International Student Support Office (ISSO)
International Student Support Office offers information, advice and additional support for international students.
- Adaptation Clinic
In case of missing your family and friends, anxiety caused by your new student life or cultural shock, feel free to get in touch with us. We can also schedule a face-to-face meeting. We are here to help!
- Orientation
Our team is responsible for the introductory workshop about your new host country. The course was designed to provide practical information about Poland (history, culture, law); Rzeszów and UITM.
- Buddy Program
The first few weeks of being an international student are likely to be overwhelming, that is why we created a network of senior students that will pick you up from the airport, support with all formalities and introduce to lectures and student life.
If you cannot find the information you are looking for on our website you can get in touch with us through email, live chat or in person.
