| General description of the programme: | The study programme of the International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy I degree has an interdisciplinary character. It is set in the field of political sciences, with particular emphasis on the international perspective. Students also learn about issues from the field of law, economics, sociology, history and psychology. The study profile is all-academic. Its main determinants are multidisciplinarity and multilingualism, a novelty in the didactic offer of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the University of Silesia. Compulsory classes are conducted in Polish and English. In addition, students learn the basics of French and Spanish with particular emphasis on specialist vocabulary in international relations, public administration and diplomacy.
The high level of linguistic competence is intended to enable the graduates to pursue a rewarding professional career in an international and intercultural environment. The main goal of the studies is to prepare graduates for employment in government administration, civil service, local government administration and, above all, in Polish diplomatic missions, international institutions and organisations, including European ones. The programme of the first cycle studies equips the graduates with multifaceted knowledge and competences in the field of social sciences and humanities, the ability to synthesise, analyse and critically interpret the surrounding political, social and economic reality, with particular emphasis on the relations between institutions in the European and international dimension. The aim of the graduate's education is to equip him/her with the knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning (self-education) in response to constantly changing criteria for effective professional work. Creative professional activities in an international environment also require ethical and intercultural awareness which is reflected in practical solutions. The study programme of the bachelor's degree in International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy equips graduates to face the challenges in the fields mentioned above and shapes the skills of making decisions and perceiving their consequences. The programme is the first of its kind offered to both Polish and foreign students. Within the programme, two specialisations are offered:
1. Government Administration and Diplomacy - modules conducted in Polish and English;
2. Leadership in International Relations - modules conducted entirely in English.
The study programme realises an optimal concept of combining theoretical and practical issues. Classes are taught by research and teaching staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Silesia and external experts, including specialists in political science, law, diplomacy, and international relations. Experienced professionals have the opportunity to become mentors for students of the course. Study visits to diplomatic missions and internships in institutions related to diplomacy and international relations are a key element of the programme realised within International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy. The necessity of preparing a graduate to work in an international environment is connected with the requirement of being able to speak foreign languages fluently:
1. English at B2+ level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe
2. French at the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level B1
3. Spanish at the level of proficiency B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe.
The knowledge of foreign languages should also include specialist terminology necessary for the profession. The bachelor's degree in International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy was created as a reaction of the academic environment of the University of Silesia to the needs resulting from the functioning of Polish diplomacy in the structures of the European Union. It is now necessary to prepare a cadre of young, optimally trained graduates who can support diplomatic representations and public administration units. |

The programme of the first cycle studies equips the graduates with multifaceted knowledge and competences in the field of social sciences and humanities, the ability to synthesise, analyse and critically interpret the surrounding political, social and economic reality, with particular emphasis on the relations between institutions in the European and international dimension. The aim of the graduate's education is to equip him/her with the knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning (self-education) in response to constantly changing criteria for effective professional work. Creative professional activities in an international environment also require ethical and intercultural awareness which is reflected in practical solutions. The study programme of the bachelor's degree in International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy equips graduates to face the challenges in the fields mentioned above and shapes the skills of making decisions and perceiving their consequences. The programme is the first of its kind offered to both Polish and foreign students. Within the programme, two specialisations are offered:
1. Government Administration and Diplomacy - modules conducted in Polish and English;
2. Leadership in International Relations - modules conducted entirely in English.
The study programme realises an optimal concept of combining theoretical and practical issues. Classes are taught by research and teaching staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Silesia and external experts, including specialists in political science, law, diplomacy, and international relations. Experienced professionals have the opportunity to become mentors for students of the course. Study visits to diplomatic missions and internships in institutions related to diplomacy and international relations are a key element of the programme realised within International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy. The necessity of preparing a graduate to work in an international environment is connected with the requirement of being able to speak foreign languages fluently:
1. English at B2+ level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe
2. French at the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level B1
3. Spanish at the level of proficiency B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe. | ||||
The specialisation trains experts in diplomacy and administration who will have specialist knowledge in this field. However, more importantly, the chosen specialisation students will experience a practical perspective, which is extremely important for specific governmental and diplomatic positions. It is a specialisation that proposes interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary knowledge, which is why students will have modules on it such as: History of Europe 1789-1945, European integration, French in International Relations, Spanish in International Relations, Debating Skills, French in International Relations, Spanish in International Relations, Psychology of Politics and Leadership, Public Diplomacy - research project, Administration, Diplomatic Protocol, Public Administration, Civil Service. This specialisation opens opportunities for useful development in the organisational structures of government administration and diplomacy; it is supposed to prepare graduates for work in local government administration, civil service, and above all in Polish diplomatic missions, international institutions and organisations, including European ones. Candidates learn French and Spanish during their studies. Candidate's knowledge of these languages is NOT required. | ||||

The study programme of the International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy I degree has an interdisciplinary character. It is set in the field of political sciences, with particular emphasis on the international perspective. Students also learn about issues from the field of law, economics, sociology, history and psychology. The study profile is all-academic.

Compulsory classes are conducted in Polish and English. In addition, students learn the basics of French and Spanish with particular emphasis on specialist vocabulary in international relations, public administration and diplomacy.

The study programme of the International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy I degree has an interdisciplinary character. It is set in the field of political sciences, with particular emphasis on the international perspective. Students also learn about issues from the field of law, economics, sociology, history and psychology. The study profile is all-academic. Its main determinants are multidisciplinarity and multilingualism, a novelty in the didactic offer of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the University of Silesia. Compulsory classes are conducted in Polish and English. In addition, students learn the basics of French and Spanish with particular emphasis on specialist vocabulary in international relations, public administration and diplomacy.
The high level of linguistic competence is intended to enable the graduates to pursue a rewarding professional career in an international and intercultural environment. The main goal of the studies is to prepare graduates for employment in government administration, civil service, local government administration and, above all, in Polish diplomatic missions, international institutions and organisations, including European ones. The programme of the first cycle studies equips the graduates with multifaceted knowledge and competences in the field of social sciences and humanities, the ability to synthesise, analyse and critically interpret the surrounding political, social and economic reality, with particular emphasis on the relations between institutions in the European and international dimension. The aim of the graduate's education is to equip him/her with the knowledge and skills necessary for lifelong learning (self-education) in response to constantly changing criteria for effective professional work. Creative professional activities in an international environment also require ethical and intercultural awareness which is reflected in practical solutions. The study programme of the bachelor's degree in International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy equips graduates to face the challenges in the fields mentioned above and shapes the skills of making decisions and perceiving their consequences. The programme is the first of its kind offered to both Polish and foreign students. Within the programme, two specialisations are offered:
1. Government Administration and Diplomacy - modules conducted in Polish and English;
2. Leadership in International Relations - modules conducted entirely in English.
The study programme realises an optimal concept of combining theoretical and practical issues. Classes are taught by research and teaching staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Silesia and external experts, including specialists in political science, law, diplomacy, and international relations. Experienced professionals have the opportunity to become mentors for students of the course. Study visits to diplomatic missions and internships in institutions related to diplomacy and international relations are a key element of the programme realised within International Studies in Political Science and Diplomacy. The necessity of preparing a graduate to work in an international environment is connected with the requirement of being able to speak foreign languages fluently:
1. English at B2+ level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe
2. French at the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages level B1
3. Spanish at the level of proficiency B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe. | ||||
The specialisation trains experts in diplomacy and administration who will have specialist knowledge in this field. However, more importantly, the chosen specialisation students will experience a practical perspective, which is extremely important for specific governmental and diplomatic positions. It is a specialisation that proposes interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary knowledge, which is why students will have modules on it such as: History of Europe 1789-1945, European integration, French in International Relations, Spanish in International Relations, Debating Skills, French in International Relations, Spanish in International Relations, Psychology of Politics and Leadership, Public Diplomacy - research project, Administration, Diplomatic Protocol, Public Administration, Civil Service. This specialisation opens opportunities for useful development in the organisational structures of government administration and diplomacy; it is supposed to prepare graduates for work in local government administration, civil service, and above all in Polish diplomatic missions, international institutions and organisations, including European ones. Candidates learn French and Spanish during their studies. Candidate's knowledge of these languages is NOT required. | ||||
