Dear Students,

We would like to inform you that according to the University of Warsaw admissions rules, you need to have graduated from a BA program by the time you submit documents to the MA program.

This means that if you graduate (and defend your BA) in July, you can take part in the 1st round of admissions to the MA program and sit the entrance exam in July. If you get in, you will then need to submit a copy of your diploma or a confirmation that you have graduated with your papers, which are due at the end of July. The diploma or confirmation is not required to register in IRK.

If you plan to defend your BA in September, you will need to wait for the September exam to apply to the MA program.

This means that if you graduate in July you may have two attempts at the entrance exam (in July and then in September).

We would like to encourage you all to do your best to graduate and defend your BA in July.

Best regards,

Anna Kurowicka
Head of the Admissions Committee

Join us for a lecture by Agata Zygardowicz on Buffy and her iconic impact on American television: “Feminism and Gender Representations in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Buffy the Vampire Slayer occupies a significant space in the history of feminist media, portraying themes of 1990s third-wave feminism, postfeminist aesthetics, and television genre for teens. This lecture examines how the series both reflects and critiques feminist ideals, offering a protagonist who is emotionally vulnerable, fashion-conscious, and physically powerful at the same time.
