  • Fill in the information about the dissertation topic using this form.
  • Create an ORCID ID (only recommended)

Useful information: 

The Charles University student card confirms your affiliation with the university. After enrolment, the student will pick up the student ID card at one of Charles University’s card service centres. 

The student ID card can be used for the Prague public transportation system and also serves as a card for using copy machines at Charles University. More information on printing and copying services at the Faculty of Arts can be found here. More information about IDs can be found on Charles University’s website. 

  • Students of FA CU can apply for accommodation at dormitories of Charles University.
  • All applicants apply for accommodation themselves via the REHOS application and according to the manual.
  • Applicants with a visa requirements who will need to send the original accommodation contract will write an email to their study officer, who will request the contract from the CU dormitory and agree with the applicant on the next steps.
  • In other cases, applicants who book accommodation at the CU dormitories will be further communicated directly by the accommodation office of the CU dormitories.

Student accounts are administered in the Central Authentication Service (CAS) of Charles University. Students set their password in this system for access to CAS and contact information. The password and username of the student may then be used as access data for many Charles University applications and libraries. The personal ID number is an important piece of data that is assigned to students at the beginning of their studies and serves as an identifier. The student number is also specified on the student ID card. After enrolment, each student is required to activate their account in the computer network and to log in to the Student Information System – SIS (graduates of the Faculty of Arts will still have access under the current access data until the date of expiration). 

Contacts for the study officers at the PhD Studies Office can be found here. 

Ph.D. studies take place under the guidance of a supervisor or with the support of a professional advisor. The subject-area board monitors and evaluates your studies. 

Most subject areas for Ph.D. studies organize meetings with first-year students. Thus, we recommend having a look at the web pages of your department or institute that organizes your subject area. The Rector’s Office of Charles University regularly organizes Orientation Week for PhD first-year students.
