Transferable Skills of PhD Students in Law in Poland: The 2018 Reform in the Context of European Trends. A Case Study at Jagiellonian University

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the development of transferable skills (also referred to as soft skills) within doctoral legal education programs in Poland, considering broader European trends and with particular emphasis on the 2018 reform of doctoral training. These competences – including communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and project management – are now essential for researchers working in diverse and interdisciplinary professional environments. Despite their growing importance, efforts to support their development in Poland remain uncoordinated and fragmented. The article illustrates this issue through a case study of the evolution of legal doctoral programs at the Jagiellonian University before and after the reform, highlighting the limited extent of a systemic approach to fostering transversal competences. To gain a deeper understanding of the current state of the Polish model of doctoral education in law and possible directions for its development, the study employs qualitative analysis of program documents, legal acts, educational materials, and content analysis.
