The Individual Interdisciplinary Studies (ISM) academic year was officially inaugurated on Monday, October 2, 2023, at the Faculty of Neophilology.

ISM Director prof. dr hab. Slawomir Leśniak welcomed the new ISM students to the University of Gdańsk community. Among the guests were senior students who shared their experience of studying within the framework of Individual Interdisciplinary Studies.

During the inauguration, there was also a meeting with the Deputy Director of the Centre for Didactic Improvement and Tutoring, dr Beata Karpinska-Musiał, who talked about the role of tutoring in the educational pathway and the advantages of such a mode of education. The meeting was also attended by dr hab. Anna Chęćka, prof. UG, who, together with prof. Sławomir Leśniak told the students about the characteristics of ISM and answered their questions.

This year is special for the Individual Interdisciplinary Studies (ISM) – thanks to the widening of the fields of study that students can choose within this mode of education, the previous Interdisciplinary Individual Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences have been expanded to include a category of science and natural sciences. As a result, the ISM offers even more opportunities for students opting for an individual and interdisciplinary study organisation.
