APPLICATION DOCUMENTS
(available at the website)
Students should send to AHE the following documents:
1. Application form
2. Learning agreement (approved by home University)
3. 2 photos
4. Copy of ID/passport
5. Transcript of records (index of the courses and
grades students completed at their home University so
far)
6. English language certificate issued by TOEFL or
British Council confirming that student’s command
of English language is at least on B1 level - this
document is obligatory to send by all of the applying
students except of students from UK and Holland.
If students do not have an official certificate, they can
send a confirmation from their home University signed
by their coordinator/English language teacher
confirming that student knows English language on B1
level or above. Please note, that students who will not
send us any kind of confirmation of their English
command will not be accepted in AHE as well as they
may not be accepted if their certificate/confirmation
will state lower level that B2. If the confirmation is
issued by students’ home University, it is it’s
responsibility to make sure students’ English command
matches the level mentioned in the document, as AHE
reserves itself the right to dismiss students who will fail
in communicating in English on B1 level.
Application deadlines
All off the above listed documents (originals) should be
send to AHE by regular mail before:
winter semester or full academic year – May 30th
spring semester – December 14th
Accommodation
Since Spring semester 2012/13, AHE doesn’t offer
students a dormitory, therefore finding the
accommodation is up to a student. However during
last semesters many of incoming students were staying
in hostel Molo which offers students reasonable prices
and fairly good facilities. If students wish to get
information about the prices, facilities in Molo, etc.
they should ask Molo staff directly using e-mail
address: recepcja@hostelmolo.pl . In order to make a
reservation, please go to the website:
www.hostelmolo.pl and then move to: “rezerwacja
online”.
If student whishes, we may also send few links to the
websites with flat renting offers in English, however
AHE does suggest which offer should be chosen and do
not advise on choosing any place.

Courses lists available for incoming Erasmus students
are available at www.dwz.ahe.lodz.pl –> Erasmus –>
Courses. The updated lists should be available until
the end of April (before this date the lists visible on
the website may not be up to date).
Please bare in mind that not all of the subjects are
available in every semester, if the chosen subjects
will not open due to a small number of students
signed up for particular class or due to changes in the
academic schedule, student will be asked to make
changes to the original Learning Agreement.
Please pay attention that incoming Erasmus students
are welcomed to construct their own programme of
studies according to their interests, therefore they
are allowed to combine courses from different
departments and faculties, not only from the one
they are originally studying.
Division of the academic year
The academic year in Poland is divided into two
semesters - winter and summer, each lasting 15 weeks.
The Winter semester starts at the beginning of October
and lasts till mid February, with Christmas holidays of
about ten days. The examination session usually lasts
for two or three weeks, beginning in January.
The Spring semester starts in mid February and ends in
June, with a one-week break for Easter.
The exact dates for the academic year 2013/2014 will
be known in June.
Introduction days
The Introduction Days are organized few days before
the beginning of each semester (event lasts from 3 to 5
days depending on a semester and academic year).
Therefore students should arrive about a week before
the official beginning of the semester. The exact dates
of Introduction days in Winter semester will be given in
September 2013.
Please note that the attendance of incoming Erasmus
students in the Introduction Days is obligatory as
during the days students fill in the necessary papers
and learn about how to move around the University
and the city.
Polish language course in AHE
The course is organized during each semester (unless
students are not interested in it) and takes place threw
the whole semester. It is awarded 2 ECTS.
It is free of charge for incoming Erasmus students.
