The cycle of education at the Doctoral School
Education at the Doctoral School is individualized. Doctoral students choose classes in accordance with the curriculum assigned to them. They decide independently about the choice of tutors and optional classes and the duration of some classes (the latter does not apply to the 2019/2020 program). They fit their needs into a four-year education cycle, consisting of the “milestones” described below.

Individual aspects of education
In addition to classes organized by the Doctoral School, the doctoral student has tasks whose organization and planning lie on his side, in cooperation with the supervisor.
Doctoral seminar
The seminar is counted annually. The end of the fourth year of the seminar is based on the submission of a doctoral dissertation.
Submission of an application for financing from external sources (grant)
PhD students who are provided with total funds for research (for example, as participants in grants) and who demonstrate experience in fundraising may be exempt from this obligation.
The doctoral student in the Individual Research Plan provides the type of grant and the deadline for applying.
Internationalization of research
The performance of this obligation is also assumed to be carried out by a query in a foreign institution and field or laboratory tests conducted abroad.
A doctoral student should secure funds for the trip, e.g. by obtaining funding (grants, NAWA mobilities, institutions supporting research, such as foundations or scientific societies, trip at the expense of the host institution) or by participating in one of the projects organized by the university (Erasmus+ program, PROM program internal DS competitions, other funds provided by the university).
