University of Silesia - US Speciality : Modern Languages
programme: Business English

The University of Silesia has a lot to offer. There is a strong likelihood that the knowledge you acquired at the university will prove to be useful in your professional life. I know it from personal experience.

Of course, the impression you get is a sum of several factors. The situation may differ, depending on, for instance, one’s faculty. Mine is Business English and the classes are held in a very modern building and there are three cafeterias (the food is cheap and tasty). What I like the most about the Department of Philology is that we often organise various extracurricular events – such as Chinese Day or charity book sale.

However, one has to bear in mind that the departments are located in different parts of Katowice, or even outside the city. It can be a nuisance. What I don’t like about my department is the class schedule – it is a mess. Sometimes we have a three hours break, or there is only one class on Monday and five classes on Tuesday. However, this is a characteristic feature of only some of the departments, due to the high number of students.
