The doctoral study is the third and highest degree of university education and its length is dependent on the chosen field. The study can be completed in a full-time or combined programme. Doctoral candidates become members of individual FFWS departments and are principally engaged in scientific and research work, which includes the publication of research results in technical journals, and they also participate in teaching students of bachelor and master study programmes. The study is based on individual study programmes, each student passes examinations in five technical subjects (some of them at other universities) and in the English language.

Graduates of this postgraduate (PhD) branch of study gain special expertise as regards the procedures for forest prevention and protection and applied zoology/game management focusing on the deepening of theoretical and practical knowledge of scientific procedures. This branch of study is focused on the broad issue of protection of forests against harmful agents, mainly against insect pests. In addition to application to forest protection, the doctoral thesis also addresses the issue of basic research of insects, fungi and their symbiotic relationships as critical underlying data for forest protection as such. The research uses the state-of-the-art methods of geostatistics, dendrochronology and climate models in relation to effects on the harmful factors.
