About DSE

A class at a university when a small group of participants and a supervisor meet to discuss or study a particular topic, provide presentations and exchange ideas. The Doctoral Seminars in English programme is designed to provide interns with an opportunity for direct, close and interactive cooperation with their supervisors and seminars will make up more than half of all classes. Although cooperation between supervisor and intern is very much a joint decision, it is planned that most of the hours will be in the form of ONLINE SEMINARS. This formula is proposed to meet the needs of non-Polish participants who are not able to visit Poland very often, as well as those who are very busy with their work, family or communities.
