- Prague, Czech Republic
PhD
Full time
4 years
On-Campus, Blended
English
The doctoral program primarily aims at graduates from teacher preparation programs in mathematics and computer science, enabling them to deepen their knowledge from master's programs and take part in ongoing research. The program focuses on elementary mathematics and computer science, their history, as well as teaching. In elementary mathematics and computer science, the emphasis is placed on topics that connect and extend both high-school and university curricula. In history, attention is paid especially to the 19th and 20th centuries, Czech mathematics and computer science. History is also closely related to problems of teaching, as the progress of science depends on the transfer of knowledge from teachers to students, which is supported by textbooks.

Pursuing a PhD in Mathematics and Physical Science means contributing original knowledge to fields that underpin everything from quantum mechanics to statistical theory. You'll spend your years designing experiments, constructing proofs, and producing research that advances your discipline.
The academic environment at this level fosters rigorous independent inquiry and intellectual self-direction. Your coursework moves well beyond foundational study, engaging you in areas such as algebraic topology, condensed matter physics, differential equations, or astrophysical modeling, depending on your specialization. You'll work closely with a supervisor, develop original methodology, and defend a dissertation that makes a genuine contribution to your field.
The competencies you develop, including mathematical modeling, spectroscopic analysis, computational simulation, and advanced data interpretation, translate across a broad range of career paths. Graduates move into academic research and faculty roles, national laboratories, financial risk modeling, aerospace engineering, and science policy. Many also enter sectors where quantitative reasoning and experimental design are central, such as pharmaceutical research or energy systems. A PhD signals not just technical depth but the ability to frame and solve problems that haven't been solved before.
