THE EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM 

It was developed by the European Commission and is functioning within the Socrates/ 

Erasmus community educational programme. It allows for the recognition 

of studies abroad and facilitates the cooperation with the educational institutions of 

the European Union countries. A student may go to a partner institution abroad for 

a period ranging from one to three months. A student may be granted the scholarship 

of the Socrates/Erasmus programme only once, and first-year students are 

not eligible for the scholarship. During their stay at a partner institution, students 

retain all the scholarships granted to them by a home institution. 

The following documents are the basis for the proper functioning of the ECTS 

system in the inter-institutional exchange: 

DOCUMENTS 

The information package It is addressed to the students and teachers of the partner institutions. It covers 

the organization and the structure of studies, facilities, health care, insurance and 

the administrative procedures. The most important part is the detailed description 

and characterization of the subjects which are offered by a given department 

(specialization) together with the ECTS grading scale. Subject graded are those 

which are the integral part of studies (excluding Physical Education, language 

courses and partially the Pedagogical Unit). Subjects not included in the grading 

scale have the grades re-written. 

Learning Agreement The agreement is prepared prior to a student’s start of his/her studies abroad 

and covers the intended study programme to be taken by a student and the 

ECTS credits awarded for their satisfactory completion. The agreement is valid 

for all the parties who are obliged to sign it: the home institution, the partner institution 

and the student (often the ‘transcript of records’ must be attached – it describes 

the student’s learning achievements at his home institution). 

Transcript of records It describes all the classes (series of classes) which the student completed at the 

partner institution abroad and the ECTS credits awarded. The transcript of records 

is supplied by the receiving institution. The home institution recognizes the 

credits awarded to the student at other institutions in such a way that the credits 

awarded for the classes (series of classes) replace the credits which the student 

would get at the home institution during the comparable period of studies. 

ECTS credits They are the numerical value allocated to the course units. They describe the student 

workload required to complete the programme (lectures, classes, individual 

work, exams, etc.). The ECTS credits express a relative value. 60 ECTS credits 

represent the full workload of an academic year, and 30 ECTS credits a semester. 

The adequate number of the ECTS credits obtained by the student is the basis 

for completing the semester (year) of studies. The ECTS system does not eliminate 

the Academy grades which are used to evaluate the student’s knowledge.

POZNAN 

THE CITY ON THE WARTA RIVER 

The history of Poznan goes back to the 10 th century. At the early times of 

the Piast Dynasty – Mieszko I and Boleslavus the Brave (whose remains 

rest in the Poznan Cathedral which was built in the middle of the 11 th century) 

– the stronghold served as the prince’s seat. In 1253 Poznan was 

granted city rights. At the turn of the 13 th century, it was the residence of 

Prince Przemysl I, and of the Polish king Przemysl II. 

Good geographical location – on the East-West and North-South lines – influenced 

the development of the city – an important artisan and trade center 

(annual St. John’s Fair). During the years of the Renaissance, Poznan 

experienced its ‘golden years’ – getting richer and bigger. It was then that 

the townhall was erected (designed by Jan Baptista di Quadro, an Italian 

architect) as well as the building for the Lubanski’s Academy – the first 

higher education institution in the city. 

Starting from the end of the 18 th century, Poznan became dominated by 

the Baroque and classic-like buildings, mainly sacral, among them the 

magnificent buildings of the Jesuits’ Collegium. That school was an important 

research centre, and it offered such courses as: experimental physics, 

architecture, geography, history and ‘live languages’. Dynamic development 

of the city was suddenly interrupted in 1793 when the Wielkopolska 

Region was taken over by the Prussian State. 

Poznan, being in the Prussian partition, changed into a strong military 

fortified fortress. At the same time, it became a two-national city: Polish 

and German, where the native inhabitants (Poles) were discriminated politically, 

economically and culturally by the incoming Germans. The Posnanians 

opposed the Germanization process by starting on several initiatives 

in different areas of social life, for example the first public library was 

established (founded by Edward Raczynski), the Polish Theatre was built 

thanks to the public donations (until the present day there is an inscription 

on the fronton, saying: to the Nation – from the Nation). There existed 

scholarly, social and artistic societies, among them active singing circles 

which cultivated the native language in songs. Poznan returned to Poland 

following a military Wielkoposka Rising at the turn of 1918, i.e. after the 

World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. 

The interwar period was the time of prosperity and intensive development 

of the city, which was closely connected with setting up of the 

Poznan International Fair – the continuation of centuries old trade traditions. 

Poznan became also an important centre of intellectual life, no longer 

restricted by anti-Polish repressive measures. The Poznan University and 

The Poznan Conservatory of Music started their activities. Poznan of those 

years was often described in the press releases as “the Polish musical 

Athens” or “the musical capital of Poland” – it was all because of high level 

of musical culture, and outstanding activities of the opera house and vivid 

choir movement. 

During the World War II, especially during the fights for the Citadel, 55% 

of the city was destroyed. The reconstruction began in 1945 and the city 

was extended by new districts, more remote from the city centre (Rataje, 

Winogrady, Piatkowo).

Nowadays, Poznan, the capital of the Wielkopolska voyevodship, covers 

the area of 251,3 sq m and has about 600 000 inhabitants. It is one of the 

most industrialized urban area of Poland, a centre of business and international 

trade exchange, a region of vivid tourism and a city of science and 

culture. 

Poznan houses eight state institutions of higher education (the Academy 

of Economics, the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Academy of Music, the 

Academy of Agriculture, the Academy of Fine Arts, the School of Physical 

Education, the School of Technology, the A. Mickiewicz University), several 

private higher education institutions, a branch of the Polish Academy of 

Sciences, scholarly and research institutes, libraries. 

Poznan is outstanding in many areas of culture. There is the Museum of 

Musical Instruments – the only such museum in Poland. The National Museum 

presents unique exhibits of the Polish paintings from the 19 th and 20 th 

century, and of Spanish paintings. Fine arts artistic circles are also very 

active, presenting their works in numerous Poznan art galleries. The city 

theatre life is greatly enriched by the annual International Theatre Festival 

“Malta”, which presents street and alternative theatres from all over the 

world. 

The musical culture is also blooming, and it goes far beyond the Wielkopolska 

region. Every five years, there are international musical competitions: 

H. Wieniawski Violin, Composition and Violin-Making Competitions, 

F. Nowowiejski Organ Competition. Besides, there are numerous music 

festivals, such as International Choral Meetings “Universitas Cantat”, Contemporary 

Music Festival “Poznan Musical Spring”, Never Ending Festival 

“Old Music – persona grata”, Polish-German Hoffman Opera Festival, International 

Jazz Meetings “Era of Jazz”, and others. 

Poznan has a great concert hall (regarding acoustics) – the University 

Hall – a place for symphonic concerts of the Poznan Philharmonic, guests 

concerts and the presentations of the chamber music ( for example by 

“Amadeus” Orchestra), and choral music (for example by the boy and male 

“Poznan Nightingales” Choir). Posnanians love opera, so an important 

place for them is the S. Moniuszko Grand Theatre – one of the most important 

musical stages of the country. 

The musical image of Poznan is also enriched by the artistic activities of 

the I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music. 

THE ACADEMY 

YESTERDAY AND TODAY 

The Academy was established in 1920 as the State Academy and School 

of Music. Later (1922) its name was changed to the State Music Conservatory. 

The first director of the Academy was a composer Henryk Opienski, 

his successors between the WW I and WW II were: a cellist Zygmunt Butkiewicz 

(1026-1029) and a violinist Zdzislaw Jahnke (1930- 

-1939). Among the teachers were composers – Feliks Nowowiejski, Stanislaw 

Wiechowicz; pianists – Gertruda Konatkowska, Jozef Turczynski; 

singers – Maria Trampczynska, Michal Prawdzic; musicologists – Waclaw 

Gieburowski, Lucjan Kamienski; a contrabassist – Adam Bronislaw Ciechanski; 

a cellist – Dezyderiusz Danczowski.

The Conservatory was not only an appreciated teaching institution, but 

also an important concert centre in the Poznan of those years. In 1939 diplomas 

were awarded to 130 graduates, highly trained musicians of different 

specializations who had a profound influence on the Polish cultural 

life. 

After a six-year break, in October 1945, the Poznan music institution resumed 

its activities in its present premises in Sw. Marcin Street 87, and 

then in 1947 it was turned into the State Higher School of Music. The present 

name: the I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music has been in use since 

1981. The educational offer is now widened by the classes in the Szczecin 

Branch of the Academy, which was opened in 1961 (at the beginning as 

the Consultation Place). 

The position of rector was held by: again Zdzisław Jahnke (1945-1948), 

a musicologist Zygmunt Sitowski (1948-1951), a pianist Wacław Lewandowski 

(1951-1961), a choirmaster Edmund Maćkowiak (1961-1967), a 

musicologist and conductor Stefan Stuligrosz (1967-1981), a pianist Waldemar 

Andrzejewski (1981-1987), a choirmaster Stanisław Kulczyński 

(1987-1993), an oboist Mieczysław Koczorowski (1993-1999). Since October 

1999 the position has been held by a cellist Stanislaw Pokorski. 

The system is based – similarly to other Polish Academies of Music – on 

the faculty structure. In Poznan, apart from such specializations as composition, 

symphonic-opera conducting, choral conducting, theory of music, instrumentation, 

instrumental pedagogy, vocal performance and music education, 

one can also study eurhythmics, church music and artistic violinmaking 

– the only such specialization at the higher education level in Poland. 

The Academy has acquired considerable teaching importance by employing 

outstanding artistic personalities, among them such artist, as: conductors 

– Walerian Bierdiajew, Stanisław Wisłocki; pianists – Olga Iliwicka- 

Dąbrowska, Władysław Kędra, Raul Koczalski, Stanisław Szpinalski; 

composers – Florian Dąbrowski, Andrzej Koszewski, Stefan Bolesław Poradowski, 

Tadeusz Szeligowski; singers – Antonina Kawecka, Marian 

Kouba, Stanisław Romański, Irena Winiarska; violinists – Jadwiga Kaliszewska, 

Edward Statkiewicz; a percussionist – Jerzy Zgodziński. 

The I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music has delivered the title of Dr Honoris 

Causa to two splendid internationally renowned conductors: Jan 

Krenz (2000) and Stefan Stuligrosz (2002). 

The level of education may be proved by numerous awards and honours 

received by the Academy students and young academic staff at prestigious 

music competitions. To mention just a few: in 2001-2003 they were 

awarded in the cities of Aqua, Alessandria, Darmstadt, Haarlem, Koln, Milan, 

Moscow, Paris, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, Vienna and others. 

In years of 1945-2002, the diplomas of higher education were awarded 

to over 3000 graduates (in Poznan and Szczecin). Most of them have remained 

faithful to music; they perform as soloists, play in Polish and foreign 

philharmonics, operas and chamber ensembles, teach in music 

schools of all levels and in the schools of general education, work in different 

cultural institutions and music divisions of national and regional mass 

media. 

Presently, the Academy of Music educates over 700 students and employs 

231 academic staff members, 53 of them are professors.

Academy premises 

and teaching facilities 

The premises of the Poznan Academy of Music are located in 

Sw Marcin Street 87, in the centre of Poznan, close to the 

A.Mickiewicz Square. The building consists of two parts. The old 

building, the post-German Evangelical House taken over in 1945, 

of the area of 2510 square metres, did not satisfy the needs of 

the constantly growing institution. Therefore, in the 80s the decision 

of extension was made, and the competition for the design 

of a new building was announced. It was won by an architect 

Jerzy Gurawski. The erection of the building from the south-west 

side was commenced in 1994. The first part of the construction 

was finished in 1997, and the Pope John Paul II consecrated the 

new wing during his stay in Poznan. For the 80 th anniversary, in 

2000, the whole building was opened and the area was increased 

by 3450 square metres. 

The new building is distinguished by its beautiful elevation, representative 

frontage and modern architectonical shape which 

refers to the old part. The readers of “Gazeta Wyborcza” voted it 

the best building erected in Poznan in the last ten years. The 

Academy gained numerous classrooms, representative rooms, 

chamber and theatre hall, spacious canteen and a music shop 

which offers instruments, accessories, electronic equipment, 

books, schoolbooks, music magazines and music sheets. 

The redecorated rooms of the old building house a wellequipped 

library which has about 50 thousand music sheets and 

about 20 thousand books and valuable documents. Students and 

staff have access to the Listening Room, where they can get 

acquainted with about 10 thousand recordings. There is also the 

Recording Room with high quality digital equipment for recording 

and professional documentation of the Academy’s concert activities. 

Mastering the skills of modern composition techniques takes 

place in the Computer Music Studio with the high-tech equipment 

for the process of music creating and recording. 

The Szczecin Branch of the Academy is housed in the restored 

building in Grodzka and Kusnierska Streets. The area of 1837 

square metres satisfies the needs of two faculties: Faculty of 

Instruments – specialization in Instrumental Pedagogy and Faculty 

of Choral Conducting, Music Education and Church Music. 

Artistic and scholarly activities 

The Academy of Music is actively engaged in various artistic 

activities. To the Poznan music lovers, it offers the symphonic, 

chamber, choral, composition and vocal evenings, as well as the 

recitals – they take place either at the Academy or in the representative 

concert halls in the city. Among those arising special 

interests are many years long concert series such as: “Masterpieces 

of Chamber Music”, “Mondays at the Academy”, “Teachers 

and Students”, “Teachers and their choirs”, “Vocal Tuesdays”, 

“On Blacks and Whites”, “Summer Townhall Concerts”. Also 

opera performances organized by the Faculty of Singing and 

Acting have always been well received, in the last years, the 

students of the Faculty presented works of Cimarosa, Tchaikovsky, 

Mozart, Poulenc, Puccini and others. A lot of people turn up 

to listen to the concert series “From Students to Students” with 

the Symphonic Orchestra of the Academy, organized in cooperation 

with the Collegium of Rectors of the Poznan City and the A. Mickiewicz 

University. 

The Academy cooperates with the Poznan Philharmonic, the 

“Castle” Cultural Centre, Polish Dance Theatre – Poznan Ballet 

and the S. Moniuszko Grand Theatre. It participates in the concerts 

of the International University Choir Festival “Universitats 

Cantat”, the Festival of Contemporary Music “Poznan Music 

Spring” and such annual cultural events of Poznan as: The Science 

and Culture Days, Educational Offer for the Matriculation 

Examinees, Scholar Books Fair. 

The Academy organizes the following national music competitions 

for the students of the Academies of Music: 

■ J. Rakowski Viola Competition (cooperation: The H. Wieniawski 

Music Society) 

■ Choir Conductors Competition 

■ A. B. Ciechanski Double Bass Competition (cooperation: The 

H. Wieniawski Music Society) 

■ W. Kaminski Violin Making Competition 

■ Z. Jahnke Violin Competition (cooperation: The H. Wieniawski 

Music Society) 

■ D. Danczowski Cello Competition (cooperation: The H. Wieniawski 

Music Society).

The artistic and scholarly offer of the Poznan Academy is further 

extended by the master courses led by outstanding Polish 

and foreign musicians – composers: Daniel Gallay (Israel), Piotr 

Grella-Możejko (Canada), Krzysztof Meyer (Germany); musicologists: 

Jerzy Pikulik (Poland), Andrzej Tuchowski (Poland); a 

percussionist: Katarzyna Myćka (Germany); a pianist Andrzej 

Jasiński (Poland); a violinist Marina Jaszwili (Georgia); singers: 

Jerzy Artysz (Poland), Ryszard Karczykowski (Germany), Helena 

Łazarska (Austria), Jewgenij Nesterenko (Austria), Maria Pellegrini 

(Italy), Jadwiga Rappe (Poland); James Thompson (the 

USA). 

Conferences, sessions, seminars and symposiums organized 

at the Academy cover a wide theme spectrum – from the musicological 

and theoretical music issues (e.g. Polish culture of the 20 th 

century, music culture of the 20 th century Poznan, Ignacy Jan 

Paderewski, Gregorian chant – tradition and the present day), 

through the performance issues (e.g. elements of piano improvisation 

in the liturgy practice, vocal phrase expression from the 

Baroque to the present days) to the eurhythmic issues (e.g. 

therapeutic eurhythmics, music and movement as methods of 

feeling and emotion expression). 

The Publishing House of the I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music 

which offers books, music sheets and records, has intensified 

its activities since 1999. 

The publishing offer lists several books, including a publication 

Ignacy Jan Paderewski. An artist in the world of culture., two 

volumes devoted to violin-making Acoustic issues of the violin- 

making, publication dedicated to the Academy for its 80 th anniversary 

Homines, Ars et Scientia, a volume Raul Koczalski starting 

the series of “Biographies”. Five books were published in the 

series of “Musica Practica-Musica Theoretice”, including collective 

works: Musical work. Studies and monographs; Mickiewicz 

and music. Words-sound-contexts as well as Polish culture in the 

20 th century and On the drama of absurd marked with schizophrenia 

by Monika Jazownik, Rhetoric concept of Bach’s St. 

Matthew Passion by Anna Kisiel. Among the interesting proposals 

are the interdisciplinary works, for example: Dictionary of 

musical myths by Andrzej M. Kempinski, Analogy and music. 

From the philosophical issues of music by Hanna Kostrzewska, 

Michal Sobeski. Aesthetic views by Zofia Wojciechowska. Nine 

music sheet publications of works of Jan Astriab, Miroslaw Bukowski, 

Fryderyk Chopin and Florian Dabrowski were published, 

as well as scales and passages for double bass by Piotr Czerwinski. 

Besides, nine CDs were recorded – they contain the 

works of Jan Astriab, Wojciech Kilar, Zbigniew Kozub and 

Stanislaw Moniuszko with the choir and orchestra groups of the 

Poznan Academy.

VOCAL PERFORMANCE 

6-YEAR (STARTING FROM 2003/2004 

5-YEAR) GRADUATE STUDIES 

The Faculty of Vocal Performance and Acting 

offers the programme which prepares students 

for the solo performances in music theatres. 

During the solo singing classes, they learn and 

perform the works of the opera, oratory and 

cantata, and song repertoire. 

In addition to the music courses, they participate 

in courses dealing with acting and 

stage movement, which after the third year 

finish with a theatre performance exam. 

Every year students prepare and present two 

opera performances, which are shown to public 

also outside the Academy, and which are 

met with great interest and critical appraisal. 

The students are obliged to attend a twoyear 

course at the Pedagogical Study Centre, 

the completion of which enables them to start 

a teaching career. There is also a course of 

“Marketing and cultural animation”, which 

gives the graduates the skills of management 

and promotion of culture (music). 

The practical part of the master exam consists 

of two recitals. In the first part, the student 

must perform a series of songs or selection 

of songs of one composer, and the arias 

from the Baroque ones to the early Mozart’s. 

The other recital consists of the presentation 

of the stylistically various arias and song from 

Mozart to modern times. The theoretical part 

consists in writing a paper connected with the 

specialization.
