Polish module

The Polish Module at Cracow University of Economics is a one-year, non-degree programme taught in English, intended to give students a working foundation in Polish language and vocabulary before they begin bachelor's or master's studies, or start a professional career, in Poland. It is aimed at participants with no prior knowledge of Polish or only a basic level, and by the end of the programme, participants are expected to reach at least B1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The module is often used as a preparatory step for students planning to continue at Cracow University of Economics for regular degree studies. Candidates can choose between two tracks: a full programme of more than 700 teaching hours, covering general Polish language, business Polish, English language, and mathematics, or a basic programme limited to general Polish instruction. Students who choose the basic track have the option to add extra courses in English, business Polish, or mathematics alongside their core language study. Language preparation programmes of this kind typically combine grammar and vocabulary instruction with conversational practice, cultural orientation, and academic Polish relevant to university coursework, helping international students adjust to both the language and the study environment before committing to a full Polish- or English-medium degree. Based in Kraków, one of Poland's major academic and cultural centres, Cracow University of Economics positions this module as an entry point for students who want to build language competence and familiarity with Polish life before pursuing further education or employment in the country.
