As a third-level study programme, the doctoral study programme aims at acquiring knowledge based on the current state of scientific and artistic knowledge and, in particular, on the student's own contribution to it, which is the result of scientific research and independent creative activity in the field of science or technology or independent theoretical and creative activity in the field of art.
Prospects of graduates
The graduate of the study programme International Law has an up-to-date overview of the scientific methodology within the field, the theory of international law and related disciplines, has the competence to develop the acquired knowledge, scientifically justify it, analyze partial areas, draw conclusions and scientifically generalize. At the same time, he/she is familiar with the mechanism of linking national law with the relevant sources of international law, with particular reference to the sources of European Union law.
Because the graduate of the study programme is proficient in the methodology of the field and is able to independently and creatively use and develop the acquired knowledge, he/she can occupy the position of a qualified scientist and can be employed in scientific teams at university, academic and other educational and research institutions, as well as in leading positions in the field of science management.

The graduate has a very good knowledge of the mechanisms of human rights protection and is therefore also qualified to work in international and European institutions dealing with human rights protection issues.
A graduate of the PhD programme in International Law can be equally applicable as an advisor to the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic or the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic, as he/she is familiar with the need to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms.
