Introduction
The doctoral study program of Electrical Engineering Science is focused on scientific research and independent creative activity in various sub-areas of electrical engineering, including industrial electronics, automotive electronics, power electronics, electrical machines, and apparatus, and electric drives. Therefore, the study is focused on the deepening of the theoretical basis of electrotechnical branches and on the detailed introduction to modern knowledge in a narrower focus, on which the topic of the doctoral dissertation is followed. The doctoral study enables PhD students to build on the master's degree programs offered at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at VŠB-TUO.
