Katowice, the heart of Silesia, has turned from an industrial city into a cultural centre, with the Silesian Museum built in a former mine, modern concert halls and the title of UNESCO City of Music. With the University of Silesia and the University of Economics in Katowice, it is an important student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Katowice. Programs at the University of Silesia and the University of Economics in Katowice are among the options.
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 Katowice 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.
