PhD studies are for people who possess a master degree or equivalent title. The doctoral programme of PhD studies allows the PhD students to obtain advanced knowledge of different aspects related to wide and coherent fields of electrical engineering. For example, courses focus on advanced aspects of electromagnetic field, methods and algorithms used in power electronics, algorithms of artificial intelligence, modern approach to electromagnetic compatibility, electric power networks and systems, lighting techniques, new sources of electrical energy, selected problems in control and optimisation of dynamic systems, new trends in optoelectronics, modern topics connected with optical fibres, nanotechnology. These courses intend to change students’ mentality for their future doctoral research. The dissertation project is the research study that is designed, conducted, and written by a PhD student. Students may pursue their doctoral studies under direct supervision of professors of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.

How PhD funding works in Poland

PhD positions in Europe are almost always funded through advertised research positions — not traditional scholarships. The university or research group pays you a salary or stipend to do your research. The key is finding an open position, not applying for a scholarship.

Search EURAXESS for open positions

EURAXESS is the official EU research jobs board. Filter by country and field to find funded PhD positions posted by universities.

Search EURAXESS
Check the university's open positions page

Go directly to Bialystok University of Technology's website and look for "Open Positions", "PhD Vacancies", or "Graduate School" — most funded positions are listed there first.

Email professors directly

Find professors at this university whose research matches your interest. A well-targeted cold email explaining your background and research interest is the most effective path to a funded PhD position.

Contact the graduate committee

Reach out to the department's graduate admissions or PhD coordinator. Ask specifically about funded positions and whether any research groups are currently recruiting.
