The department offers a four-year postgraduate program in Logic. Possible dissertation topics focus on (but are not limited to) the departmental research areas.
General information about admissions to postgraduate programs at the Faculty of arts can be found here (Czech) and here (English).
The entrance exams are oral and focus on determining whether the applicant has sufficient formal knowledge in the discipline and whether he is ready to work on the chosen topic. Applicants are required to hold a Master level degree in Logic, Mathematics, Philosophy or a related field. The applicants are also required to already have a chosen advisor who is willing to supervise their studies, and written a project of their thesis.
