Kraków, Poland's former capital, was one of the first cities on the UNESCO list, with Rynek Glówny, one of Europe's largest medieval squares, Wawel Castle and the Kazimierz district. With Jagiellonian University, founded in 1364, and a large student population, it is a lively city of culture.

Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Language levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Kraków depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
