During the three year extramural program of studies, there is one session per semester (in September and February). During the intensive week-long session in Poznan there are four 10 hour courses and examinations. During the semester students working on assignments given out during the session can consult with lecturers by email and can solve some tasks on the program's internet platform. All courses (except those that take place during the final semester) end with an examination and students receive grades for that as well as their written assignments. In the third year there are specialized courses, the number and focus of which are organized according to the student choice. The students write a thesis from their chosen area of specialization and defend it during the final exit examinations. Graduates of the Interlinguistic Studies program have a basic knowledge in the areas of general and applied linguistics, international and intercultural communication as well as profound knowledge in the area of planned languages as well as the culture, literature and linguistics of Esperanto. According to the area of specialization, graduates will have additional skills in the areas of linguistics, literature, communication, translation or Esperanto didactics.
