The International Relations in Polish Program - Collegium Civitas

BA and MA Programs in English
These programs should be considered
by international students and foreign
nationals living in Poland as well as Poles
planning careers in international
organizations, research and business,
which require a good command of written
and spoken English. English has become
the international language of the social
sciences and is now invaluable
for a successful professional career
and for making scholarly contributions.
The studying of social and political sciences
requires a firm grasp of current literature,
most of which is available only in English.
No social scientist or international relations
analyst is able to succeed without the ability
to write clearly and engagingly in English.
We believe that the best strategy to meet
these challenges is to study in English,
rather than trying to master the English
language as an entirely separate endeavour.
Programs are offered exclusively in English
or in a combination of Polish and English
language classes. Intensive courses
of Polish as a foreign language are available
to international students.
Even more importantly, the ongoing
transition and democratization
in Central and Eastern Europe,
as well as the eastward expansion
of the European Union, are of key
significance to social and political
sciences and to the future
of the EU and its eastern neighbours.
Studying these processes in the heart
of the region and from the foremost
experts in the field is therefore a logical
choice. As a member of the European Credit
Transfer System, all credit points earned
at Collegium Civitas can be applied towards
a degree at other European universities
which have also adopted the ECTS.

The people have been so friendly in Collegium, helping
us with any queries – big or small, that we have
had. Nothing has been done as a duty but always
with good will and a smile. The students have been
wonderful and we have made many great friends here,
who we hope will visit us some time in Ireland!
All our professors have been more than willing
to accomodate us in any way that they could,
and answered any questions that we may have
had with great enthusiasm. The small community,
almost family like, atmosphere of Collegium makes
us feel right at home, and that we are a part
of the University even though we are only here
for a short time.

Collegium Civitas is the first university in Poland that
included studies in English to the programs it offered.
Due to a relatively small number of students,
the contacts with instructors are better and more intense,
as are the contacts with the Collegium Civitas
authorities. What I treasure most in Collegium Civitas
are opportunities of participating in many valuable
and fascinating events and of making use of various
internships, which will render the start in my professional
career easier. Had I had to choose again, I would have
chosen the same university – Collegium Civitas.
Kasia Broniarek, Collegium Civitas student
In the third grade in high school I became a laureate
of the Olympiad on Poland and Contemporary World.
A year later I won the Collegium Civitas Student Book
competition and received a scholarship from this
university. Due to participation in the Olympiad
I was enrolled on Political Science at Warsaw University
without entry exams. At the same time I began to study
International Relations at Collegium Civitas.
In a few months I came to a firm conviction that
if you wanted to pursue political and social studies
you’d better go to Collegium Civitas. In Collegium
Civitas, if you are interested in your university, your
university is interested in you. That’s all.
Maciej Duszyński, Collegium Civitas student
There are lots of reasons to praise Collegium Civitas.
To begin with, this School embraced me and my religion
with open arms; it made special accommodations
for me so I was able to get education without
any disruptions in my religious practices. I am glad
I selected this School and recommend it highly to others.
