PhD Programs in Slovakia
The Slovak Republic is a landlocked state in Central Europe. It has a population of over five million people. The main reasons to visit Slovakia are its natural beauty, vivid history and great opportunities for relaxation. Slovaks are friendly and peaceful people living in a free democratic state. Comenius Univerzity is the oldest existing Slovak university, in Bratislava.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
