The doctoral student achieves the learning outcomes as a result of:
a) realization of an individual training program (obtaining at least 49 ECTS points), including obligatory and elective courses, internship (in the chosen scientific/research/industrial unit – 2 months continuously) and professional practical training (up to 60 h / academic year),
b) realization of an individual research plan, in particular scientific research, preparation of scientific publications and doctoral dissertation, participation in conferences and scientific internships,
c) participation in the life of academic community of the Doctoral School and taking part in different forms of activities organized by the School and Units of Poznan University of Technology,
d) carrying out education and scientific research in academic community on national and international level.
Doctoral training at the Doctoral School is conducted in English.
