  Incoming Students

Dear Erasmus Students,

Thank you for your interest in studying at the Faculty of Economic Sciences. If you are planning to apply for a placement at our Faculty as an incoming Erasmus+ student, the first thing you need to do is to contact your Erasmus+ Coordinator at your home university and discuss your candidacy with them. We can only accept incoming students for the areas of studies specified in bilateral agreements between universities. Please check with your local International Relations officers to which universities and to which faculties of these universities you might travel during the next academic year. Subsequently, they will nominate the students that will be coming to us. After confirming the receipt of the nominations we send an email to the partner university and to the students, providing further information related to the application procedure.

Academic Grading System

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system that is based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of the program.

Students' results are documented through the issued grades. The following grades are valid in the Polish grading system:

  • very good: 5
  • good plus: 4.5
  • good: 4
  • satisfactory plus: 3.5
  • satisfactory: 3.0
  • unsatisfactory: 2 (subject failed)

During the stay at our Faculty, the student chooses the subjects that will allow him to obtain a minimum of 30 ECTS points for a semester stay or 60 points for a one-year stay.

ECTS credits will be awarded after obtaining grades in selected subjects. These points represent the amount of work done by the student.
