Overview

Short description
The aim of this MA program is to prepare students to become well-trained specialists in Polish philology. Students participating in this MA program acquire comprehensive knowledge of Polish literature from its early period to our age in a European context, as well as extensive knowledge of Polish grammar and the history of the Polish language. Moreover, they get acquainted with the latest linguistic theories, sociolinguistics, textology, lexicology, stylistics and phraseology. Developing both oral and written proficiency in Polish is an important component of our program. The program ends with the preparation of a degree thesis on a chosen subfield of Polish philology.

The MA program consists of a basic common component compulsory for everybody (60 credits) and an optional specialisation (22 credits).

This program is recommended to applicants who take a vivid interest in Polish language and literature and wish to work in an area that requires Polish language skills and is related to Polish culture. Note that the program does not offer teaching qualifications.

This program enables students to work as specialists of Polish philology in the economic, cultural, political or social fields. There are many opportunities for young professionals speaking Polish at a high level and understanding Polish culture as well as the historical, economic and social trends in contemporary Poland.
