Year Round Program
This intensive study course, available to students at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, is designed for those seeking to achieve versatile communication skills and develop a thorough understanding of Polish language and culture, and is especially for those who require fluency in Polish for professional or academic purposes. On completion of the course, participants should be able to master the Polish language sufficiently to begin university studies or work in Poland.
- The course begins in October each year and runs for two academic semesters.
- Classes are held for 23 to 25 hours per week* in Polish.
- Students work in groups of no more than ten, allowing them to enhance their comprehension and improve both oral and written expression.
- Lectures by specialists in Polish art, literature, history, and social issues, along with opportunities to engage in the cultural life of Lublin, help students gain insight into Polish culture and traditions.
The course begins with an "ice-breaking" trip to Kazimierz Dolny, a picturesque 17th century town near Lublin and home to many artists.
At the end of the academic year there is a trip to an attractive town in Poland (Zamość) .
The trips, as well as the performances, concerts and cultural events organised during the course are an excellent opportunity to integrate a group of participants who share a common passion for learning about Poland and the Polish language.
* In the Polish educational system one academic hour equals 45 minutes.
