Financial Support

In accordance with regulations mandated by national law, all of our students are financially supported by the the parent Institutes – NCBJ and ICHTJ as well as various research grant awards.

The monthly stipend is paid over a period of maximum 48 months and is not subject to income tax. The actual amounts vary depending on the sources of funding. For students pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Physics the minimum amount is set at PLN3700 per month (currently this comes to PLN3250 after deductions). Following a positive evaluation after 2 years of study this minimum is raised to PLN5341).

The School does NOT cover the cost of health insurance for students from outside the EU. The monthly cost of health insurance with the Polish state-run health insurer (NFZ) is under 50 PLN. There are also many private options. EU citizens will be covered, but they need to obtain an E104 form from the insurers in their home countries.

We strongly encourage and support applications for external funding through projects related to the chosen area of research.
