Abstract

The article highlights a specific character of the educational process at universities in Poland. The features of the university admission campaign, a semester structure, the main types and forms of the full-time and part-time learning are clarified. The gradual gain of education at Polish universities is justified by the European scientific traditions: bachelor – master – doctor. The circumstances for expelling a student from a university have been studied. The differences between Polish and Ukrainian higher education systems are characterised. The system and types of evaluation of students’ academic achievements in foreign languages are analysed. Innovations in assessing students’ knowledge of foreign languages at universities in Poland include self-assessment, the use of computer technology, and portfolio. The peculiarities of the certification of students’ foreign language proficiency assessment at universities in Poland are determined. Polish universities are very open and attractive to Ukrainians due to their affordability, countries’ proximity, similarity of languages and the ample opportunities for learning Polish in Ukraine. The analysis of the theoretical sources of this problem indicates the conformity of the educational process at Polish universities with European requirements, the European credit system ECTS, which aims to take into account students’ achievements in mastering the educational program. Polish students have the opportunity to participate in international exchange programs or enter the universities in the European Union under the simplified procedure. The integration of Poland into Euro-Atlantic and European structures meets the latest requirements of modern European history and plays an important role in the processes of world integration and globalization.
