Additional Language Classes
What are additional language classes?
The university organizes additional, individual foreign language classes for those who, due to difficulties arising from special needs, require additional learning and bridging gaps with the current material covered during their studies. The classes are held individually, twice a week for 90 minutes (two academic hours), a total of 60 hours per semester.
In exceptional cases, a 30-hour course can be requested from the Head of the Accessibility Department. To do so, please send an email (renata.forycka@pwr.edu.pl) with a proper justification.
Languages available in individual classes are taught at the Foreign Language Center at PWr: English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish.

There is no specified frequency for using the service, but please note that recruitment is carried out according to the following criteria.

- Next, priority is given to students and doctoral candidates who wish to improve their language skills necessary for work, internships, or practice.
- Lastly, available spots will be given to students and doctoral candidates going abroad for studies or internships.
Other students and doctoral candidates with disability certificates or other medical or specialist documents will be accepted based on available spots.
