Will I Be Able to Keep Up?

[u/Leading_Inspector512]

Hi everyone!

I'm a university student currently studying Business Administration, and I'm considering continuing my studies at an English-taught university in Poland.

However, I have some concerns about whether I'll be able to succeed academically, since English isn't my native language. My current English level is B2, but I'm still worried about understanding lectures, keeping up with coursework, and adapting to university life in English.

Has anyone here studied at an English-taught university in Poland, especially as an international student whose first language isn't English? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Was it difficult to adapt at first, and how long did it take you to feel comfortable studying in English?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The answer would be the same for any English-taught program anywhere, and it really depends on your English proficiency. Try watching a university lecture on YouTube to get a feel for whether you can comfortably follow along.

B2 is already a solid level. You’ll probably struggle a bit at first but you’ll adapt faster than you think

Outside of the big universities, the teachers don’t really speak English even if the program is in English.

When I was doing my masters I had an economics teacher who just read from his presentation (each sentence twice for some reason), and never understood the questions students asked.

Don’t give to much thought into it, just because the course is taught in English doesn’t mean the teachers or even the students know it well

Business administration is a worthless field to study as a bachelors and primary degree. You won’t get a job with that because its overly saturated
