Thanks to numerous research projects in the field of methodology of teaching foreign languages (including early school level), translation studies, the use of modern technologies in education, specialist language and rehabilitation and special education, we can offer our students attractive courses and teaching programs which ensure the development of every student’s talents. We can awake curiosity and indulge it. We offer education of high quality, together with modern methods. The University College of Social Sciences in Częstochowa has been the leader of non-business private schools in Poland for years now. We were given a title of the best non-public school in the region (ranking Wprost 2010).80% of our students come to UCSS because they got recommendations from our graduates who claim that we have excellent teaching and administrative staff and atmosphere. In our College students get qualifications and excellent practical skills. This allows them to find themselves quickly and easily in the labour market. We are proud of our students. They are our greatest satisfaction. We have at our disposal a modern building in the city center with comfortable classrooms equipped with the needed tools such as interactive boards, computers, sound systems and projectors. What is more, we have a most up to date computer lab and the most functional in Europe laboratory for phonetics and interpreting/translating purposes.
