The academic year
The academic year is divided into two parts: the fall semester (October-mid February), and the spring semester (mid February-June). Each of them ends with the examination period. Teaching is given in the form of lectures, classes, seminars, laboratory classes and discussion groups.
The academic degrees
The polish universities offer two types of studies. One is organized according to the Bologna process and other is the combined 5-6 years long uniform Master’s deg ree.

I Cycle – Bachelor Obtained following the completion of 3-3,5 year-long vocational/technical college studies
II Cycle – Master Equivalent degrees: Master of Art, Master Engineer, Master Engineer Architect, qualified physician, dental surgeon or veterinarian. The MSc obtained following the completion of 2-2,5 years-long supplementary master's degree studies which may be taken by persons with a college diploma.
