Orientation Week is organised one week before each semester. Students from Erasmus Student Network prepare a variety of events to welcome new exchange students and help them in their first days.

Every foreign student has her/his Mentor (also called a "Buddy") who would pick them up from the airport or railway station and help with accomodation.

The program of Orientation Week usually includes info meetings, a course of "Survival Polish", city rally game, visit in a coal mine or Tyskie Breweries, and a lot of integration events and parties.

At the end of Orientation Week there is a Global Village - a party during which representatives of each country present their typical national costumes, food, sweets, drinks, songs, dances etc.

Orientation Week is a great opportunity to get to know Poland and Silesia better and integrate with all the students. Get ready for great adventure!

Integration Week for full-time international students (both Bachelor's and Master's degree) is organised one week before inauguration of a new academic year.

During the Integration Week there is an official welcome ceremony hosted by the Vice-Rector, visits at the Silesian Museum, coal mine and as well as many integration games and parties.

At the end of Integration Week full-time students join exchange students from all over the world during a Global Village and present their traditional costumes, food, drinks etc.
