At the end of each year of studies the head of study programme jointly with the Department of Doctoral Studies creates a commission for the assessment of scientific research papers of doctoral students on the basis of reports submitted by the student. In case of a positive assessment doctoral students receive respective credit points for the year of studies.
For a doctoral student to get 24 CPs at the end of the 3rd year of studies, doctoral students need to have at least one publication on the topic of the doctoral thesis in reviewed scientific editions or an approval for acceptance of the publication for publication.
