Training period

The standard term of study is four years and begins with admission to the doctoral program. In special cases, according to an individual curriculum, the study period can be extended for up to one year.

Teaching methods

25% of the study time is devoted to the study of disciplines directly related to the object of research, subjects from related fields, teaching skills, the use of information technology, and the development of personal skills. The rest of the time is devoted to instilling research skills, as well as working on a specific research task and developing professional skills.

Evaluation system

Specific requirements for exam results are communicated to doctoral students at the beginning of the module (semester). Credits for theoretical training are awarded with a positive assessment of the final control in the form of an exam, testing, report, project. Module exams that have not been passed can be retaken once.

The main criterion for the completion of the educational process is the development of at least 240 credits by a doctoral student, of which 60 credits of theoretical training and 180 credits of research work.
