Summary/Abstract: The specialisation came into being in the 2001/2002 academic year. Due to the abandonment of entrance examinations, it was essential to determine the aim, the content and the educational forms which would guarantee accurate evaluation of the graduates’ knowledge and skills. Therefore, the Department of Publishing and Ancillary Studies in Polish Philology was created and, since 2006, its teaching staff has included: prof. Marek Buś; Maciej Eder, PhD; prof. Kazimierz Gajda (the head of the Department); prof. Maria Ostaszowa; and lately also Piotr Kołodziej, PhD. The obligatory introduction of the two-level course of studies has proved very problematic but hopefully it will not have a negative impact on the abilities of students entering the world of digital printing as they are assisted by professionals. Between 2001 and 2011, nearly 290 people graduated from the Publishing Specialisation: about 140 have obtained their Master’s degree following a five-year course of full-time studies and about 90 – part-time ones; over 50 have obtained their Bachelor’s degree (for the first time in the academic year 2009/2010) after full-time and 7 after part-time course of studies.
