We invite you to submit offers of facultative courses for PhD students of the Doctoral School in the academic year 2025/2026. Facultative courses should concern general competencies that are useful to all or some doctoral students as future researchers, academic teachers, science communicators or employees of various technological industries. They should not contain a component specific to a discipline – this is reserved for specialist courses, which we have asked the Institutes responsible for conducting research, and therefore best understanding of what specialist competencies PhD students need, to offer.
The invitation is addressed to all academic teachers employed at the University of Silesia, as well as to people who are not academic teachers, who want to offer PhD students specific, useful competencies.

The form will be open until 12:00 on April 22. The offer will then be analyzed and presented to PhD students. The final list of classes will be selected by April 30.
Notes:
- Before preparing an offer, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the educational program at the Doctoral School, so as not to duplicate issues that are covered by compulsory classes.
- The offer of optional classes is built from scratch every year. People who want to conduct again classes already conducted in previous years are also asked to fill out the form.
