Doctoral Studies

The doctoral programme prepares candidates to open a doctoral procedure at Polish or British universities in the social sciences, the humanities and technical sciences. It runs for four years and develops research competence through independent investigation, presenting findings at symposia and conferences, and publishing and communicating results to wider audiences. The programme also supports personal and social development and encourages candidates to shape their own plan of academic growth. Contacts with researchers in Poland and the United Kingdom are part of the experience, as is exposure to cooperation between science and business. Candidates gain experience in planning and conducting research, in presenting at academic gatherings, and in sharing findings with the wider public. Taken together, these activities build the skills needed for a doctoral thesis.
