Theoretical Electrical Engineering
Doctoral studies in the Theoretical Electrical Engineering are intended for graduates of the second degree of university studies (Ing. or Mgr.), inclined to original solutions of engineering-scientific problems in the fields of theoretical electrical engineering and its applications. To solve these problems, the PhD student uses the latest knowledge of modern analytical and numerical methods, methods of mathematical and physical modelling, informatics, measurement of electrical and non-electrical quantities, electronics, interdisciplinary methodologies, biomedical applications, as well as knowledge from other disciplines.
The prerequisite for the successful completion of the study is the ability of the PhD student to think abstractly, his ability to apply the acquired knowledge and implement it in the solution of technical problems. The PhD student will learn to correctly characterize and understand physical phenomena and experimental knowledge of these phenomena, to search for their adequate models and to implement new applications in the specific disciplines mentioned above, in science, research and practice. Doctoral studies will enable the doctoral student to acquire comprehensive theoretical knowledge, experimental skills and practical experience, as well as to master the methodology of scientific work, and will prepare him/her for independent scientific work.
The graduate of the PhD theoretical electrical engineering :
- acquire in-depth theoretical and methodological knowledge and practical experience in key areas of theoretical electrical engineering at the level of the current state of research,
- master the principles of independent and team scientific work, scientific research, scientific problem formulation, solving complex scientific problems as well as presentation of scientific results,
- can analyse and solve complex and non-standard tasks in the field of electrical engineering and bring original, new solutions,
- can creatively apply the acquired knowledge in practice, find professional application in various sectors of science, research, industry and services in the public and private sector.
In addition to the above theoretical knowledge, the graduate of the PhD in Theoretical Electrical Engineering will acquire the following additional knowledge, skills and abilities:
- be able to lead small and large teams of scientific, research and development workers, lead large projects and take responsibility for complex solutions to scientific and research problems,
- be able to follow the latest scientific and research trends in theoretical electrical engineering and supplement and update their knowledge through lifelong learning,
- learn the principles of managerial work, be able to carry out experiments according to a time schedule, be able to lead and supervise team members,
- be able to communicate and cooperate with managers of scientific projects and specialists from other professions,
- be able to apply legal, social, moral, ethical, economic and environmental aspects of his/her profession in his/her work.
Prospects of graduates
THEORETICAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
(Field of study 2675 Electrical Engineering)
The doctoral degree study in the study programme Theoretical Electrical Engineering is intended for graduates of the second degree of university study who tend to have an original solution to engineering and scientific problems in the field of Theoretical Electrical Engineering and its applications. To solve these tasks, the doctoral student uses the latest knowledge of modern analytical and numerical methods, methods of mathematical and physical modelling, informatics, measurements of electric and non-electric variables, electronics, interdisciplinary methodologies, biomedical applications, as well as knowledge from other fields. A prerequisite for successful completion of the doctoral degree study is the ability of the doctoral student to think abstractly and his / her ability to apply and implement acquired knowledge in solving technical problems. The doctoral student will learn to correctly characterize and understand physical phenomena and experimental knowledge of these phenomena, to look for adequate models and to implement new applications in the above-mentioned specific disciplines, in science, research and practice. The doctoral degree study will enable the doctoral student to acquire comprehensive
theoretical knowledge, experimental skills and practical experience, as well as to master the methodology of scientific work and prepare him / her for independent scientific work.

Basic condition of admission
The basic condition for admission to the doctoral degree study (a study programme of the third degree) is the full completion of the second degree of university study (Higher Education Act, No. 131/2002 Coll. as amended). In case of a foreign applicant or a student who has completed his / her study abroad, he / she shall submit along with the application form (no later than on the date of enrolment) a decision on the recognition of the certificate of completion of the second degree of higher education recognized by a relevant institution in the Slovak Republic or he / she shall ask UNIZA for the recognition of the certificate of education.
Other conditions of admission
The admission procedure of the applicant begins with the delivery of the application form for the third degree of study to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology UNIZA. Applicant for the doctoral degree study applies for the listed topics. The selection of applicants will be performed in the form of an entrance examination. Applicants will be invited in writing.
The following will be considered at the entrance examination:
• the results of the previous study;
• language competence;
• current publication activity of the applicant;
• other activities of the applicant in the given field (Student Scientific Activity, practice, professional internships ...);
