Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw

On September 3, 1999, the Sejm, or the lower house of the Polish Parliament, enacted a law establishing a new university in Warsaw - the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University.
Since opening its doors, the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (or, UKSW for short) has steadily grown and is now comprised of seven faculties and twenty-four fields of studies.

The programmes are offered on a full-time (free-of-charge) and part-time basis. There are both continuous programmes leading to a graduate degree, as well as programmes leading to an undergraduate degree (Level one), and then to a graduate degree (Level two). UKSW also offers post-graduate and PhD programmes for those who aspire to improve their qualifications.
Our students can benefit from a study period abroad at more than 60 European universities as part of the Erasmus programme, as well as domestic study periods at 18 Polish universities as part of the Mobile Students Program, or MOST.
Apart from a wide educational offer, the students can also take an active part in a number of special interests groups, students organizations or student government. There is also a theatre and choir at the University.

Foreign nationals admitted to UKSW are obliged to attend classes in Polish as a Foreign Language, and to take an examination in Polish at a level set at A5 according to the language proficiency levels of ALTE, or C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The Polish classes are offered free of charge, and the students take them as part of their mandatory curriculum. The proficiency level in Polish for students who are foreign nationals is assessed on grounds of an interview or other tests. Depending on the results of the test or interview, students are enrolled in the classes at the appropriate level.
In addition, there is the "Polish Language and Culture" Summer School offered, on a fee basis, by the Institute of the Polish Language at UKSW. The classes are addressed both to foreign nationals with Polish roots, as well as individuals who do not have any family ties to Poland but are interested in the culture and history of the country.
Foreigners who wish to improve their Polish for professional or personal purposes will find them useful as well.
