Dear Students,

we would like to inform you that The Academic Clinic CenterMed Warszawa Sp. z o.o launched a special telephone number dedicated to providing free medical care (internist and occupational medicine) for students of the University of Warsaw:

22 592 48 30

The number will be used to quickly sign up for an appointment or to obtain other free medical assistance (prescription, sick leave, referral, information) for all  foreign-language students of the University of Warsaw, in need of this help. As a rule, assistance will be provided free of charge to all students covered by the NFZ benefits (National Health Fund), both to those registered with our internists and in the form of one-time visits to students from outside Warsaw who have a selected doctor in their place of residence.

The free assistance obtained under this number can also be used by foreign students who have the European health insurance card EKUZ (European Health Insurance Card), Pole’s Card, Permanent Residence Card or individual health insurance – signed and paid for in the National Health Fund.

If you don’t have insurance or you have problems with insurance, our consultants on this number will provide each interested student with information on the methods and formalities that need to be completed in order to use such free medical assistance in our facilities.

In the student’s section you can find a business card with a telephone number and code QR to facilitate contact with a doctor.

May 4 and 5 – days free from classes

Dear students, dear Colleagues,

After consultations with the dean’s team and taking into account the exceptionally long summer semester in the current academic year, I decided to announce May 4 and 5 days free from classes and lectures at the Faculty of Archeology of the University of Warsaw (note! This does not apply to classes conducted outside the faculty, such as OGUN, foreign language courses and sports). I hope that this will allow you to enjoy the “Juwenalia” on May 6 and 7 (also days free from classes) and after the extended May weekend you will return to learning with enthusiasm.

Yours faithfully,

Elżbieta Jaskulska

Vice-Dean for Student Affairs
The Faculty of Archeology of the University of Warsaw

Draw out your gremlin – break free of limiting beliefs and self-judgements – coaching workshop for international students

Dear Students,

We would like to invite you to our next workshops for international students: ‘Draw out your gremlin’.

The workshop includes:

• Presentation of most common patterns of self-sabotage: creating a ‘storage of limiting beliefs’ – ignoring the positive and focusing on negative – allowing fear to take over and guide one’s thoughts and actions – focusing on the past – comparing with others – settling for less to be “on the safe side” – mastering procrastination

• Exercises and tools to find one’s self-sabotage patterns

• Strategies to overming your weakness, creating one’s own strategy and new thinking habits, boosting one’s strengths

• Exercise: Learning “force-field analysis” and “ants model” to deal with your self-sabotage and inner critic

• Staying accountable to yourself and some more tips and tricks
