Our Centre specializes in international education. We run preparatory courses to all levels of study: undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral, and to almost all academic subjects through one of four routes: Science & Technology, Economics & Business, Arts & Humanities, and Architecture & Urbanism.
We are one of a few in Poland renowned preparatory units for international students to which the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) directs their scholarship holders. Each year, over 150 foreign students take up preparatory courses at our Centre. Most of them are awardees of the state-sponsored scholarships.
However, we offer our course to all foreigners planning to study in Poland. After completing the preparatory courses, ICE CUT graduates can apply for a degree program in their subject area. Some of them stay at Cracow University of Technology, others continue their studies at other leading universities in Poland.
We offer preparatory courses for studies in the Polish language. Our courses will prepare you in terms of language, but also study skills, and the equalization of competences to study the subject of your choice. We also will help you learn more about studying in Poland as an international student, learning more about the country, its history and culture, and adapting to life in your adopted country.
