The Post-Graduate School began its activity in 1968 as one of the first such organizations in all the institutions attached to the Polish Academy of Sciences and the universities.

The object of post-graduate studies in this form is:

to develop the faculty of perceiving, formulating and solving scientific and engineering problems;

to master modern instruments and methods of research, both theoretical and experimental;

to form a view on the motive forces and the role of science in the modern world, its connection with development in the domain of production and social progress.

Thus, the object of the studies is seen to be wider than the submission of doctor's theses, which is of course their direct result. The title of doctor's thesis which sometimes seems to be very specialized, conceals the knowledge which was necessary for the solution of the problem and which can be used in many domains of human activity.

The Ph.D. degree can be obtained at the Institute in the following fields:

mechanics,

material engineering,

machine building,

electronics (incl. acoustics),

informatics,

civil engineering.

The form of the studies is individual, depending on the qualifications of the candidate (university and technical university graduates) and his expected future employment (both fundamental and technological research or industry). At the outset, the candidate receives an individual curriculum of studies. A similar programme is received at the beginning of each semester. The implementation of this programme is discussed with the student's scientific adviser.

Participation in lectures etc. is, with prescribed exceptions, obligatory (and controlled by examinations). In addition to lectures (sometimes with exercises), there are seminars, laboratories and lectures outside the Institute (at a university, for instance). The second half of the studies is devoted to the preparation of the doctoral thesis.

The studies last four years. Post-graduate students of the regular studies obtain scholarships but must not work elsewhere. Every candidate has to pass admission exams in mathematics, foreign language (preferably - English) as well as in his field of specialization.
