The Faculty of Electrical Engineering at CTU in Prague has long been ranked among the top ten scientific institutions in the Czech Republic. In the long term, it generates about one third of the scientific output of CTU measured by the number of impacted publications and citations. Scientific outputs include sold licenses of international patents. Electrical Engineering #201-250, Computer Science #151-200 (CTU, 2024: #420, 2023: #378, 2022: #403, 2021: #432, 2020: #498).
There are a number of research teams at the faculty, which you can join especially as a PhD student, but if you are really interested in science, you can start as a Master's student.
Prospective doctoral students apply directly to a specific supervisor, selecting a dissertation topic within a diverse range of disciplines. The role of the supervisor is crucial in your doctoral studies. As you will work closely and intensively on your chosen research project, it is essential that your supervisor is an expert in the field. Before submitting your application, we strongly encourage you to discuss your research ideas with your potential supervisor to ensure alignment and gain valuable insights.
A prerequisite for admission to doctoral studies is a completed university degree in a master's programme. However, you can apply even if you do not yet have a degree, but you expect to pass the state examination before you start your doctoral studies.
The average net income of doctoral students with supervisors from CTU FEL (in the range of the 20th - 80th percentile) during the standard period of full-time doctoral studies is 19 - 49 thousand CZK/month, which corresponds to a gross income of 23 - 63 thousand CZK/month. The income is composed of a tax-free state scholarship supplemented by the internal Student Grant Competition and usually income from employment at the FELU - work on scientific projects. For exceptional results of creative work (e.g. articles in good impacted journals) or teaching activities, the dean usually awards a one-off special-purpose scholarship, which forms an incentive component of the income. Under these conditions, PhD students can devote themselves to scientific work full time.
More information about the individual doctoral programmes and the dissertation topics on offer can be found on the following website: Open day for Doctoral studies at CTU FEE - ČVUT - Fakulta elektrotechnická.
The application must be submitted electronically by April 30, 2025 for the beginning of studies from September 1, 2025. Entrance exams are held June, 10 to 21, 2025.
