Ph.D. in Geodesy and Cartography Brno University of Technology

Doctoral study program with a Full-Time Mode of Study in English.

The aim of the doctoral study program in Geodesy and Cartography is to provide outstanding graduates of master's degrees with specialized university education and scientific preparation in selected current fields of study. The study is focused on complex scientific preparation, the methodology of independent scientific work, and the development of knowledge in the field of geodesy and cartography theory. data, physical, engineering, and satellite geodesy, photogrammetry, and laser scanning further information systems and digital cartography. The scientific preparation in this study program is based on mastering the initial theoretical disciplines of the science-based basis and theoretical and scientific disciplines of the relevant focus.

Part of the study is also the involvement of students in the preparation and solution of national and international scientific research projects, presentation of results at national and international scientific and professional conferences, and their publication in professional and scientific foreign and domestic journals. During his/her studies, the student gains new theoretical knowledge, his / her own experience from the preparation, implementation and evaluation of measurements and experiments and the necessary practical knowledge also thanks to close cooperation with practice and also through foreign internships at cooperating foreign universities or research institutes.

In the final phase of the study, the student synthesizes all theoretical knowledge gained as well as the results of his / her own creative work and elaborates his/her dissertation.

The aim of the study is for graduates to find:

• employment in research and development activities in the Czech Republic and abroad in the relevant field of specialization in solving difficult, unconventional, and complex geodetic and cartographic problems,
• found employment as academic staff of universities.
