Profile of the programme The PhD. programme in Archaeology is oriented at a wide range of problems. At the same time, the necessary specialisation is not intended to limit that range but is to become a means of deeper understanding of archaeology as a cognitive discipline. Dissertations are supervised by both academic staff of the department and by external scholars from high-standard academic and research institutions.
Persistence requirements unspecified
Occupational profiles of graduates with examples During the programme period students achieve theoretical knowledge and empirical ability in archaeology on a level comparable with similar PhD. programmes at advanced Czech and foreign universities. As a result they are trained for high quality research and investigation work in academic environment, heritage institutions, museums and universities, as well as in state administration and non-governmental organisations.
