The doctoral school is also a scientific workshop: not only do PhD students attend lectures and present papers on specific works, but they also undertake independent scientific activities, such as writing shorter publications or reviews, during which they are mentored – especially at an early stage. The programme’s participants hold discussions on their work, to which students and professors from other programmes are also invited. The nature of the scientific workshop is strengthened by the fact that individual programmes to some extent overlap; thus, the unity of linguistics represents the very essence of the doctoral school. Compulsory courses include an introduction to philology as well as general and theoretical linguistics courses. These are followed by more specialised courses related to the individual’s dissertation topic.
