Open University Courses
PhD Students from at least the second year of the Doctoral School are also allowed to give courses in the Open University Courses program. The University of Warsaw allows everyone who is 16 and older to participate in special lectures, seminars, and language courses.
If you want to present your research results or any other interesting topic to people from outside the University community, you can offer your original programme for every trimester of courses. You just have to attach your tutor’s opinion, the certification of your didactic experience and the declaration of your PhD student status.
