Why UW? Reason no. 7: Foundation Year

The Foundation Year for secondary school graduates is an intensive programme aimed at improving language skills, as well as preparing candidates wishing to study in English at the University of Warsaw.

Why UW? Reason no. 6: Mobility programmes

Erasmus+ is the most renowned scholarship programme for students in Europe. During the last twenty years 25 000 students, doctoral students and UW’s employees took part in it. What many people forget though is that Erasmus+ offers not only a possibility of studying abroad for a semester or two, students can do their internships there too! UW students can also participate in other scholarship programmes, such as MOST, which enables them spending part of their studies in other Polish cities. 

Why UW? Reason no. 5: Languages, sports and culture

UW students can sign up for language courses and choose from 41 different languages to learn! After classes, they can join our sports and artistic organisations: they can play volleyball, surf, sing, dance, recite, go for mountain tour, or sail.

Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak elected the UW rector

On 17th June, the UW Electoral College elected Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak who will become the University of Warsaw rector in 2020-2024. He received 208 votes. There were three candidates: Prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, Prof. Paweł Strzelecki, and Prof. Andrzej Tarlecki.

NAWA Chair programme

The objective of the NAWA Chair programme is to support the highest quality scientific and research as well as didactic activities conducted by Polish academic and scientific units by including world-class foreign scientists in these activities.

WHY UW? Reason no. 4: Ability to change and adapt

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has set new challenges for the University of Warsaw. The dynamically changing situation and restrictions around the world meant that the University had to quickly adapt to the new reality. After several months of remote work, we can say that we were able to provide students with continuing their studies and support in almost every field.

Why UW? Reason no. 3: Social and business activity

To study at the University does not mean to resign from your plans about founding a firm or making a contribution to your community. Students of the UW are receiving grants to create an app, they are learning about offers of the first internship or job in the Careers Office, and are preparing integrative events for academic community within the confines of the Projekt Powiśle.
