About the programme
The Doctoral School of Social Sciences programme covers eight semesters, during which doctoral students complete compulsory theoretical and methodological classes as well as higher education didactics, classes relating to research management in the broadest sense of the term or building the scientific capital of doctoral students.
An important part of the programme is also made up of classes providing an opportunity to learn about research conducted at the University of Warsaw beyond the framework of a single discipline, where some courses are taught by eminent representatives of the social sciences and some are devoted to the research of doctoral students themselves.
