The training in the doctoral school ends with the submission of a dissertation.
NOTE: The doctoral student submits the dissertation 2 times in total:
- the first time: at the end of training in the doctoral school under the rules defined by the school, obtaining in this way confirmation of the achievement of learning outcomes for qualifications at level 8 PQF. This dissertation stays in the doctoral student’s personal file;
- the next time: at the initiation of the procedure for the award of the doctoral degree under the rules specified by the competent Scientific Council of an institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences or the Disciplinary Council of the University;
The doctoral dissertation submitted at the end of training at the doctoral school should be prepared according to the same guidelines that apply to the relevant Scientific Council or the Discipline Council of the KISD unit (requirements as to the layout, first page, etc.).
Each KISD doctoral student should become familiar with the rules for awarding a doctoral degree in the relevant KISD unit in which he or she plans to submit an application to initiate the procedure for awarding a doctoral degree.
