All of the applications are collected and evaluated by our teachers. Please note that if you have already been in contact with a selected teacher, it does not mean that you were automatically accepted. The application must be sent to the Erasmus+ Coordinator.

Language of the courses and required levels

It is recommended to have at least B1 knowledge of English to take part in classes. 

We provide a Polish language course, free of charge, for Erasmus students that want to start their journey with this extraordinary language (from A0 level).

However, please be aware that some of the courses at our Academy are offered only in Polish, as this is the official language of instruction, especially for group courses. To take part in such courses it is required to know Polish on the B1 level.

The courses you will take will be discussed after successful application and confirmed in the Learning Agreement signed before the start of the mobility.

The Academy does not have their own dormitories, but can apply in your name for a room in dormitories provided by the University of Wrocław, if available. Please contact us by email for details, and don’t  forget to write in your application form that you are interested in a room reservation.
