Uchodźcy z Ukrainy rozpoczęli studia na UŁ

University of Lodz has started "Studies on Poland with English" study programme. The recruitment process was successful: 34 people applied for one of 25 available places, which gives 1.4 candidates per place. The launch of the studies this academic year has provided a chance to get educated to people who fled to Poland after the beginning of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

These are first-cycle studies that enable students to learn Polish from scratch and to deepen their knowledge of English. The lecturers of the University of Lodz, who specialise, among others, in glottodidactics, will prepare students in the area of two specialisations: teaching Polish as a foreign language and Polish language in tourism and business. Students from Ukraine will acquire language skills, as well as learn about Polish culture, history and literature.

The future graduates will be able to work as staff of language schools in Poland and abroad, cultural institutions, translation agencies, publishing houses and travel agencies. In the future, they will join teams in enterprises where employees communicate in Polish, English and Ukrainian.

In order to help students financially, the University of Lodz successfully applied for funds for scholarships financed by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange in the competition “Solidarity with Ukraine”. In the call for proposals, the University of Lodz obtained almost PLN 600 thousand to support the education of students and listeners of Polish language courses as well as writing doctoral theses by Ukrainian doctoral students. 

"Studies on Poland with English" study programme will also be available in the offer of the University of Lodz in the regular recruitment process, which will last until mid-July. The first inquiries about the possibility of joining this study programme are already coming in.
