6 Energy PhD Degree Programs in Czech Republic

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.

The aim of the doctoral study program "Thermal Engineering and Fuels in Industry" is the scientific education of professionals who can creatively solve scientific research problems in the field of thermal engineering, energy, fuel chemistry, and ceramic materials, especially for high temperatures and material and energy utilization of waste.

The Doctoral course of study aims to prepare highly qualified experts who can develop their branch of study by searching for new, original solutions, methods, and procedures, as well as to apply the most demanding generally known methods. The typical employment of the graduates is in the area of research and development, and at universities.

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.

The Doctoral Program in Nuclear Chemistry is intended for graduates of chemistry disciplines of the master course to extend their knowledge, especially of radiochemistry. In its present form, radiochemistry comprises both extensive basic and applied research monitoring chemical and physicochemical aspects of nuclear transformations, as well as methods using radionuclides to tackle chemical problems of a general nature.

The new study program is focused on nuclear security of nuclear installations, nuclear materials, sources of ionizing radiation, and nuclear forensics. A unique feature of the new Ph.D. program consists in relatedness of nuclear security of nuclear installations, nuclear materials, sources of ionizing radiation, and nuclear safety of nuclear installations and its synergies; particularly in emergency preparedness and forensics methods used in various nuclear fields.
