We know that financial stability is important for work comfort. That’s why we offer much higher scholarship rates than those set by law.
What does this mean in concrete terms?
And that’s just the beginning. Because you can also: earn an additional scholarship for academic performance, gain academic scholarships for research projects, win the Rector’s Award for organizational activities, become a winner/winner of the Primus Program, which rewards authors of good publications.
We know that at the beginning of your academic journey, support from the university is crucial. That’s why at our Doctoral School we offer mini-grants (up to PLN 20 thousand), which you can use for:
We operate in an alliance of European universities – Unite! We work with eight partners from France, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain and Austria. What does this mean for you?
You can:
We teach in English, focusing on an interdisciplinary approach – so you can choose from a wide range of classes. We guarantee great flexibility in course dates, and you will complete most of them in the first two years of your doctorate.
We also have well-regarded elective courses – including grant preparation, modern teaching techniques, using AI or popularizing science.
You will work on your doctoral thesis under the supervision of an experienced scientist, respected in the community and with a strong research record.
If you choose an interdisciplinary topic, you can prepare your dissertation under the supervision of two promoters (and your second promoter or assistant promoter may even be a scientist from a foreign university).
It is guaranteed that your supervisor will work simultaneously with up to five doctoral students (only in exceptional cases – with seven). So he will have time for you, provide real support and act as a mentor. Which, by the way, is confirmed by the results of surveys we conduct anonymously among our doctoral students. More than 98 percent responded in them that they consider the support of their promoters sufficient.
At Wrocław Tech, we are a community. We make sure you feel at home here. Our Doctoral School will support you with information, organization (and a good word!) from your first steps on the path to PhD, up to the day of PhD promotion.
We also have a very active Doctoral Council. Its members will encourage you to participate in, among other things, the PhD Rally, PhD Day or PhD Fest – events where you’ll also get to know students from higher grades and, above all, have a good time.
You can also take advantage of the same units that support the employees of our university – including the Projects Department, the Science Department, the Center for Teaching Excellence, the Center for International Relations or the Psychological Support and Mediation Department.
If you are thinking of moving from another city and starting your academic career at our university – we assure you that Wroclaw is a good choice.
And this is not just the opinion of us, Wroclawians.
We are the best city to live in among all European centers with up to 750,000 inhabitants – this is official information from the European Cities & Regions of the Future 2025 ranking.
We have a lot of greenery, a developed rental housing market, a rich cultural and entertainment offer, and on top of that a sizable job market, good conditions for developing your own business and a lot of openness. Here you will belong. See for yourself!
And for doctoral students we have 88 places in our student house – in single rooms on our dormitory estate, not far from the university’s main campus.
Did you know that Wroclaw was named one of the best medium-sized city in Europe?
