The provided list is only indicative and may change annually as new subjects are introduced and some original ones are either discontinued or assigned a different code. If you are aware of any other lecture or course that might be interesting and useful for Ph.D. students in the Molecular and Cellular Biology, Genetics, and Virology programme (DSP MCBGV) and that you would like to recommend, please contact the Guarantor of the programme (likewise, if you know of a lecture/course listed below that is no longer available or that you would definitely not recommend). It is, of course, possible to enroll in a subject that is not listed here but would be useful for your doctoral studies (in compliance with university and faculty rules for course enrollment).
For each subject, the faculty where it is offered is indicated in parentheses (however, students from any faculty of Charles University can enroll), along with other basic information; annotations and syllabi are available in the SIS, where the relevant links lead. An asterisk indicates that it is the same course listed under different codes at different faculties.
