Auxiliary Historical Sciences
Doctoral degree in full-time or combined form. The language of instruction is Czech.
The programme can be studied only as a single subject.
What will you learn?
The Doctoral Programme Auxiliary Historical Sciences (AHS) focuses on the in-depth study of the auxiliary historical sciences, the history of administration, as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of editing techniques (both medieval and modern sources), including the history of the methodology of the various auxiliary disciplines in the broad context of the historical sciences. Great emphasis is placed on preparing students for creative scholarly work in the field of AHS and in the preparation of challenging critical editions of historical sources. Sources of both official and literary provenance are of interest. Emphasis is placed on individual student’s work under the guidance of the supervisor.
Practical training
The doctoral degree study programme is conceived as specialist preparation for academic practice. The doctoral programme subjects are focused on the independent preparation of contributions for scientific conferences, papers for publication, and specialist discussion. The structure of the subjects also encourages practice in the framework of foreign cooperation.
