Faculty of Science - Charles University

Are you a talented, aspiring researcher with a passion for natural sciences? Look no further than the STARS programme at the Faculty of Science at Charles University! 

Each year, we release multiple project calls (ranging from 30 to 50), bolstering our scholars' research endeavors throughout their doctoral studies. From day one, students become integral members of research teams, enabling them to fully immerse themselves in their projects. Thanks to this support, our students consistently graduate within the standard timeframe.


Financial stability is a core element of the STARS promise. Students can rely on a guaranteed monthly stipend of at least 20,500 CZK (equivalent to approximately 800 EUR). The actual amount may surpass this base level, depending on the specific funding available for individual projects.

The STARS program is open to master's degree holders in sciences, medicine, pharmacology, and related fields of study. Even those in their final year of studies, who anticipate receiving their degree diploma at the start of their PhD journey, are welcome to apply. While proficiency in English is important, there's no need for formal English exams.

Our vision is global, and we aim to attract the brightest minds from across the world. During the upcoming STARS 2024 call, prospective students can submit their applications for PhD research topics, which will be revealed on our website on January 8th, 2024. The application deadline is set for March 13, 2024.

Join the STARS program at Charles University's Faculty of Science and embark on an academic journey that nurtures your potential and ensures a solid foundation for your research aspirations.
