1. The Faculty of Polish Studies: Introduction

The Faculty of Polish Studies is one of the largest Languages and Literatures faculties in Poland, and has consistently been ranked among the leading ones. Its history can be traced back to the founding of the University of Warsaw in 1816.

Today, the name of the Faculty of Polish Studies tends to be associated with the study of Polish language and literature. There is, however, much more going on at the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Polish Studies.

Our research and teaching  areas include Polish culture, the Western and Southern Slavic languages, literatures and cultures (Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian), Baltic studies (whose focus is on the Lithuanian and Latvian languages, literatures and cultures) as well as Classical Philology (i.e., the study of the literature and languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans). We furthermore contribute to  cultural studies, media studies, speech and language therapy, the theory and practice of the Polish Sign Language and teaching Polish as a foreign language.
