More than lectures

Learning at Kozminski is more than just lectures. We implement technological innovations supporting our teaching processes. By making use of solutions based on artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and gamification, we share knowledge combined with experience. The process of education and general development is supported by a possibility to take advantage of additional tools and licenses. For example, KU students have unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning platform offering 12,000 online courses in various areas of knowledge. Both students and graduates can use the “Financial Times” website as premium users.

 

Virtual reality for law students

Imagine a prosecutor at a crime scene. He enters a spacious room. He carefully lifts a figure from a chessboard. He opens a drawer. He sees the body on a chair behind the desk, with a gun in its hand and a gunshot wound to the head. He goes deeper inside the room. He opens the safe. But didn’t he make a mistake on the way? This shall be decided by our expert during criminology classes. Because this isn’t happening for real. The man inspecting the crime scene is a student. The student learns proper conduct at a crime scene – but in a virtual reality setting. Our law students take part in an educational game that utilizes virtual reality technology. They wear VR goggles and have to act as if they were already forensic specialists. The VR-based game used within the framework of law studies at KU is the first such initiative in Poland. It is co-created and developed by KU’s graduates. The authors are already working on new scenarios.

The problem of the Polish education system is the excessive dogmatic approach to certain issues, as well as teaching things that became a thing of the past long ago. When developing our Student Legal Clinic, we follow a completely different approach. Our Student Legal Clinic operates on a pro bono basis. Legal advice is offered here to those worse off, who cannot afford the services of a law firm. Students learn by dealing with case studies. They look for solutions to specific legal problems. The Clinic draws up legal opinions and submissions. These activities are a proper form of preparation to pursuing legal professions. Students have an opportunity to get to know the ropes of working with clients. The KU College of Law offers special psychological training to the members of the Clinic, which involves teaching the basic skills required to work with clients – including so-called difficult clients. The following sections operate within the framework of the Student Legal Clinic:

  • administrative law
  • criminal law
  • civil law (three sections, including a family law section)
  • labor and social security law

Contact: poradnia@kozminski.edu.pl www.poradnia.kozminski.edu.pl https://www.facebook.com/StudenckaPoradniaPrawnaALK The Clinic is managed by Mateusz Woiński, PhD, from the Department of Criminal Law, Vice-Dean of the College of Law.

TOP 15 is a program aimed at the best KU students. Such students work with a student adviser of their choice to conduct research and then present its results in the form of scientific papers published in special journals. The TOP 15 program has been running since 2007. Students also participate in a series of seminars and workshops aimed at developing their research competence.

TOP 15 is open to second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-year students, regardless of their field of study or type of studies. A maximum of 15 persons are accepted to take part in the Program each year. Applicants are expected to be interested in research, as well as to be independent, systematic, and self-disciplined, as this is what is prerequisite for scientific work.

STUDY ABROAD!

An inseparable element of studying at Kozminski is taking part in an international exchange program. Every student who has completed their first year of studies, whose level of proficiency in English is at least B2, and whose academic performance has been good, can apply to take part in an international exchange program.

We have signed agreements with over 200 foreign higher education institutions on six continents. KU runs the exchange program within the framework of the European ERASMUS+ Program, which supports mobility initiatives, including co-financing student mobility for a semester or a year of study at a European HEI, and within the framework of bilateral agreements signed with HEIs from outside the European Union.

WORK ABROAD!

One of the most promising opportunities to gain international professional experience we offer is the chance to serve a student internship abroad as part of the Erasmus Placement program. Each student and graduate who decides to go to one of the European countries for two months (or longer) has a chance to receive a grant for the duration of the internship.

Kozminski University has signed several dozen agreements with international organizations which offer the opportunity to serve internships with them, based in such countries as: United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and many more.

Kozminski Venture Lab offers our students and graduates:

  • An incubation and acceleration program
  • Provision of innovative solutions for businesses
  • Counselling and mentoring for start-ups and innovative undertakings

It also has a crowdfunding platform within its ecosystem.

  • Student Council

The Student Council is the voice of the entire student community. Its members are involved in making important decisions by e.g. participating in meetings of the KU Senate, providing opinions on the curricula, delegating students to sit in the Grants Committee and in disciplinary panels.

They are the originators and organizers of many scientific, cultural, and sports events. They support interesting student initiatives and charity projects. They organize or co-organize traditional student events – initiation ceremonies, halfway-through parties, juwenalia, and orientation trips. The Student Council is composed of the following sections: marketing section, event section, teaching section, and a so-called support group. Any student who wants to have a real impact on the functioning of the university can apply to join them. The Student Council represents all KU students in regional, national, and international student organizations, including the Students’ Parliament of the Republic of Poland (PSRP).

Traditionally in September, before the start of the academic year, KU students go to a sports camp to Masuria – in Żabinki. There, they not only take advantage of sports activities and entertainment but also get some studying done, which lets them pass some part of courses in the coming semester. Taking part in the camp also exempts them from physical education classes.

In winter, there is an orientation trip to the Alps, where students learn or perfect their skiing or snowboarding skills. The planned attractions include also: volleyball in the snow, après-ski parties, and a wellness area available daily.

The summer and winter camps are organized by KU Sports Center.

The Student Council organizes, in turn, a summer sailing trip in the Mediterranean.
