While studying at the university you will be able to participate in courses conducted by prominent lecturers, make friends with Poles and succumb to the charms of Kraków, the most beautiful of Polish cities.
Excellent lecturers
Tischner European University employs world-famous professors lecturing not only at the best Polish universities but also at such well-known univerisities as: UC Berkeley, Cambridge, Columbia, Freiberg, Oxford, Vienna, and Bologna. Our university staff are successful in linking theories to their practical realities in business, diplomacy, media, local government and non governmental organisations.
Practice-oriented teaching system
Study at TEU is not just about academic theory, it focuses strongly on practical skills which will be of use in the workplace. The majority of classes have the form of workshops, seminars or laboratory classes; the University offers a wide variety of practical training sessions (also abroad).
Studying what's really important
TEU teaches the principles of public relations, the art of negotiation, how to run media campaigns, how to manage human resources, as well as how to use computer programs for data analysis and the procedures for gaining funds from the European Union.
Individual approach
Each individual student is important to us. Our university is not a giant factory, students cannot hide out of sight! TEU advocates modern teaching methods, the basis of which is the treatment of students as individuals. Two thirds of classes take place in small seminar groups and students can always seek their tutor's advice in case of problems or difficulties.
Academic development
We believe that education is not just about lectures and classes. Students should have the chance to focus on their own projects and develop a range of interests and ideas. At TEU, students may not only join the numerous student societies and clubs but also get involved in organising special events, often international in scope.
International Certificates
TEU students have a unique opportunity to gain internationally recognised language and IT certificates as the European Certificate Centre, TEU’s founder body, is located in the University’s main seat.
Advanced teaching system
Our students benefit from a modern technological system of student service. Time is not something we waste here but what we save. Students do not have to wait in a line to get the relevant information but simply use their digital Student ID Cards to enter the Virtual University, or log into their university e-mail adresses to check the news.
Career opportunities
TEU facilitates the entrance of its alumni into the highly competitive labour market. The TEU Career Office provides the students with all necessary assistance in choosing their future career or area of study; the highly individualised programme of studies make it easier for every student to develop his or her own potential; the diploma supplement with detailed descriptions of courses attended (in both – English and Polish), gives any employer a better view on the actual education of the individual.
Evaluation
Students at TEU are not just being evaluated but also get a chance to evaluate. They have a say on who teaches them and how they are being taught. Each term students are asked to fill in a detailed anonymous questionnaire on the quality of their education. In this way everyone is involved in maintaining high standards of teaching.
Magical Kraków
TEU is located in a city whose atmosphere encourages both study and entertainment. A wide variety of cinemas, theatres and museums are on offer as well as the possibility of meeting interesting new people; there are 120 thousand students in Kraków. With countless tempting cafes, bars and clubs there is little chance of getting bored!
