As many as five doctoral candidates working with the ASC faculty have gotten into the UW Doctoral School of Humanities.

Cultural and Religious Studies has accepted Joanna Kaniewska and Olga Gajek (to be supervised by Prof. Paweł Frelik) as well as Julia Płaczkiewicz (who will work with Prof. Tomasz Basiuk). Both Kaniewska and Płaczkiewicz have also been granted entrance to the Literary Studies so they are free to choose between the disciplines. The Literary Studies has also accepted Joanna Piechura-Velychenko who will work with Prof. Grzegorz Kosc, while History has granted entrance to Bruno Zwierz, the candidate of Prof. Sylwia Kuzma-Markowska.

This is in addition to Aleksandra Julia Malinowska (working with Prof. Karolina Krasuska) who has qualified to the Cultural and Religious Studies through an earlier special procedure linked to the NCN Preludium BIS grant.

Congratulations to all!
