English + an oriental language = a global career advantage.
If you want to achieve advanced proficiency in English and, at the same time, learn an oriental language, choose English Philology with an Oriental Language. This programme combines practical language training with intercultural knowledge, preparing you for work in international and multicultural environments.
Students can choose one of three oriental languages: Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The launch of a particular language pathway depends on the number of applicants choosing that language.
Why choose this degree?
English remains the leading language of international communication, business, education, media, and technology. At the same time, Asian countries play an increasingly important role in the global economy, culture, and innovation. Combining English with an oriental language creates a unique linguistic profile that opens doors to diverse international career opportunities.
Graduates of this degree can work as:
In line with the new requirements for visa applications introduced by Polish consulates around the world, candidates applying for a student visa are now required to submit a document confirming their eligibility to apply for a bachelor’s degree (first-cycle studies), issued by the Polish Education Superintendent Office (in Polish – Kuratorium Oświaty). Previously, this document could be provided after arrival in Poland, but under the new regulations, it must be submitted along with the visa application. The procedure for master’s degree candidates remains unchanged.
While the new requirement may slightly extend the visa process, the UAFM is fully prepared to support bachelor’s degree candidates throughout this period. To ensure there are no disruptions to their education, candidates who cannot arrive in Poland before the start of classes will be able to participate in lectures online via MS Teams.
