There is a list of courses recommended for Erasmus students at the Institute of European Studies here. (Remember to check for any updates)
The times for registration for courses offered at the Institute of European Studies are listed here.
Erasmus and other international exchange students are welcome to register for English-language courses at the Institute of European Studies provided that there is sufficient space, and the course has not been filled to capacity (full-time degree students of the Jagiellonian University may have priority for some courses). There are some kinds of courses (like Methodology or Thesis Seminars) at the Institute that are reserved for students in specific degree programmes, but other students will not see them in their available registrations on USOSweb.
All students must have a sufficiently high level of English to participate fully in class. Students whose English is considered inadequate by the instructor may be denied a place. Courses designed for exchange students will generally be aimed at a minimum of B2 level, but courses that are part of a postgraduate programme may expect C1.
- Log into your USOS account.
- Choose ‘Directory’ from the top panel.
- Insert the name of the course into the ‘Courses’ browser and click on ‘Search’.
- On the right side next to the name of the course you can see several icons, including a little shopping cart icon.

- Registration to the course is possible if the cart has a green arrow. You can register by clicking on the cart.
- If the cart has a yellow arrow it means that you are already registered to the course. Click on the cart in order to deregister.
- If the cart is inactive it means that you cannot register to the course.
- In each case, above the cart you can see a colourful bar indicating how many posts are currently available for the class (green – many posts available, red – no posts available).
- After clicking on the cart with a green arrow you should receive a confirmation of successful registration (green box with a tick). As the last step, the system will ask you to link the course to your study programme. Failing to link the course will result in de-registration.
