The Doctoral School of Social Science was established by Regulation No. 20 of the Rector of Maria Curie-Sklodowska University on April 24, 2019.
The Doctoral School of Social Sciences educates young scholars in the following disciplines:
Programs of Study in Doctoral Schools last eight semesters (4 years) and are organized based on doctoral students' curriculum and individual research plans. They allow doctoral students to achieve PQF Level 8 learning outcomes, which refer to the highest level of academic achievement, indicating a deep understanding and mastery of a specific field of study.
Our Doctoral School curricula are comprehensive, offering a wide range of courses that cater to all students. We also provide specialized courses for doctoral students in specific academic disciplines, giving you the flexibility to tailor your learning experience. The program also includes opportunities for internships, non-credit classes, and other enriching experiences.
Individual Research Plans are prepared by accepted doctoral students according to the guidelines announced by the Council of the Scientific Institute, a body responsible for overseeing the quality and standards of research in our institution, at the beginning of the first academic year of the doctoral program. Doctoral students prepare Individual Research Plans in cooperation with and with the assistance of their research supervisors. The plans include, among other things, the topic, methodology, research schedule, schedule for preparing and writing the dissertation, planned publications, research visits, and conference materials related to the doctoral research.
