World Cultures and Religion

The aim of doctoral education in this program is to prepare graduates with extensive knowledge of world cultures and religions who are able to select and apply specific methods of both basic and applied research in ways that generate new knowledge and interpretations in the field of historical studies. Graduates are capable of formulating new hypotheses and defining strategies for further research and for the advancement of knowledge in historical studies. They apply findings from their own analyses and comprehensive scholarly research when addressing problems within the field of study. Selected research methods are employed to identify new and significant interactive systemic relationships. Graduates may become experts specializing in one or more cultural or religious areas, either thematically or geographically.
The graduate profile also includes the acquisition of new language skills corresponding to the relevant geographical or religious area, detailed and specialized knowledge of historical and cultural contexts, and the ability to reflect on the most recent findings in the field both empirically and theoretically. During their studies, graduates acquire the principles of scholarly work, the scientific formulation of research problems, and an understanding of the legal and ethical aspects of academic research, as well as skills in presenting research results. Graduates are able to present their research findings independently and at a high scholarly and communicative level to the academic community in the Slovak Republic and abroad. They are capable of defining the focus of research, coordinating a team within the relevant discipline, and preparing and implementing international research projects.
