A video guide to getting started!
We know that starting out in a new country and at a new university can seem complicated. To make your first days at the University of Silesia in Katowice easier, we have prepared a series of short videos entitled ‘The Steps to Become a Student’.
This is a condensed version of the most important information from which you will learn, among other things:
how to handle matters at the Dean’s Office stress-free,
how to find your way around a new city,
and what student life at our university is like.
