Between 23rd May and 13th June students of the University of Warsaw can complete a University-wide survey for their opinions about the studies, administration services, their attachment and commitment with the UW etc. The survey will be carried out by the Education Quality Evaluation Unit, Office for Education Innovations, UW.
The UW authorities are highly concerned about the students’ opinions and judgements about various aspects of their studies. Following the guidelines of the University Council for Education, the researchers of the Education Quality Evaluation Unit have prepared a survey concerning three main issues:
- students’ satisfaction with their academic studies, as well as their attachment and commitment with the University,
- efficiency and reliability of the UW students’ support administrative system,
- students’ academic activities and involvement.
“Results of the survey will demonstrate our students’ feelings and opinions about the education at the University of Warsaw. Consequently, the results are believed to help us to take actions in order to improve the academic offer and administration services, as well as increase the students’ identification with the University and academic community,” Prof. Sławomir Żółtek, UW Vice-Rector for Students and Quality of Teaching, said.
The fully anonymous survey is available in Polish and English, and it takes no more than 15 minutes to complete. The responses are confidential and they will be exclusively analysed by the UW Team. On the basis of the gathered material, the experts will prepare a report for the UW Rector and Vice-Rectors. The obtained report will be presented to the academic community.

The UW has started admission procedures for doctoral candidates. This year the offer includes 330 places in the four doctoral schools of: the Humanities, Social Sciences, Exact and Natural Sciences, and the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School.
The doctoral education lasts four years. Doctoral candidates can learn the English language. Classes are conducted onsite. Each person attending the school receives a doctoral scholarship. After the first year an individual research plan is required, and after two years the candidates are subject to mid-term evaluation. The education is believed to be completed on delivering the doctoral dissertation.
Doctoral supervisor
A potential supervisor can only be a person with the habilitated doctor (doktor habilitowany) degree, or an equivalent degree, or the title of professor, or the status of retired professor at the University of Warsaw. Finding a supervisor should precede the recruitment process to a doctoral school.
