While there is no language prerequisite for this program, students study basic Polish at the Jagiellonian University. Students then participate in a short study tour of Northern Poland before beginning classes at the Jagiellonian University. Early in October, students begin regular classes at the university. At Jagiellonian University, students attend some classes with other international students. A surcharge applies to this class dependent on enrollment.
Travel is by train and bus.
During the tour, housing is in hostels and dormitories. While at the Jagiellonian University, students live in an international student residence, which houses both Polish and foreign students. This fee covers round-trip international airfare, the study tour, Polish academic excursions, room and board at the Jagiellonian University and some museum entrance fees. Program fees are based on actual costs of the prior year and projections for the current year. Inflation and fluctuating exchange rates make it impossible to state a fixed cost.
