Does anyone have any experience of the establishment above? Is it well established,does it have a good academic reputation?
My friend's daughter has been offered a place there to do a social work course.
The daughter is the first person in the family to go onto higher education and her mum is quite anxious about the quality of university she (the daughter) will attend. The young lady has recieved offers from a couple of English colleges but she hasn't settled well in Britain and wants to return to Poland to study. None of the family have been to Włocłwek so if anyone on the forum has lived/stayed there,your input would be helpful.

Thanks Kaz

Thank you for your information.
I wasn't very impressed by the website/prospectus from the school however I don't have any experience of working or studying in a Polish institution so thought I'd better ask around before writing the place off!

Any other comments about the school/Włocławek would be welcome.

I will pass on this information to my friend's daughter. The young lady (19 years old) has 6 GCSEs at grade C she also has a BTEC level 3 in Health and Social Care, she would like to do a course in Social Work, can you recommend any good institutions? obviously language won't be a problem. There are courses at British colleges but she really hates living in Britain even after 4 years! I can't really offer much advice because I know very little about Polish Universities apart from the top state ones. Most of the local Poles have been to vocational or secondary school only and can't really advise the young lady. She's very hardworking, excellent at languages, learns quickly.

Ps Just curious but what's so awful about Włocławek?

why doesn't she try English philology - she can become a translator after this or at least English teaching college -then she becomes an English teacher

That would be perfect as her verbal/written skills are excellent in both languages however she has no interest in becoming a teacher or translator! She really is passionate about a career in social work, given her personal qualities, she'd be a superb social worker.I would hate to see her side lined into a career that she doesn't want, she really hasn't enjoyed living in the UK and badly wants to return to Poland. Her ultimate goal is to train as a social worker and help children at risk. The UK's loss and Poland's gain.
