University of Silesia in Katowice

Typically, classes are conducted in a contact form. Some of the classes were planned online – language classes and Academic English (most of the groups). Some classes in English and classes for doctoral students of the “Implementation Doctorate” program, as well as some optional classes, are also conducted remotely.

The first classes start on October 9 or according to the given schedule. Optional classes start no earlier than October 16.

Each doctoral student completes three 10-hour classes per module. Doctoral students in the area of exact and natural sciences and engineering and technology are to choose joint classes (with Prof. Jerzy Łuczka) and two classes of their choice. The remaining doctoral students are to complete any three classes. Doctoral students of the “Implementation Doctorate” program are expected to complete classes common to the program (date to be determined) and at least one additional course.
