The university graduate who has obtained the Master's Degree may take the rigorous examination which also includes the defense of rigorous thesis within the branch of study in which the graduate obtained the university education or in the related branch of study. Upon its successful completion, the applicant is awarded the academic degree e.g. PhDr. or PaeDr. In the Slovak Republic the Doctor is a postgraduate degree in two types – as a professional degree (PhDr., PaeDr.) and a research doctorate (PhD). PhDr. is a degree with a tradition of several centuries, originally the highest possible degree. Nowadays it serves as a traditional and popular badge degree, especially common for professionals. In older times with no master's degree, the rigorosum doctorate served as the only doctorate degree (and was roughly equivalent to the today's master's degree, plus a special exam). Requirements for obtaining a rigorosum degree are a Magister or Master (Mgr.) degree, the compilation of a thesis (including successful defense) and passing an oral exam called Rigorosum.

The rigorosum doctorate does not require on-campus residencies or additional course work. It requires a one-stop-examination at DTI in Slovak Republic physically or upon approval of DTI via an online examination.

The subject examination will require the demonstration of knowledge in selected subject areas based on the thesis presented.
