Essay Topics

If you intend to become a student of Collegium Civitas, you will have to send us your application package. In the application package you will have to include, among other things, a proof of your proficiency in the English language. If you reside in Poland or travel through, you may opt for coming up for an interview, at which your command of English is assessed. Alternatively, you may send us your scores gained in one of the following tests: TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, CAE, CPE, International Baccalaureate. If, however, you neither reside in Poland nor have the test scores, you will have to send us some document indicating your knowledge of English (for instance, a diploma from a local language school) and a 600 word essay written by you on one of the following topics.

The essays should be written by the applicants. If there is a justified suspicion that an essay is copied, if only partially, from the Internet or other sources, the application of the candidate who wrote such an essay will be rejected automatically. Plagiarism is a serious violation of the university’s rules.
