Abstract
The chapter investigates doctoral supervisors’ experiences of doctoral examination at Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland). Jagiellonian is the oldest and ranked the best Polish university. In the last few years, the university has been undergoing a process of internationalisation, which means that the amount of international staff and students (including PhD candidates) is significantly increasing. The chapter examines the expectations and standards of PhD supervision, as well as the process of examination and compares the preceding system with the current one where doctoral studies are organised within doctoral schools. Our research demonstrates that the process is more internationalised but also more formalised than it used to be. However, although a significant part of the programme is run in English the PhD process continues to have features characteristic of the Polish system and local academic tradition.
