A person ceases to be a student of MU on the completion date of doctoral studies at the Faculty of Social Studies. Proof of successful completion of studies is a diploma and a supplement to the diploma (in the Czech programme issued in Czech). A graduate of doctoral studies receives the title of doctor, abbreviated as Ph.D.

Doctoral degree certificates are presented to graduates of doctoral study programmes at MU at graduation ceremonies. These are scheduled for all MU faculties approximately six months apart each year on the same day. The organization of graduation ceremonies and the issuing of doctoral diplomas (except for graduation) is entrusted to the Department of Research, namely Mgr. Tereza Dvořáková.

Graduates who will be graduating on a specific date are sent an electronic invitation about three weeks before the planned date of the ceremony, including more information about the graduation act itself. The invitation will be sent to the graduates' emails in their IS MU Personal Administration (please also watch the spam or bulk folder). If a graduate wishes to receive the graduation invitation on his/her private email, it is necessary to set up email forwarding in IS MU Mail to his/her private address. In IS MU, you must also provide consent to use your email account after graduation via the so-called Privacy Policy. Information about the graduation date is also communicated in advance to the clerks of the faculty departments that administer doctoral studies. Doctoral graduates do not pay the graduation fee.

If a graduate cannot attend the graduation ceremony, he/she collects his/her diploma and diploma supplement by prior arrangement at the Department of Doctoral Studies and Scientific Qualifications of the RMU Doctoral School. They may do so at their discretion before or after the graduation ceremony. The graduation documents will be collected personally by the graduate or by someone close to the graduate based on a power of attorney (a power of attorney does not have to be officially certified). Upon agreement, it is also possible to reschedule the graduate's attendance to the following graduation date.

You can also download the electronic diploma once it has been made available on the page Student → Graduation → Diploma or in the E-Graduation application.
