The goal of the programmes is to provide interested persons with doctoral study and research opportunities to acquire a PhD. The task of the programme is to prepare a new generation of scientists who would correspond to the requirements of the international standards for research and academic work, and to ensure a further support to the economy.

Doctoral studies are realised as:

  • full time studies in the doctoral degree programme (3 years), in which PhD students master theoretical courses, acquire practical skills and independently carry out their scientific work;
  • part time studies in the doctoral degree programme (4 years), in which PhD students master theoretical courses, acquire practical skills and independently carry out their scientific work.

Doctoral studies are financed either by State grants for doctoral studies, or grants appointed by the Latvian Council of Science, other institutions, or personal finances.
