HOW TO GET TO GLIWICE
The most convenient way to get to Gliwice is a plane connection. The nearest airport is
located in Katowice-Pyrzowice (max 1 hour by car).
You may also book tickets to:
Wrocław airport – about 2 hours by train to Gliwice,
Kraków airport – 2,5 hours by train to Gliwice , 1,5 h by car
Warszawa airport – 4-5 hours by train to Gliwice.
The International Mobility Office arranges a pick-up service from Katowice-Pyrzowice,
Krakow-Balice (for a group of students) and a bus station located in the Upper-Silesia
region. For the exchange students it’s free of charge. If you choose other airports, the
International Mobility Office will instruct you how to get to Gliwice.
If you arrive at Warszawa International Airport “Okęcie” (also known as Fryderyk Chopin
Airport) your journey will be a little bit longer. In order to get from the airport to the
main railway station in Warsaw you can either take a licensed taxi (more comfortable
but expensive) or the bus No 175 (your destination is Warsaw Central Railway Station, in
Polish: Dworzec Warszawa-Centralna). The bus stop and the taxi rank are in front of the
airport entrance/exit.
You can go directly to Gliwice by the express trains (IC, TLK). Other trains such as a fast
train InterRegio go only to Katowice (the capital of the Upper-Silesia region) and there
you have to take a train which goes to Gliwice. There you can take a taxi that will take
you directly to the particular hall of residence (about a 10-minute ride).
The International Mobility Office organizes a pick-up service for the exchange students
twice during their stay:
at arrival,
at departure.
In order to be picked up a student has to fill in an Arrival/ Departure form, giving needed details.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Students from EU/EEA countries staying temporarily on the territory of Poland are
entitled to free health care on the basis of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
or, in particular cases, on the basis of a special certificate. You’ll receive free health care
services, necessary on medical grounds, from health care providers who have concluded
contracts for health services with the National Health Fund (NFZ). The information
about health care providers who have concluded contracts with the NFZ is available in
the competent regional branch offices of the NFZ.
Students from non-EU/EEA countries should purchase accident insurance in their
home country before departure. In the case of the ISIC or Euro

STUDENT ID CARD
After arrival you may apply for a student ID card (legitymacja studencka) which entitles
to get discounts on: tram/buses, PKP trains, cinema, theatre, museum, certain concerts,
certain pizzerias. Students below the age of 26 are entitled to reduced fares but they
are required to present a valid Student Identity Card. For instructions how to get a
student ID card go to a relevant Dean’s Office.
POLISH LANGUAGE COURSE
During each semester exchange students have a possibility to attend the Polish Language
Course which takes place in the main university campus in Gliwice. It’s free of
charge for the exchange students (with the exception of books/ study materials).
That’s not everything! We are always open to new ideas and initiatives.

ORIENTATION DAYS
In cooperation with a local ESN organization the International Mobility Office arranges
Orientation Days for new exchange students. We encourage and recommend that you
should take part in this event which usually starts before each semester. During the
orientation days students can learn more about Poland, Gliwice and the SUT. This is also
a great opportunity to visit Silesia, meet other exchange students and ESN members.
Detailed programme of the Orientation Days will be provided. Join us!
ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK IN GLIWICE
ESN SUT Gliwice is a student organization at the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) in
Gliwice. We are a group of open-minded, sociable, very inventive and full of positive energy
students who guide and welcome you gladly. Most of us had already been exchange
students so we know how foreigners feel in a new environment. Our main aim is to make
your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible!
We guide you from the very beginning (e.g. pick up exchange students from airport),
accompany you during your whole stay in Gliwice and discover Poland with you. Each
of incoming exchange students has their own MENTOR - a Polish student who you can
always ask for information or help. They will be with you till the last day of your stay :-)
Our goal is also to integrate exchange students. We organize a lot of events such as
thematic parties (‘Taste of Poland’, ‘Crazy Hat Party’ and many more). Those of you who
are more interested in sports will not be disappointed because we also organize numerous
sports events (e.g. football matches, paintball). If you are into culture - we have got a
‘Cinema Project’ for you, with good films from different countries. We do not forget about
avid travellers. Our trips are the best way to discover Poland from young people’s point of
view and to make friendships among both Polish and foreign students.
By participating in the Tandem Programme you may be the one who can teach others
your mother tongue.
MENTORING PROGRAMME
Each Erasmus student has his/her mentor (a Polish student) who helps with all kinds of
daily issues. This is also a wonderful opportunity for the students to get familiar with
each other’s culture, history and traditions.

Potato pancakes (placki ziemniaczane) are also very good. They are made from grated
potatoes, deep-fried.
One of the traditional Silesian Sunday meals is the Silesian roulade (a beef roll stuffed
with bacon, pickled cucumber and mustard) served with dumplings and cooked red
cabbage.
For dessert try delicious cheesecake (sernik), poppy-seed cake (makowiec) and gingerbread
(piernik).
SILESIA IN SHORT
The Silesia (ŚLĄSKIE) is situated in the southern part of Poland and it is the most industrial
region in the whole country. It has excellent connections with the trans – European
transport network.
The unique economic position of the Silesia results from the fact that it is the most industrialized
and urbanized region in Poland. Back in time it was a mining, iron and steel
industry centre. Nowadays, the Silesia has been developing dynamically. Electronic,
chemical and brewing industries as well as car manufacturers (Fiat and General Motors)
operate in the area.
The capital of the Upper-Silesia is Katowice.

Apart from economic aspects, Silesia is a unique region due to its natural environment.
So do not hesitate to visit the land of immaculate nature, rich cultural life and varied
landscape.
THE CITY OF GLIWICE
Gliwice stands out among the cities and towns in the Upper-Silesia. It was founded in
the 13 th century – even today we can admire the original medieval layout of the Old
Town streets and the charming Market Square in the city centre. At the same time it is a
thriving and modern centre of economy, commerce and science.
Interesting places:
Ruins of the Municipal Theatre,
Market Square and Town Hall,
Gliwice Radio Station,
Municipal Palm House,
Museum in Gliwice – Artistic Casting Department,
Museum in Gliwice – the Caro Villa,
Museum in Gliwice – the Piast Castle,
Airfield and Gliwice Aero Club.
