Graduating from the Doctoral School of the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) was an amazing experience that significantly shaped my academic and professional journey. The school provided exceptional support to international PhD students, ensuring a smooth transition from their home countries to Poland. The dedicated staff were always at the forefront, assisting us with both academic and personal matters. The Doctoral School offered us numerous opportunities for collaboration with other universities, enabling many students, including myself, to pursue joint doctorates with international institutions. Overall, my time at the Silesian University of Technology was instrumental in preparing me for the challenges and opportunities of my career, and for that, I’m greatly indebted to the Doctoral School.
