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.
