Thematic courses in Jagiellonian Language Centre are addressed to students who want to develop their language competences in a specific thematic area or work on specific language skills, such as speaking, writing, reading or listening. Most of the courses are designed for two semesters (60 hours) and can be completed in one of the following ways:

• using available tokens that students have, for example, after being exempt from the language course with an external certificate or having their grade transferred from a different course of study cycle;
• instead of a traditional foreign language course, but only for postgraduate and doctoral studies,

and at least 60 hours of the course (two semesters) have to be completed;

• in addition to a regular language course after purchasing the appropriate number of tokens (additional tokens can be obtained from the JCJ Office after paying the appropriate fee- as listed in the regulations of the Rector of the Jagiellonian University on  charges for educational services).

Language proficiency levels of the thematic courses offered are based on and in accordance with CEFR.

Registration for courses
Students register in USOS using available tokens.
