About the program

The International Area Studies PhD Program focuses on the various aspects of the current (since 1990) development of North America and Europe (not primarily the Czech environment) as well as the theoretical and methodological issues of the Area Studies Program. The students of the program are, according to the topic of their dissertation and its territorial matters, assigned to the individual departments of the Institute of International Studies where they participate in scientific, pedagogical and other activities:

The program can be studied as a full-time or as a combined form of study.

Starting with the academic year 2021/2022, the Institute of International Relations (ÚMV), a departmental research organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, is also cooperating in the implementation of the International Area Studies study program. ÚMV offers training and consulting capacities for doctoral students or participation in internal research seminars.
