Wybrane aspekty podejmowania edukacji w Polsce przez studentów z Białorusi i Ukrainy
Selected Aspects of Taking up Education in Poland by Students from Belarus and Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The method used in the analyses presented below was focused interview (FGI) conducted for the purpose of qualitative research carried out within the project: "Cross-border Centre for Supporting the Labour Market", microproject: "ABC of studying and working in Poland". The main question that the study attempts to answer is whether Ukrainian and Belarusian students perceive their own position in the Polish university and its immediate surroundings and whether there is cultural diffusion between Polish and foreign students. Foreign students generally rate their own university positively. The relations between the studied students and their Polish colleagues are quite correct. In general, foreign students do not feel discriminated against by Polish students. However, a certain difficulty in these positive relations is the problem of keeping both Polish and Ukrainian students in separate national groups. This division is assessed negatively by foreign students as it makes it difficult to learn Polish. Relations with people from outside the university were rated relatively better or as good by respondents as with colleagues from the university. Low frequency of interactions between students from Ukraine and Belarus and Poles makes cultural diffusion difficult.
