2nd year – extra info about classes
Dear PhD students,
below we are publishing extra information about courses – a kind of supplement to the post regarding the Program of Study and its realization during the 2nd year.
PRACTICE
Each PhD student is obliged to realize practice in the amount of hours required by the Programme of Study, specific for each discipline.
You all have been registered in USOS for a proper amount of hours by the School’s Office – just like it was last year.
It applies also to PhD students of biological and Earth and environmental sciences who start realization of practice on the 2nd year.
We remind you that person responsible for giving credits for the course is coordinator of practice and does it when a PhD student submits a filled and signed practice card form.
The list of coordinators is to find in a separate post. The practice card form you can download from the section Documents.
METHODICAL WORKSHOP (INDIVIDUAL AS A PART OF PRACTICE) applies to disciplines of biological and Earth and environmental sciences
Methodical workshop goes together with practice and serves as a kind of proof that your practice was supervised.
A person who gives credits for the course is also coordinator of practice and for this purpose he/she needs a practice card form as well.
Just like in case of practice you all have been registered for methodical workshop by the School’s Office, exept from PhD students of other disciplines who started their practice during the 1st year.
RESEARCH SEMINAR I
According to the requirements of the Programme of Study each PhD student is obliged to realize 60hrs of seminars up to the end of the 2nd year by choosing classes at faculties
or in external institutions.
These 60hrs must be generally done till the end of the 2nd year, the Programme of Study does not suggest the specific amount of hours for each year and that is why you could divide
them quite flexibly, that is you could do 30hrs on 1st year and then 30hrs during the 2nd year or you could decide to realize 6ohrs on the 1st/2nd year at once.
Because of the individuality of choice you can again register for such amount of hours which you have really done during the academic year. In USOS you can choose between two courses:
Research Seminar I – 30hrs or Research Seminar I – 60hrs. If you did only 30hrs during the 1st year, please register for the first option once again. When you decided to do 60hrs altogether on the 2nd year, please choose only the second option. If you already did 60hrs on the 1st year, please ignore the registration.
We remind that credits for seminars are given by coordinators of seminars when PhD students deliver a proof of passing seminars at their faculties or an external seminar card (applying only to seminars realized in external institutions). Names of coordinators of seminars are published in a separate post. The external seminar card is available in the section Documents.
If you need to go through the rules of getting credits for seminars once again, you can find them in the post Research Seminars.
REGISTRATION FOR RESEARCH SEMINAR I 30HRS/60HRS WILL BE OPEN FROM 1ST OF JUNE 2022 (00:00) TO 20TH OF JUNE 2022 (23:59).
METHODOLOGICAL CLASSES TO BE SELECTED
Just like in case of seminars you are obliged to do methodological classes in the amount of 30hrs up to the end of 2nd year of study.
You can get credit for the course contacting a proper coordinator of discipline with submitting your transcript of records. This document serves as proof you have passed a chosen course at the faculty which you want to use to get credit for methodological classes.
You all have been registered for the course by the School’s Office.
More details about the course and rules of getting credits you can find in the post Methodological classes and additional classes.
