The Faculty of Philology collaborates with numerous institutions within the university’s socio-economic environment. Our cooperation includes providing expert opinions on and co-creating study programmes, as well as organizing study visits, student internships, and traineeships. Key areas of collaboration include partnerships with employers and schools in Opole and the surrounding region, as well as international cooperation.
Cooperation with Employers
One of the strategic goals of the Faculty of Philology is to strengthen ties with our external environment and to develop the competencies of our graduates. This goal is realized through the following actions: leveraging existing and establishing new contacts within the socio-economic environment; inviting external entities to contribute to the review of study programmes; increasing the participation of industry practitioners in teaching activities; inviting collaboration in organizing student internships and traineeships; and inviting cooperation within projects aimed at developing students’ professional competencies.
The Faculty of Philology works to facilitate graduates’ entry into the labor market by developing students’ professional competencies not only during university classes but, above all, by implementing competency development projects and traineeship programmes, monitoring labour market trends, and supervising Master’s theses that are linked to the labor market and commissioned by institutions in the university’s environment.
Our existing collaboration includes teaching sessions conducted by experts from the university’s business environment, study visits to companies, training sessions for students, internships, and traineeships. We invite companies from Opole, the Opole region, and beyond to collaborate with the Faculty. We encourage you to complete the survey regarding our study programmes >> SURVEY

Cooperation with Cultural Organizations and Institutions

Our partners include associations, unions, foundations, and societies operating in the fields of culture, art, and education. We co-organize numerous events and jointly participate in projects for the benefit of the region and the local community.
International Cooperation
The Faculty of Philology collaborates with numerous higher education institutions worldwide. Our strategic partners are part of the FORTHEM Alliance of European Universities, of which the University of Opole is a member. Particular emphasis should be placed on the involvement of the Faculty’s students and staff in the European Campus and Skills & Competences Missions, as well as in the Migration and Diversity and Multilingualism Labs. Within the framework of NAWA and Erasmus+ projects, and in cooperation with international partners, our academic staff develop teaching materials, and students acquire key competencies for the labor market. Both staff and students participate in individual and group mobility under the Erasmus+ programme.
