Semester and one-year courses for Erasmus+ and exchange students

The Centre for Polish Language and Culture in the World organizes a Polish language course every semester for foreigners who are studying in Krakow universities, as well as those who are trainees or PhD researchers.

The course lasts for one semester and consists of 60 academic hours (two about 113-minute meetings per week, equalling 5 academic hours per week), and offers classes at all levels (A1–C2). At the end of the course there is a written and oral exam. After passing the exam, the student receives 6 ECTS credits. The oral exam takes place during two additional hours which are not included in the 60 academic hours of the course.

In the 2019/2020 academic year, the cost of the course for students enrolled at the Jagiellonian University was 750 PLN per semester.

Classes are led by qualified teachers of Polish as a foreign language employed by the Centre for Polish Language and Culture in the World.
