Cambridge Polish Studies has three primary objectives.
First: educating a talented cohort of Cambridge undergraduate students, giving them extensive knowledge of Polish culture, language and history. These students will bring a deeper understanding of Poland’s crucial position in a changing Europe to their future roles as leaders in business, industry, and government.
Second: raising the profile of Polish culture and the study of Poland in the United Kingdom through public events. These events cater to both academic audiences and the general public. Guest lectures are staged with prominent public intellectuals, film screenings, and lively debates of topical issues involving Poland and the wider region of Central and Eastern Europe.
Third: producing and supporting world-leading research on subjects related to Poland and its region. Research is conducted by faculty members, PhD candidates and MPhil students.
In 2017, Cambridge Polish Studies established a partnership with the University of Warsaw through the "Artes Liberales" Faculty.
Cambridge Polish Studies is a programme of the Slavonic Studies Section in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge. The programme has made Cambridge a key centre for the study of Poland and the promotion of Polish culture in the United Kingdom and throughout the world.
Cambridge Polish Studies combines innovative undergraduate courses on the language, literature and culture of Poland with a vibrant cycle of events open to all, including guest lectures, debates, film screenings, meetings with writers and artists, as well as academic conferences.
The academic programme commenced in October 2014, when the first group of Cambridge students undertook the “Introduction to the Language, Literature and Culture of Poland”. At the same time, open Polish language courses have continued for all members of the university.
As Poland assumes an increasingly important role in Europe, Cambridge Polish Studies is providing a powerful academic and public forum for new ways of thinking about Polish culture, history and contemporary politics.
