Workplaces of specialized departments are equipped with modern experimental, instrumental, and analytical equipment with which it is possible to solve the challenging tasks of scientific research projects in the field of basic and also of applied research.

Power engineering forms a part of almost all human activities. The objective of the "Energy Processes" postgraduate study program is to train students in creative research work in the field of power engineering. The graduates obtain the “PhD” title, the highest possible academic degree. The studies are conducted in the form of day or combined studies.

PhD in Civil Engineering Doctoral study is based on research in civil engineering. Students are working in one of the areas: concrete and concrete structures, steel structures, reliability and durability of structures, transport structures building environment, and urban planning.

Doctoral study program in PhD in Chemical Metallurgy is a modern scientifically oriented, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research program. The study is mainly oriented on the chemical aspects of preparation, extraction and recycling of metallic materials and the characterization of these materials.

PhD in Robotics Robotics is a modern and promising field that is already changing the world and has an open future - the demand for experts (and well-paid). Robots ride, heal, and help, produce and grow, earn and clean. Almost everything is controlled automatically. And you will be there: to be able to develop, deploy, and use them.

The doctoral study program in PhD in Transport and Material Handling follows on from the follow-up master's degree program in Mechanical Engineering, field of study Structural and Process Engineering, specialization in Transport Machines and Handling material.

Students who completed their (follow-up) master´s studies in the same field of study or a related one will be admitted to PhD studies. Applicants who have duly submitted their application and have attached all the required documents will be subjected to individual assessment of the submitted documentation (results of previous studies, CV, a list of published and unpublished works) and the opinion of the supervisor will be taken into account.

PhD in Economy Management in Economy and Management allows by its structure and content focus to link to the knowledge gained from a master's degree. It is a major research-oriented knowledge and skill associated with the study of many subjects that are tied to the functional areas of business systems.

PhD in Control of Machines and Processes study program Control of Machines and Processes is focused on the control of machines and the control of processes. As a machine, you can imagine different production equipment and its subsystems, just as their grouping, it can be a robot, autonomous systems or mechatronic systems.

The Ph.D. study program Communication technology is focused on the scientific and academic education of experts who make their careers in the fields of research and development or in academia. Throughout their study, the Ph.D. students are an integral part of ongoing RD projects. They actively publish the findings of their scientific work and are introduced to the scientific community by their mentors. The study requires a minimum of four academic years of study. After the successful defense of the thesis, the students are awarded the Ph.D. degree.
