During the entire period of education, it is necessary to complete 40 hours of doctoral seminars; if they are not completed, the doctoral student submits an application for an extension of education together with the annual report for the fourth year and is obliged to complete the missing hours of seminars during this period.
PhD students of the first year, who have already prepared their Individual Research Plan (the form available in the tab for a doctoral student – documents to download) and agreed on it with their supervisor(s), are asked to submit it to the Doctoral School Office along with documents confirming the completion of the year.
Other first-year PhD students are required to submit their Individual Research Plan to the Head of the International Doctoral School within 12 months following the commencement of their studies, i.e., until September 30, 2026. The template of the Individual Research Plan is included in Appendix No. 1 to the Regulations of the International Doctoral School (please complete the entire document in both Polish and English).
Documents required for the completion of the academic year 2025/2026 should be submitted by the doctoral student in person at the Doctoral School Office after registering an appointment through the electronic system available on the Virtual University.
