THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW WHILE PREPARING THE DOCUMENTS

  • The translations of the documents must be done by a sworn translator.
  • In the case of candidates with degrees from Polish universities, a copy of the student book (indeks) will be treated as an official transcript (copy should include all pages relating to the progress of the studies, exams and credits). The translation of the credit book consists of the English names of all passed subjects together with grades received (zaliczenie = passed).
  • Reference letters may come from: academic tutors, promoters of Degree Thesis, superiors, and major clients. There is no template for reference letters.
  • As for documents confirming at least 4 years of professional experience, the candidate can submit "Świadectwo pracy" (a proof of employment) with the translation in English.

If you have any questions or doubts, do not hesitate to contact the CEMBA Office directly.

THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS

The recruitment process is organised as follows:

  1. The candidates who meet formal requirements submit a completed set of documents to the Office.
  2. For the group of candidates, the Office schedules an interview day (30-45 minutes per person) with the Project Director.
  3. As a result of the interview, some candidates are accepted to the Program, and some are rejected. The selected people's names are put on the acceptance list. When there are 40 names on the acceptance list + 15 names on the reserve list - we end the recruitment process. That is why there is no particular date to which the documents should be submitted. However, the earlier you apply, the stronger your chance of having your name on the student list.
  4. The documents of the successful candidates are sent to the Registrar's Office at ESG-University of Quebec at Montreal, which sends back the official letter confirming their acceptance to UQAM together with a student ID card.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXAM

This exam is designed to test the overall student's language skills. It is at the level corresponding to UCLES CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) or equivalent level C1 of the CEF (Common European Framework). The test covers the following areas: Use of English, Listening and Writing as the most important language components needed to follow a course of academic study successfully. The test consists of three parts:

Test Use of English - 30 min.
Test Listening - 30 min.
Test Writing - 30 min.
Total time - 1,5 hrs.

All three elements will be evaluated on a scale from 1 to 100%. The final grade will be an arithmetical average of the partial grades.

The candidates may be exempted from taking this test on the basis of their educational background (studies in English language, previously taken tests). In each case, the decision will be made individually by the Program Co-ordinator.
