  • The Master’s study programme, which is more oriented to theoretical knowledge based on contemporary level of scientific knowledge, research and development, application skills and promoting the potential of creativity. The standard length of study program is 4 years as a minimum and 6 years as a maximum. The Master’s study programme can be a gradual continuation of the Bachelor’s programme, in such a case the standard length of study is 2 years as a minimum and 3 as a maximum. The study course is completed by passing the final state examination, part of which is a defence of the diploma thesis. The study courses of medicine, veterinary medicine and hygiene are completed by passing the state rigorous examination.
  • The Doctor´s study programme concentrates on scientific research and independent activity in a given research or development area or deals with independent theoretical and creative activity in the field of art. The standard length of sturdy is 3 years. The study programme is carried out according to the individual study plan under the supervision of an advisor. It is completed by a state doctoral examination and the defence of a dissertation, which is supposed to bring original and published results or results accepted for publishing. The pre-condition for admission to a Doctor’s study programme is a completion of a Master’s study course. The graduates are awarded the academic degree “doctor” (Doctor), abbr. as PhD.

  • Higher education institutions in the Czech Republic offer the following branches of study: technical, technological, mathematical and physical (mechanical engineering, textile engineering, chemical technology, electrical engineering, information technology, mining and geology, nuclear and physical engineering, civil engineering, transport systems, wood technology), medicine and natural sciences (medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, environmental sciences, forestry, horticulture, agriculture, tropical and subtropical agriculture), humanities (law, philology, philosophy, social sciences, theology), economics (economics and management, business studies), physical education and sport. Especially recommended is the study at the specialised Institute of Tropical and Sub-tropical Agriculture of the Czech Agriculture University in Prague. The institute offers the following study courses: economics and management of agriculture, farm engineering, tropical and sub-tropical plant and livestock production. The study branch of Footwear and Leather Goods Technologies offered by the Faculty of Technology at the Tomas Bata University in Zlin is also recommended. At present there is no other faculty, in EU or elsewhere in the world, which would provide complete accredited study programmes leading to Bachelor, Engineer and Doctor degrees in the field of leather industry. Due to different and time-intensive schedules of the entrance examinations and highly demanding talent tests at art schools and academies, is not recommended to accept apolication for government scholarships in such study branches like art, art architecture and pedagogy. Due to the current legal provision it is not possible to follow Doctor’s study programmes in clinical subjects of medicine but only in theoretical subjects. Such study programmes are oriented on research or development only and the student does not achieve medical specialization in his/her branch of study (attestation).
