czech Republic 2017. Civil Engineering Abbreviation: PST Length of Study: 4 years Programme: Civil Engineering Faculty: Faculty of Civil Engineering Academic year: 2017/2018 Accredited from: 25.7.2007 Accredited until: 31.12.2020 Branch supervisor: doc. Ing. Jiří Hirš, CSc. Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program: Building physical aspects of tubular light guides Tubular light guides are used in buildings for several decades already. They are continuously improved to meet the latest requirements, which however comes with some side effects. Like the depreciation of their characteristics, or higher price. Therefore it is advantageous to create a comprehensive overview about the building physical (economical might be possible as well) aspects of tubular light guides, which can be based on long-term monitoring and computer simulations of physical parameters. Tutor: Pěnčík Jan, doc. Ing., Ph.D. Description of the long-term behavior of thermal insulation block made from recycled composite during long term load With the possibility of the use of composites from recycled polymers, such as thermal insulation block, there is a need to describe their long-term behaviour. Description is also by contingent on the type of loading. Especially the compressive load is for this material specific. Description will be implemented using rheological models that will be derived based on the monitoring of experimental prototypes and will be verified by FEM mathematical modeling. Tutor: Pěnčík Jan, doc. Ing., Ph.D. Development of composite structures applicable in reconstruction of civil buildings As a part of the reconstruction of civil buildings is in some cases... [-]

Fields of Study Architecture – Theory and Design Urban Design and Spatial Planning History of Architecture and Monument Conservation Architecture, Building and Technology Annually, there are 20-40 new students accepted into both Czech and English Doctoral study programme. The applicants have to hold a master´s degree in the same field or related field. The entrance procedure consists of assembly of required documents and in some cases of interview with an entrance exam commission. The Doctoral study programme is carried out through full-time or combined (part-time) form of study. Both full-time and part-time studies at CTU generally take 4 years, scheduled into 8 semesters including the Doctoral Thesis submission. Each doctoral candidate is supervised by a tutor who prepares for him/her an Individual Study Plan with the courses to be accomplished in the first two years of the doctoral study programme. The PhD candidate goes through regular evaluation and takes part in two compulsory student workshops within first two years of studies. Successful completion of the final State Doctoral Examination is pre-requisite for the presentation and defence of the Doctoral Thesis. [-]
