Heidelberg, November 2011.
► “Strategic
Development Plan for the University
of Tuzla for the period 2011 - 2015" sets, as
one of the main objectives of the University, the
establishment of European standards of higher
education stipulated by the Bologna Declaration, that
is, creating preconditions for the third cycle studies at
the University, doctoral studies.
► Doctoral
programmes are crucial for research and
inovation capacity of the society. Both academic
and non-academic sectors are in need for a
systematic increase in the number of highly
qualified researchers.
► Due in part to historical reasons combined with
budgetary restrictions and inadequate perception
of the role of a university in a society, research at
WB universities is also somewhat difficult by the
atomization of research interests.
► University
of Tuzla is defined in "Rules on the third
cycle studies - doctoral
University of Tuzla“ of
studies
at
the
Organization and
implementation doctoral studies, enrollment, the
mode of examination and research, application
procedures, evaluation and defense of doctoral
dissertations, as well as other issues of importance
for the performance of studies to acquire the
scientific degree of doctor of Science / Arts
► The
right of enrolment into the first year of doctoral
studies is granted to candidates who have completed
the appropriate academic undergraduate and
graduate or master studies, with at least 300 ECTS
credits.
► The student elects the courses from a catalogue, in
accordance with the curriculum adopted by the
Senate of the University upon proposal by the Faculty
Council.
► Doctoral study ends with the completion and
defense of the doctoral dissertation.
►
Senate has adopted Guidelines for drafting third cycle study
programmes:
To define admission criterion for doctoral studies in
accordance to a "Rules on the third cycle studies doctoral studies at the University of Tuzla“
►
To define evaluation of an MSc academic degree in ECTS in
the framework of the third cycle .
►
To define a number of courses with ETCS, contact hours that
doctoral student enrolls in first two semesters, considering
maximum load per semester (30 ECTS).
1. 3 courses per semester with max 30 contact hours per
course.
►
►
To define a number of research seminars in each semester,
ECTS they carry, considering maximum load per semester.
►
To define a valuation of doctoral dissertation 60-90 ECTS
►
It is recommended to involve professors from other
universities for realization of the third cycle.
►
Representatives from Collegiate Divisions are to enforce the
Guidelines and "Rules on the third cycle studies doctoral studies at the University of Tuzla".
► Until
now, the University of Tuzla has organized
doctoral studies, in the framework of the Tempus
program “SEE Doctoral Studies in Mathematical
Sciences” with partners.
► The
far-reaching objective of this project is to
enhance the capacities of Western Balkans
universities in mathematical sciences for successful
integration into European Higher Education Area and
European Research Area.
► The focal point is the development of structured
doctoral studies as the third Bologna cycle of higher
education through networking partner universities in
a way that overcomes fragmentation and foster the
reciprocal development of human resources. By
December 2010, i.e.
Objectives of the Tempus program “SEE
Doctoral Studies in Mathematical Sciences”
► To
develop structured doctoral studies in
mathematical sciences through networking
Western Balkans universities in a way that
overcomes fragmentation and foster the reciprocal
development of human resources in accordance
with EHEA - ERA goals
► To strengthen master programs in mathematical
modelling and financial mathematics
► To upgrade laboratories for applied mathematics
at consortium members in Western Balkans
countries

► The
lasting impact is expected through a systematic
increase in number of highly qualified young
researchers, wider employability of mathematicians in
non-academic sectors and adjustment to a new
paradigm in the university mathematics education
making a better use of traditionally strong abilities in
mathematical problem solving.
