Studying in Polish
When applying to study in polish universities most of them will require the document which will confirm that your language proficiency is on the proper level, hence – the certificate:
– The certificate of Polish language proficiency issued through the State certification Commission;
– Certificate of accomplishment of a proper course. This can be a year-long course that prepares for studying at the university in the Polish-language program in establishments appointed by the minister of higher education. The time spent on studying at such a course is counted into the educational period for which the foreigner was accepted and throughout that time he/she has all rights of a student;
– The certificate which was issued through the university.
If you do not possess any of the mentioned certificates but you know Polish then you can take the test your university will offer you. If the result will be poor you’ll be obliged to take a Polish language course as an additional module during the first year of studies. That’s why you don’t have to worry if your language proficiency isn’t very high.
