Study / master in tourism - Wroclaw [5]

hi...

thanks for answering...but my university cannot helps me cause I'm looking for this master by myself...it's not connected with the studies I have done here...so It's just my job to find information about this master....;)

so...I'm going to wroclaw to do this master..

does anyone knows if the 2 years master in Poland are going to be recognised in Italy as "laurea specialistica".

In Italy we have 3 years of studies plus 2 and I have seen also in Poland they have 3 years bachelor and 2 years master, which I can imagine is the same of our "specialistica"...

so...are they going to recognise this in Italy ? thanks a lot for your answer....I have to move in few days and I cannot find this informations....thank u :)

Study / University in Poland is too easy [68]

hello

I'm studying in Wroclaw a master...and cause I was already in Poland 2 years ago now I almost got the certainty...University in Poland is sooo easy !! isn't it ?

I'm not sure of that...but I have met so many poles who are studying in 2 different faculty at the same time...and something like that should be almost impossible..but they do it with no problems.

Moreover in my master, and in others I have seen we don't have to study for exams..we just have a presentation to do before the end of the course.

My master is taught in English...but anyway there are normal poles in it...and I think compareted with the studies in my country (Italy), this is really easy.

Your opinion ?
p.s. I haven't say that's method is less effective than our in Italy.

well...here in Poland it's also totally different the method...we should usually have to participate and talk all the time during the class..we have sometimes homeworks.

In Italy mostly if u are there, if u aren't...doesn't matter...U will study your 3 books for and if u have done well the exam u pass it...if not u will try again...but it's your business..here it's more like in the high school.

Same in all mediterranean countries.Better go for coffee instead of attending lectures.

Study / University in Poland is too easy [68]

I have spoken this morning with one my polish friend...she told me, as I have thought, that here in Poland everybody pass with no problems the exams...they don't have event the idea about the meaning of "leave the university because too difficult".

She told me with a master u can do anything more than get a shity job in tesco or something like that...
In Italy I know people they left university cause they tried almost 10 times to give an exam and they didn't manage to pass it...too much to study.

anyway this morning I felt humiliated to be in my lesson and draw the phisical map of Poland during the lesson. yes..we must draw maps with lakes, rivers and so on.

What I'm gonna learn of it ? and I'm in the same course with some people from out EU who paied 4500 euro for this course.

OK, now I have a better idea about education in Italy.
In Poland I would not be accepted into English Department with the level of English you are displaying AFTER receiving a degree.

I have been accepted in Poland, anyway my english now is not the point...and I was ...I wanted just to hear your opinions...
I just meant that I was drawing lakes when I was 9....in tourism we should talk about management, marketing and staff like that.
I just want to learn more about Poland...not attacking anyone...besides I live in wroclaw and I like it !!

OK mauro, I apologize for my lighthearted remarks.

Here's what I think.

thanks for answering !!
the course is this :
international.uni.wroc.pl/en/course/introduction-spatial-economy

should be one of the most difficult.

When you expect to deal with marketing and management then you need to study business and administration, and then possibly specialize in tourism.

you all right...but that's a master..it should be taught after 3 years of studies of bachelor degree...anyway I meant marketing of tourism and management of tourism...that's the subjects we have in Italy.

The value of your degree is the same no matter if you draw lakes or get taught about management.What your degree is worth depends on the proportion of rich kids attending the course.

that's so true...really !!

Don't you understand that It's easy because you pay them fortune ? Why would they bite a hand, which feeds them ?

well...the studies in Poland for poles and people of EU are for free...so mostly of the people are studying here don't pay anything...and me neither.

Secondly I know so many poles who are studying in different faculties at the same times, not paying anything, and getting good marks in all these faculties.

third : I have never met one Pole who left university cause he didn't manage to pass exams....in Italy that's a high percentage.

still...I'm not against one or the other system...just looking for your opinions-
thanks

Wyspianska:

I haven't payed even one euro, I'm in a double cause the single was too expensive and I go shopping to biedronka...if u believe it or not!

I just like sharing opinions.

all right ! I'm agree....just one remark...in Italy we have university with and without selectivity...it depends...the one I've done was with it...only 150 pass trought the entrance test. but yes, many of them are without.

it could be...but as I have written before I know many other poles who study in different fields and they are more or less in the same situation. Anyway, so do u know this program ?

Life / Paying bribes in Poland - necessity or a luxury? [41]

In Warsaw homeless or just less than clean looking guys hang around many of the parking areas and ask for money to 'watch' your car. If you don't pay this little bribe often something "happens" to your car.

that's happens in Italy too...unlickily.

Study / University in Poland is too easy [68]

In these days I have met somo poles and they told me actually my uni is easy cause is in english...they said usually english masters are easier, but if u study in polish it's getting harder.

But still I have met again many poles who are studying 2-3 bachelor/master in the same time...that's sooo weird for me.

Study / University in Poland is too easy [68]

In the previous pages I've already explained that I'm in the public university of Wroclaw...I have posted my studies, they are in english but they are for free, as all the public courses in Poland...only people from extra-EU have to pay.

Moreover I'm studying with people from wroclaw, who don't pay as well of course.

I think it's about the system in Poland, in fact here if u failed one exam for 3 times you have to repeat the year (isn't it ?), so I guess professors usually don't feel to give u a vote down!!

Anyway, cause in my course there are also 2 girls who are from asia, so they're paying a lot for studying, maybe the uni decided to give an easy level on this course...in order to have this girls also next year and get some money again...it could be like that..anyway I repeat, I'm not paying, I'm in a public uni.

thanks for your comments about this topic.

anyway one fried of mine is studying in england and it appears to be as easy as here in Poland...so maybe it's our problem in Italy that we study too much...thinking about doing 2 different degrees at the same time in italy sounds really funny...cause almost impossible (even illegal, we aren't allowed)
