HIGHER EDUCATION IN POLANDPoland conforms to the guidelines from the Bologna Process in European higher education. The degree system based on the three-cycle structure has been successfully implemented together with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The European standard in higher education makes it easier for students to obtain recognition of their qualifications in other countries.

1st Cycle First-cycle studies (3 to 4 years) leading to the professional title of a licencjat or inżynier (Engineer, in the field of engineering, agriculture or economics). This is the Polish equivalent of the Bachelor’s degree. It is focused on preparing students for future employment or for continued education within the Master’s degree programmes. To obtain this degree, students must earn 180-240 ECTS credits.

2nd Cycle Second-cycle studies – Master’s degree programme (1.5 to 2 years) following the first cycle studies and leading to the professional title of a Master (magister, or an equivalent degree depending on the study course profile). It is focused on theoretical knowledge as well as application and development of creative skills. In artistic disciplines, the focus is on the development of creativity and talents. The Master degree holders may enter a doctoral programme (third-cycle studies). To obtain the degree, students must earn 90-120 ECTS credits.

3rd Cycle Third-cycle studies – Doctoral degree programmes (normally 3 to 4 years) accessible for graduates of Master’s degree programme, leading to the PhD degree, offered by the university type schools as well as some

The Students’ Self-GovernmentThe Students’ Self-Government has been working since 1999. Its pur-pose is to represent interests of students of the Angelus Silesius State School of Higher Vocational Education. The main task of the Students’ Self-Government is to care about the rights and privileges of students,

organize cultural and entertainment events and solve any students’ problems. The Self-Government par-ticipates actively in the management of the School, makes decisions in matters directly relating to stu-dents and represents the School outside (eg. during Juvenalia) and takes care of its image. It also gives opi-

nion on the granting educational and social scholarships, and awards for activities for the School. The Students’ Self-Government cooperates with School’s magazine "Humanistyczna Jazda”, and numerous organizations. It is present practically in all areas of academic life. Cyclic student parties, such as Otrzęsiny, Połowinki, Juvenalia, are organized by the Students’ Self-Government. In the students’ club, located in the Angelus Silesius State School of Higher Vocational Education, are held intimate evenings of art and meetings with authors.

"Humanistyczna Jazda” magazine“Humanistyczna Jazda” is a magazine independently created and published by our students. It has been an integral part of students’ life for nine years. Probably a big influence on its position at our School has a tradition of Polish Philology. It was a large group of enthusiasts of Polish studies who established a newspaper, giving it a unique form five years ago. “Huma-nistyczna Jazda” is a university magazine, distributed in the walls of our School and students’ life centers which reach not only scholars but also the professorial staff (who often read our articles with flushed face). For over a year, this independent students’ newspaper reaches also the inha-bitants of Wałbrzych through special inserts in the "30 Minutes". Thanks to this students’ journalists are present and recognizable throughout the city, and people who have nothing to do with the School can get to know

their texts. The newspaper offers the possibility to check not only the students' journalistic pen, but also enables them a poetic or literary debut.

TV “Zamkowa”A students’ organization bringing together people who want to learn what they will not learn in lectures, labs or seminars. Working for television enable development of interests, improvement of knowledge and allows meeting interesting people. The recipients of the programs are mostly stu-dents and residents of Wałbrzych, because TV “Zamkowa” programs are emitted in Cable networks of Wałbrzych. The number of people watching the recording is high and it motivates journalists to a proper work. Stu-dents have the opportunity to develop personal knowledge of the widely understood realization: they are trained both in the linear and non – line-ar assembly, as well as for cinematography, sound and editorial. Except the typical workshop students visit interesting places related to television and film work and participate in special workshops for students - journalists.
