Doctoral studies,
at the Faculty of Transportation, CTU in Prague

The essence of knowledge is the exchange of information. In the context of doctoral studies, this means that research into new technologies and procedures must be based on both inter-university and industrial cooperation on a global scale.

We offer involvement in established research teams, as well as work on your own unique topic, which we will help you develop and connect with foreign institutions. One of the ways is through grant or scholarship support.

Explore the opportunities we offer, including our unique support in the form of an: Industrial Scholarship, and join our scientific community.
