European Public Diplomacy - full time studies

Recruitment rules for candidates with a Polish diploma (with a degree from a Polish university)

 

1. Candidates with a graduate degree in a field assigned to the discipline of “political science and administration” will be qualified on the basis of their grade point average in the course of study.

The final score of the qualification procedure, expressed on a scale of 0-100, is calculated according to the following formula:

 

W = s*20

 

where:

W - final result of the qualification procedure,

s – grade point average over the course of study.

 

2. Candidates who do not have a degree in a field assigned to the discipline “political science and administration” will be qualified on the basis of an entrance exam conducted in English, during which the candidate's general knowledge of European public diplomacy will be tested and the motivation to study in this field will be assessed. The faculty will formulate detailed examination theses, which will be published on at least one website among those available at: https://wse.uksw.edu.pl, https://uksw.edu.pl/kandydaci, https://irk.uksw.edu.pl.

 

The final score of the qualification procedure, expressed on a scale of 0-100, is formed by converting the score on a scale of 2-5 into qualification points according to the following table:

 

Rating (2-5 scale)	Qualification points
2	0
