Choosing supervisor

The condition for considering the application for admission to the doctoral school is prior contact with the potential supervisor in order to obtain his/her consent to undertake the supervisor's care, along with the declaration of the head of the department in which the doctoral dissertation would be carried out on the provision of a research position for the duration of the doctoral dissertation if the candidate is admitted to the doctoral school.


In order to find a supervisor, we encourage you to use the supervisor database. Moreover, candidates can contact heads of scientific disciplines, who can help in finding a supervisor in a given scientific discipline.

If you are not sure which discipline to choose, please contact the heads of scientific disciplines you conider or please contact dean or vice-deans of the doctoral school.


We encourage candidates to our Doctoral School to read the article Ten simple rules for choosing a PhD supervisor. In addition, we encourage candidates to discuss with the potential supervisor details of future cooperation and the scope of the doctoral student's duties.
