Internet users studied the dissertation of Arkadiusz Myrcha, MP of the Civic Coalition, Deputy Minister of Justice. According to many internet users, the content is comparable to bachelor’s theses. “It is a 170-page bachelor’s degree, without any deeper reflection or contribution to science. It’s a shame that such PhDs are written in Poland,” wrote one of the netizens.
Arkadiusz Myrcha defended his PhD at the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw in April. His supervisor was Prof. Marek Chmaj, known for his sympathy for the Civic Platform. The title of the dissertation is ‘Legislative Procedures’.
Curious journalists and Internet users should look not only at the apartment, but also at the thesis of Deputy Minister Arkadiusz Myrcha, which was defended at SWPS University in April. Documents related to the procedure are public
– wrote a user named Adam Wodeham on the X website.
The Internet user saw the title of Arkadiusz Myrcha’s dissertation.
The PhD was supervised by Marek Chmaj, who needs no introduction. The title of the thesis was: “Legislative Procedure” (which is humorous in itself: it is as if a PhD in mathematics were entitled: “Functional Analysis” and in philosophy – for example – “Sentence Calculus”)
– he added.
Storm on the Internet
Arkadiusz Myrcha’s dissertation caused an avalanche of reactions on the internet.
Okay, I changed my mind. I forced myself to read this dissertation and it’s not even a master’s thesis. This is an undergraduate degree expanded to 170 pages, without any deeper reflection or contribution to scholarship. It is a shame that such doctorates are produced in Poland. My Scottish students write better theses
– wrote a user nicknamed “Piegziu”.
The discussion included the voices of household names.
I’ve read it too. Most of the text not marked as citation by the author is a 1:1 discussion of individual legal provisions, with the only change being a syntactic or lexical change (see: legal language and judicial language). I think I’ll open a few bibliographic entries and randomly compare them to the text
– said Prof. Michał Sopiński, Rector-Commander of the Academy of Justice.
The title of the thesis already indicates that something is wrong here
– noted Dr. Bartosz Rydliński op.
I felt nostalgic after reading Arkadiusz Myrcha’s dissertation. I immediately remembered the WOS quizzes, marked 3+.
– said Krzysztof Stanowski, journalist.
There is a debate going on online about the quality of the doctorate defended by one of the state secretaries of this cabinet. Not only the trivial statements quoted, but even the title of the work itself shows that nowadays you can defend anything as a dissertation, as long as you have the ‘right environment’. I refer back to the master’s thesis I wrote and defended at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in 2006: “Procedures for establishing Community law”. I had the ambition to write something original and profound, even at the expense of a lot of work and time
– said Law and Justice MP Szymon Szynkowski, also known as Sęk.
Perhaps Internet users do not understand the difficult circumstances in which MP Myrcha had to write his dissertation. Finishing a house near Warsaw, plus commuting to a rented apartment in the capital. It is, as he said, an hour’s journey there and back. There was simply no time to write a better thesis.
