Overview

UNYP encourages graduates in all disciplines to consider studying for a doctorate – the highest academic award conferred by this university – or an MPhil. To this end, UNYP offers its students through its partners the opportunity to study for a Ph.D. or MPhil in any subject area in which they have relevant research expertise, in association with the relevant Academic Group, Research Centre, or Research Institute.

Studying for a Ph.D. through UNYP

The Ph.D. by research in Community Studies from University of New York in Prague is awarded to a candidate who presents and defends a thesis, after having critically investigated and evaluated an approved topic which results in an independent and original contribution to knowledge and demonstrates an understanding of the appropriate research methods within the chosen field.

This Ph.D. program is designed for those who wish to pursue supervised research at the doctoral level, leading to the publication of a traditional doctoral thesis of sufficient quality to be deemed an original and independent contribution to the existing body of knowledge, and which justifies the award of a doctorate. It is possible to apply and register for the doctorate either directly or via the MPhil route.

Career opportunities

A doctorate is much more than the most advanced qualification in your specialist area of study.

Successfully completing a Ph.D. is proof that you have mastered a set of transferable and highly desirable skills and qualities such as critical analysis, project management, high-level problem-solving, leadership and mentoring, challenging and providing alternative perspectives on received wisdom, advanced research, and presentation skills, self-confidence, determination, and persistence.

Ph.D. graduates have more successful careers and increased earnings than any other graduate. They are seen are the professional “movers and shakers” in the workplace, the employees who bring innovation and enterprise to the table.
