The summer program offers a wide range of opportunities. Students can attend the program in either July or August and they can register for courses ranging from 2 to 8 weeks in length. It is also possible to select courses of different levels of intensity ranging from 5 to 8 hours* daily.
Additionally, all courses offer a variety of cultural and social activities such as sightseeing in Lublin, and day trips to picturesque places in the Lublin region, to the capital Warsaw or to interesting places along Poland's eastern frontier. Students are given a unique opportunity to meet with celebrities of Polish cultural and political life and see some of the masterpieces of Polish art and architecture. These trips and events are included in the course fee.
Language classes are held in groups of no more than ten students to facilitate individual attention and active participation.

Semi-Intensive Course 9:00 to 13:30, 25 hours* per week
This course is for students who want to acquire or develop the linguistic skills necessary for communication in everyday situations and that would constitute a solid base for further study of the Polish language.

Highly Intensive Course 9:00 to 13:30 and 15:00 to 18:30, 37 hours* per week
Beyond the Intensive Course program, students on this course receive an extra four hours per week of one-to-one tuition.
