Doctoral training of the highest quality

IDS provides support in conducting the research needed for writing and defending doctoral theses as well as to convey cutting-edge world knowledge in the selected areas of science.

The training program at IDS is composed of:

Core curriculum in the selected discipline and entrepreneurship course.
Individual Research Plan which is established between doctoral candidate and the scientific advisor and presented to Scientific Council of IDS within 5 months from the start of the training. IRP includes elective courses, soft & transferrable skills courses, mobility, visiting professors’ lectures, seminars and teaching course & practice.

The doctoral training program lasts for 4 years and after 2 years of training each doctoral candidate goes through the Midterm evaluation (link do zakładki). Based on its results doctoral candidate either continues the training at IDS or stops it.

IDS offers doctoral programme in 12 disciplines within 4 scientific domains taught in ENGLISH:

Engineering and Technology:

Materials Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Control, Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Telecommunication and computer science

Transport and Civil engineering

Architecture and Urban planning

Chemical Engineering

Natural Sciences:

Chemical Sciences

Mathematics
