The Structure of the academic year 2023-2024

SGGW welcomed foreign students during Welcome Day on February, 24

On Saturday, February 24, a large number of international students who has just started their studies at SGGW in the summer semester 2023/24 gathered in the Crystal Hall for the Welcome Day. The event was attended by students from exchange programmes as well as first semester students from Faculty of Civil and Management Engeneering.

During the event, our foreign students had the opportunity to get to know our university better – the WePoint team, the University Student Council and the Erasmus Student Network SGGW presented themselves at the meeting. Students got practical information about studying at SGGW, formalities related to coming to Poland, as well as public transportation. ESN representatives talked about Poland and its culture and conducted an engaging quiz on the subject, introducing foreign colleagues to the Polish cultural context.

The second part of the event included a special seminar “Are you green? What does it mean? Practical methods for calculating Ecological Footprint” organized as a part of Unigreen Day.

The event was organized by WePoint in cooperation with SGGW Erasmus Student Network.
