Language classes

During your studies, you must attend language classes, i.e. classes in a foreign language. These classes will conclude with an examination that certifies your language proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This means that once you have passed the exam, you can present a certificate of your language level within the European Union. In the offer of the Study of Practical Foreign Language, you can choose from the following languages: English, German, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese. Sometimes the choice of language is imposed in advance – it depends on the field of study. During the adaptation days you have to write a placement test in your chosen language at least at B1 level. If you qualify below this level, you have to complete the knowledge on your own. If you qualify for a level higher than B1 (B2I or B2II), you start at the level for which you qualified. If you qualify for level C1I, you may be exempted from taking the course, but you are required to take the final examination at the required level (B2II). The result of the placement test is valid for three semesters.

Not all courses start lectures from the first semester of study. You can find out whether you will have to pass the test during the adaptation days and whether you will study a foreign language from the first semester onwards at www.spnjo.uni.wroc.pl. During your studies, you have to reach the B2II level of language proficiency. Depending on the mode and level of study, you have a different number of teaching hours in the foreign language concerned. You can find more details on the Study page.
