The knowledge about Polish tourism that the Institute of Tourism has at its disposal, in particular in the field of research and analysis, is and should be a source of information for students writing diploma theses. The information is posted on the Institute’s website. A lot of information on this subject can also be found in our University library.

The Institute of Tourism mainly conducts research on Polish tourism. In the future, we plan to cooperate closely with government institutions in our country and we will implement large cyclical research and scientific projects in the tourism sector, at the same time becoming an entity coordinating all research activity in this industry in Poland.

The Institute of Tourism, currently incorporated in the organizational structures of the Vistula School of Hospitality, is the heir of the institution of the same name that has been operating since 1972. It has gathered professional knowledge in the field of research and analysis in the tourism sector and it is an increasingly recognizable entity in the tourism industry. It has established its position thanks to the continuous publication on its websites vast amounts of data and information on the development of tourism in Poland. Our websites can also provide you with information on the parameters of foreign tourism.

The participation of the Institute of Tourism in the implementation of international projects takes place on two levels: the Institute can be a direct beneficiary of projects financed from external funds or be a partner in the implementation of projects delivered as part of the University’s international cooperation,

The Institute of Tourism (from 1972 to 2012 as a state higher eduction institution, and currently operating within the organizational structure of the Vistula School of Hospitality) is the only place in Poland that has been gathering such vast knowledge in the field of research and analysis in the area of Polish tourism for 50 years. Currently, we are developing a system opening access to all these materials that can be used, inter alia, for the preparation of analyzes, expert opinions and for writing scientific papers.

Students can take part in the implementation of scientific and research projects. Thanks to this, they gain a lot of experience that they can use in their future professional work. The scope of cooperation and the degree of student involvement depends largely on the type of a given project and the possibility of using the previously acquired knowledge.

The Institute of Tourism cooperates with the vocational secondary schools. This cooperation concerns education of young people and students in order to help them acquire knowledge, continue their scientific development at a higher level and thus be properly prepared for a professional career. It especially relates to the area of education ensuring comprehensive personality development, while taking into account individual predispositions, interests and needs of young people. In May 2021, the Institute of Tourism signed an agreement of cooperation with the E. Gierczak Economic and Hotel School Complex in Kolobrzeg, and in the near future it will establish cooperation with one of the largest tourist secondary schools in Warsaw – the Professor Eugeniusz Pijanowski Catering and Hospitality School in Warsaw.

If you do not qualify for a conditional pass for the next semester, it is possible to retake the whole semester. In this case, you must submit an application via USOS to the Dean, with the justification for your request to retake the semester. The decision is made by the Dean.

For each completed course you obtain ECTS credits in the USOS system. In one year of study, you must complete all the courses (the grade should be entered in USOS), which means obtaining 60-64 ECTS credits (depending on the study program). When you have positive grades in all courses and the appropriate number of ECTS credits is entered in USOS, the year of study is considered as completed and the Dean’s Office enrolls you for the next academic year. You can check your grades on your USOS account. Remember that you must have all grades entered at the end of each academic year. If you fail a course, you may get a conditional pass to start another year of studies. The condition for receiving such consent is obtaining:

• at least 40 ECTS credits after the first year of study,
• at least 100 ECTS credits after the second year of study,
• at least 160 ECTS credits after the third year of study.

First of all, please contact your lecturer on that by e-mail. You should copy on the e-mail the Supervisor of your field of study at the Dean’s Office. Only the lecturer can provide information about the reason for the lack of grades in the system and only he/she can enter the grades. If the lecturer does not respond, please inform about this fact the Supervisor of your field of study at the Dean’s Office.

Student ID cards for students of the 1st semester can be collected at the reception of the University, the remaining cards should be collected at the Dean’s Office.

Information on the date of the thesis defense is always available in USOS and in APD. Additionally, students are notified by e-mail by the Dean’s Office employee in order not to miss the deadline. The diploma can be collected after 30 days from the day of defense.
