From October 2025, Poznan University of Technology offered language courses for administrative staff and academic teachers. The courses were delivered as part of the project “Cooperation and Education within the EUNICE Alliance”, funded by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) under the programme “Support for European University Alliances”.
The teaching content and educational framework were developed by lecturers from the Centre for Languages and Communication, who conducted the courses using their own original teaching materials.
During the winter semester, employees could participate in the following courses:
English, B1 level – taught by Maria Szaefer, MA, and Marta Zakrzewska, MA
Business English for Projects and Research, B2 level – taught by Aneta Antokolska, MA, and Nuala Mederski, MA
English for Informal Meetings, B2 level – taught by Izabela Cichocka, MA, and Justyna Połomka, MA
English for Teaching in an International Environment, B2 level – taught by Edyta Olejarczuk, PhD, and Małgorzata Bączyńska, MA
The courses attracted significant interest from both administrative staff and academic teachers at Poznan University of Technology. After the courses concluded, the organisers received numerous positive evaluations from participants. Selected comments include:
