Information for 1st and 2nd-year PhD students in Computer Science

The new doctoral program ([short version]) applies to PhD students starting in year 2023/24 or later. The program includes, among other things:

1. Research Seminar (semesters 1-8). [list] 
2. Discipline Lecture.
   In years I-III, a total of 90 hours of these subjects must be completed. In the field of computer science, this role is primarily fulfilled by PhDOpen courses [website]. These are short courses from various areas of computer science taught by outstanding researchers (usually from other research institutions). One PhDOpen course counts as 10 hours. Typically, 5-6 such courses are organized in an academic year.
   Additionally, each year, several monographic lectures will be offered (counting as 30 hours) as disciplinary lectures for doctoral students. [list] 
   In justified cases, the Director of the Doctoral School may approve a lecture from outside the offered pool of lectures.
3. Monographic Lecture.
   In years I-IV, a total of 30 hours must be completed, which is one elective monographic lecture from the Faculty of MIM's offerings (without limitations). In particular, three PhDOpen courses can also fulfill this role.

The choice of subjects to be credited should be agreed with your PhD advisor.
