October 31st – day free from classes

Dear students,

At the request of the representatives of the student government, following consultation with the dean’s team, I decided to announce October 31st as a day free from classes and lectures at the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw

NOTE! This does not apply to classes conducted outside the faculty, such as OGUN, foreign language courses and sports.

I would like to remind you that, according to the academic calendar, November 10th is also a day free of classes.

Yours faithfully,

Elżbieta Jaskulska

Vice-Dean for Student Affairs
The Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw

Dear Students,

Allow me to provide you with the most important information concerning the rules of the certification examinations organised by the Coordinating Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages and Certification of Language Proficiency.

    • The offer of certification examinations organised by the Coordinating Council is divided into a basic offer (languages more commonly taught, primarily at B2 level) and an extended offer (languages more commonly taught at B1, C1 and C2 levels and languages less commonly taught at A2-C1 levels).
    • The exact offer of certification examinations conducted in the academic year 2025/2026 will be announced on 15 November 2025.
    • Registration is mandatory for certification examinations. Enrolment times have been shortened due to logistical measures. Please note the registration dates for the examinations, as once registration is closed, it cannot be reopened. Below are the registration dates for the 2025/2026 academic year:
      • examinations in the winter session: 12.12.2025 – 11.01.2026 (languages from the core offer)
      • exams in the winter semester revision session: 08.02.2026 – 14.02.2026 (B2 level English exam only, for those who received a failing grade during the winter session exams)
      • exams in the summer session: 30.04.2026 – 21.05.2026 (languages from the basic and extended offer)
      • exams in the revision session of the summer semester: 10.07.2026 – 14.08.2026 (languages from the basic offer and selected languages from the extended offer)
    • Each student has two tokens, which allow him/her to register for the certification examination (one token for the first attempt, the other for a possible “correction” attempt, at any time for the student within the designated examination sessions). If both tokens are used, the student must register for the repetition course. Registration and payment of the repetition course fee are a condition for receiving the next examination token. Below are the registration dates for the repetition courses:
      • registration for the repetition course before the examinations in the winter session: 11.12.2025 – 06.01.2026
      • registration for the repetition course before examinations in the revision session of the winter semester: 07.02.2026 – 10.02.2026
      • registration for repetition course before exams in summer session: 30.04.2026 – 22.05.2026
      • registration for the repetition course before exams in the correction session of the summer semester: 10.07.2026 – 10.08.2026
    • For the allocation of additional examination tokens, students should contact the coordinator of the University’s Foreign Language Learning System, MA Arkadiusz Misiak, at jezyki.koordynator@uw.edu.pl.

Detailed information on the rules for certification examinations can be found at http://jezyki.obce.uw.edu.pl under “Certification Examinations”.
