What is the difference between a doctor and a doctor habilitated?
To become a doctor or a doctor habilitated, one must follow the same path; that is, one must complete a third-level degree and defend a doctoral dissertation. Habilitation follows upon obtaining the doctorate degree. It signifies the right to teach independently at universities, to promote candidates for the conferment of academic degrees, and to review dissertations. The degree of doctor habilitated is the highest academic degree in Poland. Upon obtaining this degree, one can apply for the title of professor.
Who can become an habilitated doctor?
Anyone who links their professional career to złthe university and already holds a doctorate can be appointed as a doctor habilitatus. This involves increased scientific work, but also the satisfaction that comes with it.
Can a doctor with a habilitation degree use a student ID card?
The student ID card is dedicated to students of the first, second and third degree. A doctor habilitatus is no longer a student, but an academic teacher. Therefore, he cannot hold a student ID card. He may, however, start collecting ELS holograms. Every student must collect stickers on their ID card every semester for it to be valid. A doctor habilitatus may collect stickers for collecting purposes. The stickers are unique because they are issued in series, which means that their quantity is limited. Each edition of the ELS holograms is different, varying in font size or the color of the paper, giving each locker an original touch.
