Polish
1. Placement
At the Institute of Slavic Studies, no separate placement test is required. Ms Patyk-Hirschberger (Polish teacher at the Institute of Slavic Studies) checks the students’ language level in the first language learning seminars and grants exemptions from attending as appropriate.If you have prior knowledge of a language to be studied on an LSK course, a placement test is compulsory. It takes place at the start of the semester. You can find the latest information on the LSK pages.
2. Module allocation
For the elective module in Polish, EuroS students may attend the language learning seminars at the Institute of Slavic Studies. Courses at the Languages and Cultures Teaching Centre (LSK) can also be used, especially for the Breakthrough I, Waystage II, and Threshold I (CEFR A1, A2 and B1) modules.
The language course attendance requirement for each module is 4 hours per week for one semester (4 SWS), either as a double course (e.g. Polish language learning seminar [SLS] 1.1/1.2) or as two separate courses. Please note that if two separate courses are taken, only one of the two examinations (oral or written) can be taken.
