We are approaching the end of the four-year PhD training period at the Doctoral School at Gdańsk University of Technology - in 2024 for PhD students who started their PhD training in AY. 2020/2021.

According to the PSWiN Law:

Article 204, paragraph 1: The education of a doctoral candidate is completed by submitting a doctoral dissertation along with a positive opinion from the supervisor or supervisors.

We would like to remind you that on January 31, 2024, a meeting between the School Authorities and the 3rd and 4th year PhD students regarding the completion of their training was held.

Key information


4th-year PhD students who will not apply for an extension of their PhD training must submit their dissertation before the deadline indicated in the Individual Research Proposal, no later than 30.09.2024 (Monday) as well as participate in the doctoral exam by 21.06.2024 (Friday).


4th-5th-year PhD students who still do not have their dissertation ready and, according to their Individual Research Proposal (IRP), the deadline for submission of the dissertation is approaching, must apply for an extension of the deadline for submission of the dissertation (eDocument).
