| Preliminary Knowledge: | The research experience of the Master's thesis, defended research work upon completion of the Master’s degree study programme. The following study courses of the 1st year of study of the Doctoral study programme completed: “Research Methodology” and “Healthcare and Research Ethics”. | ||||||||
| Objective: | To engage in a research group and/or a research consortium; to develop communication skills and abilities needed for obtaining scientific results in the specific project. To be able to communicate on the subject matter of own research work with the wider scientific community; to increase own scientific qualification. To be able to communicate effectively with the society by promoting the formation of the “Knowledge Society”. | ||||||||
| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | The student participates in a research project related to the subject matter of the doctoral thesis; develops research skills and abilities necessary to achieve the goals. Participates in the communication of research results with the scientific community. The student's contribution to the improvement of the study process is the provision of meaningful feedback on the study course by filling out its evaluation questionnaire. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | The student can provide documentary evidence on: participation in National and/or international research projects, international scientist exchange programmes, or the status of a visiting doctor corresponding to the subject matter of the doctoral thesis. 1 CP is allocated for 1-month work in an international project, 0.5 CP – for 1-month work in the National Research Programme. The total amount of work done cannot be less than 2 CP.
