Programme for doctoral students admitted AFTER 01.10.2022

The unique study programme at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School enables doctoral students to develop their interdisciplinary research skills and prepare their doctoral dissertation within 4 years.

A doctoral student at MSD is required to complete a programme of study that supports the individualised development of the academic competences necessary, in particular, for the preparation and defence of an interdisciplinary dissertation, and at the same time allows them to achieve all the learning outcomes of level 8 of the Polish Qualifications Framework.

At the same time, the programme offers the possibility of choosing classes from the offer of doctoral schools according to the needs of the doctoral student.
