PhD students seeking registration for a doctoral state examination should bring to the Department of Science and International Relations the following documents:

- application for taking a doctoral state examination (can be downloaded in the Forms section);
- a CV;
- a list of publications;
- study record (‘index’) where it is marked the student had attended the requisite courses (whose number is determined by the Field Board);
- certificate about passing an English language exam (record in the index or a certificate);
- offprints of publications according to the requirements of the Field Board;
- a critical overview of relevant literature, if required by the relevant Field Board (this overview should not be bound, merely printed on loose sheets).

PhD students are notified by the Field Board of the date of their doctoral state examination only after submitting all requisite documentation!
