All Rigorosum Proceedings

Metropolitan University Prague implements the Examen Rigorosum proceedings (i.e. a rigorous examination upon the completion of which the candidates receive a “small” doctorate abbreviated as PhDr. that is conferred and recognised in the Czech Republic) in the specialisation of International Relation and European Studies (in both Czech and English) and in the specialisations of Media Studies, and Political Science (in Czech only).
