If you are a graduate of a master degree program (master level of studies) and have a master's degree, you can participate in the admissions to our school.
Only for applicants with higher education degrees obtained in Poland: If you are finishing your master's degree (you are in the last semester), but have not yet defended your thesis, you can also apply. However, you will have to defend your thesis by the end of September at the latest.
According to the Doctoral School Admission Rules at Gdańsk University of Technology:
"Applicants are eligible for admission to the Doctoral School if they hold a Master’s degree, a Master of Engineering degree, or an equivalent qualification. If the diploma has not yet been issued, the applicant must submit an official certificate from the awarding institution confirming completion of the degree and successful defense of the Master’s thesis.
Applicants in the final semester of their degree program whose education does not require NAWA verification or legalization/apostille, and who are awaiting completion of their studies and scheduling of the thesis defense, may submit a written declaration confirming that they will provide the required certificate and diploma at a later date. In such cases, the applicant may be allowed to participate in the admissions process on a conditional basis. Final admission is contingent upon submission of the certificate confirming completion of the Master’s degree before enrollment as a doctoral student, by the deadline specified in the admissions schedule published in the call for applications, as well as submitting the diploma by the same deadline."
Since training at the Doctoral School is conducted entirely in English, candidates are required to have an English language proficiency level B2 or higher on the global scale of language proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). A list of certificates accepted by the Doctoral School is included in Annex No. 4 of the current Admissions Rules. A certificate is not required from candidates for whom English is the mother tongue and from people for whom English was the language of instruction at higher education studies.
Please note that on the list of accepted certificates, you will find the TOEFL iBT Home Edition exam. Obtaining a min. 100 points entitles candidates to register for admission to the Doctoral School. The exams are offered almost daily (excluding Thursdays and Fridays), making it an easily accessible alternative to the ACERT certificate and other certificates recognised by the School.

The Doctoral School does not organize English language examinations that lead to the issuance of a certificate. If you are interested in obtaining an ACERT certificate at Gdańsk University of Technology that is accepted by the School, please contact directly the Language Center (CJO) of Gdańsk Tech, which is part of SERMO, and/or contact other exam centers that organize exams leading to the issuance of a certificate from the list of accepted certificates.
The Doctoral School does not guarantee that the examination organized by the Language Center (CJO) or another examination center will be conducted in time to participate in the current recruitment.
