Application for extension of the deadline for submitting the doctoral dissertation
Due to the obligation to extend the validity of documents related to the legalization of stay in Poland (visas and permanent residence cards), on May 12 (Monday) at 12:00, an application for extending the deadline for submitting the doctoral thesis has been launched in the USOS Web system, which will be active until August 31, 2025.
The application will be available to doctoral students of the 8th semester and beyond. Due to the issues of legalization of stay in Poland, applications from international PhD students will be considered first. To the application, you must attach a modification of the Individual Research Plan, completed in accordance with the attached instructions.
