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.
Doctoral candidates can search through the database of the UW academics who are willing to perform the function of a doctoral dissertation supervisor. The list of potential supervisors is available here >>
