After the admission system closes, your application is proceeded for evaluation.

Important: This process requires time and precision. Please be patient and check your e-mail inbox regularly (including the SPAM folder) as well as your account in the admission system where you will find information about the status of your application there: accepted, rejected, or requiring correction. 


How does the evaluation proceed?

Your application passes three stages of evaluation. In this step (before the interview), we describe the first two: 

Stage I: Formal evaluation 
 

At the beginning, we check if your application is complete and formally correct. We verify on a fulfilled / unfulfilled scale: 

  • Your education,

  • confirmation of settling the admission fee,

  • documents from the prospective supervisor,

  • other documents attached in the admission system along with the personal data form.

Only candidates who pass this stage are subject to further evaluation.

Stage II: Content-related evaluation (qualitative)
 

At this stage, you receive points for two elements. Together, they decide your starting position before the interview. 

1. Study results (weight: 40%) 
 

The grade point average converted to the Gdańsk Tech (PG) scale (2-5) is taken into account. 

  • Two-cycle studies: Weighted average: 40% of the grade from first-cycle studies + 60% of the grade from second-cycle studies.

  • Long-cycle (uniform master's) studies: 100% of the grade point average from the course of studies.

  • Exceptions: In the case of admission of a person without a master's degree ("Diamond Grant" or outstanding achievements), 100% of the average from first-cycle studies counts.


Do you have a foreign diploma?

Your grade will be converted to the Polish grading system (scale 2-5) according to the table below:

2. Previous scientific achievements (weight: 20%)
 

Your track record is evaluated on a scale of 2-5. Points are not added up. If you have several achievements, you receive points only for one – the one that is highest scored. 

Below you will find the scoring tables appropriate for your discipline:
