WSZ in Nysa has developed Erasmus cooperation with a number of partner universities abroad.

Thanks to it, our students have an opportunity to study for as long as a year at selected universities in Spain, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Norway, Romania, and Turkey.

OUR STUDENTS ABOUT US

Ulyana Mykhaylyuk

I

n my opinion, PWSZ in Nysa is a prime example of a good educational institution. Its lecturers are professionals who have an individual approach to every student.

They give their hearts to each student, always willing to devote a few minutes of their personal time to help.

Another advantage of studying in Nysa is its cultural life. The University of Applied Sciences in Nysa organizes many cultural events in which students can participate. PWSZ in Nysa is a wonderful institution

B

etween many options, I decided to choose Poland for studying abroad. Erasmus is a great opportunity for travelling, and Poland’s location is perfect for that, as the country is in the middle of Europe.

Moreover, Nysa is a nice city, and if you want, there are a lot of things to do. The university here is fantastic, because there aren’t many people in class, which means that teachers can help you individually. Also, I have great classmates and teachers that make me

And something more‌ STORYTELLING

S

torytelling is a natural way of exchanging people’s experiences. Storytelling involves a twoway interaction between a storyteller and one or more listeners.

The responses of the listeners influence the telling of the story. In fact, storytelling emerges from the interaction and cooperative, coordinated efforts of teller and audience. Storytelling workshops are addressed to students and primary and middle school teachers. Thanks to these workshops the students and teachers will have a chance to improve their English teaching skills.

VOCATIONAL PRACTISE

D

uring the vocational practice the students get familiar with the functioning of a company, develop further their linguistic and translational skills as well as business-related knowledge.

Among other things, students are introduced to a variety of company documents, the processes and procedures applied in the functioning of the company etc. They deal with the tasks in which they can make use of their command of English, e.g. making telephone calls, collecting information from the press, the Internet and other mass media, writing official documents and offers. In the further part of the vocational practice, students make use of their skills obtained during translation courses by translating and interpreting consecutively and, if possible, simultaneously.

While studying in Poland, I could broaden my knowledge with new informations, that I didn’t have a chance to learn at my University. Schedule was always well organized by the teachers and the authorities of University. Thanks to friendly atmosphere in PWSZ meant that I didn’t get the feeling I am foreigner. Studying at both University and faculty gave me an unforgettable life experience. I hope that more and more students will benefit from the Erasmus program, taking part in the creative process of learning.

Aktivitäten der Neisser Germanistikstudenten Die DAAD - Studienreisen

F

ür ausländische Studierende ist die Finanzierung der Studienaufenthalte und Praktika in Neisse sowohl aus den Mitteln des Erasmus+ Programms möglich, als auch im Rahmen der DAAD-Stipendien.

Eine weitere Praktika-Möglichkeit bietet sich für künftige Philologen, Übersetzer und Medien- und Tourismus-Experten in unterschiedlichen Referaten der Verwaltung der Staatlichen Hochschule in Neisse und u.a. auch in den Strukturen der deutschen Minderheit.

Die Studentische Germanistische Fachschaft (Falke)

D

ie Heimat- und Landeskunde war schon immer im Programm des Germanistikstudiums an der Staatlichen Fachhochschule in Neisse ein durchaus wichtiges Thema.

Um diese Interessen vertiefen zu können, ist im Wintersemester 2009/2010 die Studentische Germanistische Fachschaft »Falke« ins Leben gerufen worden, die sich seitdem vorranging mit dem Veranstalten der etlichen Studienreisen durch die schlesische Heimat beschäftigt. Mindestens einmal im Semester sind die Studierenden unterwegs, indem sie an verschiedenen Reisen teilnehmen, die sie zusammen mit ihrem Betreuer auch selbst planen, organisieren und durchführen, während jene Fahrten seitens unserer Hochschule meistens auch finanziell unterstützt werden, so dass zumindest ein Teil der fälligen Unkosten gedeckt werden kann.

ducation on architecture major is based on direct contacts between teachers and students, on masterapprentice relationship, well-established in education history.

Classes are conducted in the form of lectures, exercises, projects, laboratories and seminars. Students learn, for instance, in drawing and painting workrooms, computer laboratories – equipped with CAD/CAM software, laboratorial-design workrooms of general construction, material science and sculpture.

The purpose of the architecture major is to first bring closer and finally accomplish a definition of “architecture”, namely “a discipline organizing and shaping the space in real forms, necessary to satisfy material, biological, spiritual and utilitarian human needs, including needs of the disabled”.

word of lecturers

A

rchitecture and urban planning in English - is a typical theoretical-practical and interdisciplinary major of studies, philological in a sense, saturated with the program of classic architecture and urban planning studies, which gives the graduate significantly broader opportunities of employment as compared to the traditional architecture and urban planning studies.

Classes are conducted in English by the personnel being in possession of certificates allowing such a possibility and long-term experience in working with students in specialized English. It gives the chance to educate a Polish student on the highest European level.

The purpose of the studies is, e.g. mastering specialist English in the field of architecture and urban planning. Having such skills creates many possibilities of attractive employment not only in Poland, but also on European markets.

pecialty in maintenance and protection of monuments is the only daily study programme in the scope of historic architecture. Protection of architectural monuments is a profession that may become fascinating in its discovery of the heritage of the past.

A graduate will be prepared to perform auxiliary, coauthor and original creative activities with regard to design and implementation of the maintenance investments in historic buildings under their adaptation to the new functions and revitalisation.

A

rchitecture of Light is a specialty, after completion of which graduate will be prepared to perform auxiliary, co-author and original creative activities with regard to design and implementation of buildings, with particular focus on lighting issues of architectonic objects, including architectonic illumination, utility and decorative lighting of both interiors and public spaces respecting landscape qualities as well as preparation of stage lighting and occasional lighting of temporal character.

Maintenance and protection of monuments is ideal specialty for enthusiasts of history and monuments.

The need of adjustment of the design concepts interfering in historical buildings’ tissue to the restrictive requirements of monuments protection becomes an inspiration for search of creative solutions.

We want our Institute to be an integration place for people for whom light is passion and art, who want to broaden their knowledge and explore the latest and proven solutions in lighting design. We would like to show the value of light as a building material used by the architect engineer equally with reinforced concrete, brick, steel and glass.

For several hundred years the town was the capital of the Duchy of Wroclaw Bishops and was perceived as one of the most important cultural and economic centres of Europe, next to Wroclaw, Prague and Cracow. Even now we can find many precious monuments from different historic epochs in Nysa. More information at www.nysa.pl.

On the outskirts of the town, at Nysa Lake, tourists can find an extensive recreational complex which is a centre of water sports and a great starting point for hikes and bicycle excursions.
