At Macquarie students have the opportunity not just to study this important language, but also to study Polish literature and theatre. Students wishing to use their Polish major professionally after graduation should consider combining the study of Polish with a discipline such as politics, international relations, law or economics and finance. Language classes for Polish range from beginners to advanced level and extend from language skills to the development of an understanding of the society, culture and history of Poland. Students are encouraged to study in Poland, either in a residential course organized by the University, or for one or two semesters under various exchange agreements. Macquarie provides generous travel scholarships to enable students to take up these opportunities.
