1. Fifteen years of the College
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Karkonosze College in Jelenia Góra (Karkonoska
Państwowa Szkoła Wyższa – KPSW) came into existence on
1st July 1998 and was one of the first eight State Higher
Vocational Schools set up by the Prime Minister’s order.
The College offers rich curricula, well qualified academic
staff, well equipped laboratories and education in a beautiful
and friendly environment. The College is the only autonomous higher education institution in the Karkonosze Region,
therefore it aspires to fulfil its cultural obligations, offering
a broad range of courses in the fields of social sciences
and humanities as well as natural sciences and technology.
What is more, it also aims to become the social and cultural centre of the subregion by housing such organizations
as the Karkonosze Academic Society and the Karkonosze
University of the Third Age, and providing a venue for the
meetings of other organisations such as the Citizens’ Forum:
A Partnership for the Karkonosze Region or RADAR – Jelenia
Góra Association of Army Radio Engineers. KPSW has been
closely cooperating with universities and colleges of Wrocław
since its foundation in 1998. The College owns a well-equipped hall of residence, which
provides comfortable accommodation in the immediate
vicinity of the college for students. Other facilities of KPSW
include a modernised sports hall and an indoor swimming
pool. The various forms of the financial aid to the students provided by the College include the needbased scholarship,
the special scholarship for persons with disabilities, and the
Rector’s scholarship for the best students. KPSW enables
students with disabilities to attend its courses, offering them
exceptional support in their education and rehabilitation.
The campus houses a specialised Centre of Osteoporosis
Treatment and Motor Rehabilitation OSTEOCYT.
The College’s modern Library and Academic Information
Centre is fully equipped with multimedia devices and
provides Internet access for each student. The library has a
reading room with a Braille display and an electronic magnifier for students with vision impairment. The College supports its Student Government and encourages various activities on the field of culture (e.g. the
Juwenalia, a students’ holiday), recreation, tourism and
sport, including the University Sports Association, which
allows the students to go in for many sports (competitive
or recreational). Student Research Clubs are active at each
faculty.
KPSW intensifies the international exchange of students
and lecturers, benefiting from its ERASMUS Charter. In
the course of the academic year and during the holidays students can go abroad to international conferences, seminars,
youth meetings and youth camps.
Each year, KPSW students participate in the International
Conference of Young Scientist – Universities of the Euroregion Nysa, organised by the Academic Coordination Centre
in the Euroregion Nysa.
The Karkonosze College intends to expand its educational
offer, as new specialities are being prepared and postgraduate studies are planned to be introduced.

2. Where we are
Location
Lower Silesia province is one of the 16 Polish provinces, with
its capital in Wrocław. It was formed in 1999 out of the lands
of former Wrocław province, Legnica province, Jelenia Góra
province, Wałbrzych province and parts of Leszno and Kalisz
provinces. Lower Silesia province is located in the south-west of the country and contains a large part of historical
Silesia, and the eastern Upper Lusatia. This region, rich in
various landscapes, is an interesting part of Poland. Jelenia
Góra is one of the most beautiful cities in the province. It is
situated in the Jelenia Góra Basin and borders on the steep
slopes of the Karkonosze Mountains, the Izera Mountains
and the Izera Foothills, the Kaczawskie Mountains and the
Rudawy Janowickie Mountains. The Bóbr River cuts through
the bottom of the basin. The Kamienna, a left tributary of
the Bóbr, forms the axis of the city, along which the districts
Cieplice and Sobieszów are situated. The centre of Jelenia
Góra lies where the Kamienna and the Bóbr meet. The city
was founded in 1108, when Bolesław Wrymouth arrived in
these parts. According to a legend, he met a beautiful deer
and founded the town.
Jelenia Góra is located in the center of the Valley of Palaces
and Gardens, a complex of historic buildings which are being
gradually restored and put into use. Jelenia Góra is also the
sports centre of the Jelenia Góra Basin. The best mountain
cycling, orienteering and climbing routes can be found here.
In winter, it is the perfect place to practice alpine skiing
and cross-country skiing. The city’s Jelenia Góra Aero Club
enables all interested people to learn how to fly, glide and
parachute.

Campus
Since 1st October 2003, KPSW has had its seat in an ex-military campus at ul. Lwówecka 18, located in a beautiful park
which covers 12.5 hectares. The complex served as barracks
since its erection. What is more, it was used in the post-war training of military personnel for nearly 60 years. The
first barracks in this part of Jelenia Góra were built at the
beginning of the twentieth century, and before the Second
World War they were followed by further ones, called von
Neumann Barracks. The 1st Silesian Rifle Battalion No. 5
under von Neumann, which was stationed here, was formed
from the Silesian Infantry Battalion. In August 1914 the 1st
Silesian Rifles Battalion No. 5 went to the First World War
and at the beginning of 1919 the remnants of the battalion
returned to Jelenia Gora. The unit was disbanded in the
same year, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty
of Versailles. The barracks, however, did not remain empty,
as the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion, accompanied by
the 7th and 8th Company of the 7th Infantry Regiment of

the Reichswehr arrived in Jelenia Góra. The army reform
in 1936 resulted in the creation of the 83rd Infantry Regiment, which set out to war at the beginning of August
1939. During World War II the reserve of the 28th and 83rd
Regiment were stationed in the barracks, and other German
units stayed there to rest. After the war Jelenia Góra became a Polish garrison and the 10th Infantry Division was
dispatched here in order to support the state authorities.
The 29th Infantry Regiment and the 39th Light Artillery
Regiment were stationed in the Grunow barracks, which are
now the seat of the Karkonosze College. In 1949 the 29th
Infantry Regiment was reorganized to become a motorized
infantry regiment and left Jelenia Góra, and the 39th Light
Artillery Regiment was relocated to Strzegom. Soldiers
belonging to combat units started being replaced by soldiers
receiving their military education. The barracks served as
a military education centre since 1948. The educational
activity was initiated by the Infantry Officer School and the
Law Officer School, transferred to Jelenia Góra from Łódź
and Warsaw respectively. Furthermore, the Topographical
Officer School functioned here in years 1951 – 1955. When
the Infantry Officer School was disbanded in 1955, it was
replaced by the Radio Engineering Officer School, which
previously had had its seat in Beniaminów near Warsaw. In
1967 the Radio Engineering Warrant Officer School was established. The Radio Engineering Officer School educated
many specialists in radiolocation and aircraft equipment in
its 50 year history. On its basis, the Higher Officer’s Academy of Radio Engineering was formed, which in turn was
transformed into the Centre of the Radioelectronic Training
on 1st September 1994. The school, in cooperation with the
Wrocław University of Technology organised engineering
courses for civilians and soldiers. When it became known
that the school would be closed, efforts to adapt the huge
post-military area to civil purposes as effectively as possible
began. Nevertheless, the authorities of KPSW had to put a
lot of effort to carry out the idea of transforming a part of the
barracks into a campus.

School Complex in Jelenia Góra – Cieplice at ul. Leśna 5.
The complex included a teaching building with a sports hall
and a boarding house with a canteen. It gave the College
new opportunities, namely to convert a number of rooms to
a lecture theatre, to convert the boarding house into a hall
of residence and expand it, and, ultimately, to receive those
buildings from the Provincial Assembly of Lower Silesia.
Kolegium Karkonoskie came into the ownership of a villa

Góra Teacher Training College of Foreign Languages, whose
structures formed the basis for the Institute of Western
Languages.

with disabilities
- changing the form of a test or an exam from written to
oral and vice versa;
- allowing the students to use computers and laptops
during the classes;
- providing the students with tests and other materials in
an enlarged font;
- providing the students with printed or electronic copies

or hearing,
A disability-friendly college
KPSW supports disabled persons in their education. The
support aims to improve the conditions of education for students with a disability certificate, as well as to increase the
quality of education for all people with disabilities attending the classes. The equipment owned by the College and
various forms of support offered to disabled persons by the
academic staff are some of the ways in which KPSW pursues
its objectives regarding:
- giving equal opportunities to students with disabilities,
- promoting social rehabilitation by modernising the process
of education,
- improving the quality of education,
- taking advantage of modern equipment,
- providing a wide range of therapeutic physical rehabilitation using the College’s and the local Cieplice Spa’s personnel and technical resources,
- providing professional medical and psychological support.
The offer addressed to students with disabilities is expanded each year, which makes KPSW a friendly and innovative centre of integration for persons with and without
disabilities. Rector’s Plenipotentiary for Students with
Disabilities, supported by the College authorities, launches
various initiatives in order to achieve that objective. The
Centre for the Rehabilitation and Integration of Students
with Disabilities (Centrum Rehabilitacji i Integracji Osób
Niepełnosprawnych – CERIN) is going to be open by the
College in the immediate future. Initially. the Centre will
provide physical and psychological rehabilitation primarily
for all students from the universities and colleges of Jelenia
Góra. In the next stage of the Centre’s development, students of other Polish colleges and universities able to continue their education in their chosen programme at the
universities and colleges of Jelenia Góra will also be admitted for a rehabilitation term (in accordance with ECTS).
Foreign students will be able study in this mode owing to
the two philology programmes (English and German).
In order to undergo a series of rehabilitation treatments
coordinated by CERIN, a student with disabilities could
also take a leave of absence from his/her university or college
for a term or a shorter period of time. In the
final stage further programmes will be internationalised, which will give foreign students an
easier access to the education with rehabilitation.
Technical resources
With the support of the EU, the College built a new sports
hall and an indoor swimming pool. Both of those buildings
have advanced rehabilitation facilities. The extensively
renovated hall of residence (with hotel standards) has an
outside lift leading to the ground floor, which can be used
by people on wheelchairs. Integration rooms, in which are
a disabled person and his/her carer can live, are situated on
the ground floor.
Education with the rehabilitation of students with
disabilities
KPSW promotes the continuous adaptation of the teaching
process to the psychophysical abilities of disabled students,
which however does not affect the level of courses. The adaptation involves:
- the forms of participation in classes,
- the forms of obtaining credits and taking exams.
The individual forms of education are designed by Rector’s
Plenipotentiary for Students with Disabilities. The adaptation, depending on the type of the student's disability, may
take the following forms:
- increasing the time limits for writing tests and exams by
up to 50%;
Persons suffering from upper extremities paresis can use
a computer station equipped with a keyboard cover which
allows them to press buttons precisely, and with a special
mouse which can be handled with one’s entire palm or foot.
Technical equipment for
hearing impaired people
The College owns induction loop amplifiers and individual
FM sets which allow for the precise reception of lectures
in lecture rooms and even for an individual reception of
environmental sounds by persons with hearing losses.
Psychological and pedagogic support for students
The College’s staff run the Inter-faculty Consultative and
Advisory Centre for students. The team of lecturers who
give advice and specialist support for all students is composed of psychologists, educationalists and sociologists.

dozen meters away from the educational buildings. It provides the access to library materials and information resources
necessary to implement the curriculum for students and
academic teachers. The library serves as the main library of
the College and a scientific information centre. It collects
library materials connected with the available education
programmes. The project called “The conversion of a former
military building into a scientific library in Jelenia Góra”
was substantially completed in June 2007, and financially
completed in October 2007. The project was co-financed
by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under Priority 3 “The local development
of the Integrated Regional Operational Programme” and by
the state of Poland. The funds for the project consisted in
75% of the subsidies of the European Regional Development
Fund, in 15 % of the College’s own funds, and in 10 % of
funds from the state budget. As a result of the project, a
building which had been used as a military canteen for many
years, was given a new practical function.
The outcome of the project is a building that currently
serves as an open-access academic library with the floor surface of 1,735 m² and the capacity of 13,128 m3. The modern
computerised library, together with an archive and a scientific information centre, makes a significant contribution to
the improvement of education conditions in the region in
terms of higher vocational education.
All rooms are accessible to persons with disabilities, and
reading places are equipped with modern technical devices adapted to their needs (e.g. a Braille display for blind
persons and an electronic magnifier suitable for visually
impaired persons). The core resources of the library consist
of materials from such fields as the humanities, social sciences, engineering sciences, medical sciences and literature.
Materials used in the learning of English and German constitute a substantial part of the library’s collection.

regulations. The library collection comprises 61,200 units of
inventory. The library stores also diploma papers written by
