Poland in the UK

Polish Language & Culture Courses 2026

Poland is fast becoming one of Europe's most dynamic economies, leading the continent in growth with GDP projected to rise by 3.5% in 2025 and 3.4% in 2026. With a workforce of over 17 million and a thriving R&D ecosystem, it has cemented itself as Central and Eastern Europe's leading economic and academic force. Learning Polish puts you at the heart of this momentum, opening doors to a region of enormous professional, academic, and cultural opportunities.

This year's course offering is bigger than ever, with programmes running in July and August, available both in-person and online, and lasting 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Leading Polish-as-a-foreign-language centres at Polish universities deliver courses that are fully accredited by the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).

Full programme details, including dates and locations, are available on the NAWA website.
