The studies also allow to build a specialised methodological workshop that allows designing and conducting individual and team research projects, also in the international environment. The program also includes content aimed at competences enabling preparation for academic work with students and designing paths of one’s own scientific career.

Career opportunities:

The Education Program offered at the Doctoral School in the discipline of pedagogy enables the graduate to build a research workshop based on interdisciplinary theoretical background, allowing further independent scientific and research work. The graduate has an in-depth knowledge of the world achievements of pedagogy and its methodological foundations; mastered the research workshop to the extent enabling the creative use of research methods, techniques and tools; knowledge of a modern foreign language enables him to participate in an international scientific environment. The graduate’s completion of advanced studies and research makes him a high-class specialist area of his research interests.

The acquired substantive knowledge and research competencies as well as the established scientific contacts and cooperation with researchers domestically and abroad during the educational program give the graduate a strong position also on the non-academic labour market.
