I attended the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw.
The course was Scandinavian Studies with Norwegian as major. The year I started my degree was the year they started the Norwegian leg of Scandinavian Studies at SWPS. Hence I didn’t expect it to be ideal. Truth to be told after graduating from SWPS I attended two different universities and none of them was as greatly organized as this one. The course was exactly what I expected or better – useful subjects, heavy on gaining language skills, political and cultural emphasis too. Professors mainly from Norway, and what’s important – from different regions of Norway which is important because we were able to get used to different accents. Professors were always for us, always reachable and willing to listen and help. I can’t really think of anything that was missing, maybe students that would give us some notes from past year haha – perks of being the first ever group of students at particular course 🙂 Absolutely recommend!!!
This is specifically about the English Studies BA program!!!!
My time at SWPS was genuinely great. I remember being very interested in all of my classes and thought they were taught with great enthusiasm and knowledge. I’ll definitely never forget Prof. Wisniewski, Prof. Gadomska, Prof. Tarnowska, and Prof. Komorowska-Janowska for such great lectures.
The level of English that my lecturers had, particularly in my program, was outstanding. As a native English speaker I felt comfortable understanding them.
In this course, everything felt well-organised and ran smoothly, especially when we switched to online-mode.
The only downsides of this university is of course the 480 hour internship, two semesters of cross training, and that the uni allows student’s with very poor English to make it into the third year. Yes, most students had great English, but I remember some who just couldn’t speak or write. I think the uni is setting these kinds of students up for failure.
Never less, the positive aspects of the English Studies program are of course the variety of different English subjects, the lovely cafeterias within and outside the campus, and the easy-going feeling of studying.

Materials are always provided. The university building isn’t that big. There are no many facilities where students can take their times and relax. Inside the building is very clean. Overall, it’s a good university to study.
