The Doctoral School of the Humanities at the Jagiellonian University offers a unique PhD programme in linguistics. Our programme is based on a wide range of classes and originally designed courses taught by experienced scholars directly involved in research projects on a given subject, which guarantees a high level of instruction and helps to link the programme content with the latest trends in linguistic studies. The basic core of this education programme is made up of optional courses, thanks to which each young researcher can individually profile their own path of academic development, focused on the implementation of an individual research plan and tailored to their interests and preferences. Great emphasis is placed on research methodology, on the latest research trends in linguistics, on the research-based nature of the classes and on the individualized approach to each participant. The courses in English included in the curriculum prepare the participants to connect with the international linguistic community. By acquiring competences that prepare a novice academic to conduct independent research and to disseminate its results, and by gaining social skills necessary for creative thinking and innovative action, a PhD researcher develops abilities vital in initiating and managing individual and team projects. All this means that an important goal of our PhD programme is, on the one hand, to deepen the knowledge and skills of young scholars, and on the other, to offer a highly individualized approach to each participant, by providing support for their comprehensive personal, educational and career development.
