Admissions step by step

Before submitting your application, contact a prospective supervisor in your chosen discipline. Arrange a meeting to present your research idea and discuss the possibility of working together. If they agree to act as your supervisor, attach their signed declaration to your application.

Create an account in eRecruitment and select the appropriate admissions path for the Doctoral School, depending on whether your master’s degree was awarded in Poland or outside Poland. Before continuing, make sure you have selected the correct path.

Pay the fee to the individual bank account specified in the admissions system after registration. Make the payment well in advance, as you can only submit your application once the payment has been credited. If you make an international bank transfer, ensure that the University receives the full required amount in PLN.

The documents you need to submit depend on factors such as where your degree was awarded, whether you have completed your studies, how you demonstrate your English language proficiency and the research achievement you are documenting.

Once your payment has been credited, download the application form, print and sign it, then upload a scanned copy to the system. Submit your complete application by the deadline specified in the admissions schedule for your admissions path.

The committee will first check that your application is complete and meets the formal requirements, including those relating to your qualifications, payment of the admission fee, documents from your prospective supervisor and proof of English language proficiency.

The content-related assessment then considers your grade point average and the single highest-scoring research achievement documented in your application. If you meet all the requirements, you will proceed to the next stage: the interview.

The interview is conducted in English and focuses on the topic of your proposed doctoral dissertation. The Admissions Committee will confirm the date and let you know where or how the interview will take place. Check your email and your account in the admissions system regularly so that you do not miss any important information.

Your next steps depend on your admission status. If you have been admitted or are awaiting admission, make sure you submit the required documents on time, present the originals and complete the formalities for entry in the register of PhD students.
