The Doctoral Program at FNSPE CTU

The Doctoral Program in Applications of Natural Sciences and in Mathematical Engineering is open to graduates holding a Master's Degree who want to extend their scholarly qualification in a relevant field of study.

The research-oriented program provides in-depth training for a high level of professional competence in the chosen area (see below) and the ability to develop and use independently the professional knowledge and skills gained in research.

Applied Informatics

The aim of the Ph.D. course is to prepare students for both fundamental and applied research in informatics with a view to other disciplines of science understood to be a creative inspiration for research and development of new structures and algorithms and their final implementation. The core of theoretical courses comprises selected topics of numerical methods, mathematical statistics, and modeling of physical, chemical, biological, biomedical, and economic phenomena. Students are directed towards presenting their research results at international conferences and publishing them in professional periodicals on informatics and application fields.
