Equivalent levels of maturity subject results (languages and mathematics)
_______________________________________
Candidates with IB diplomas:
| subjects | levels | they should be entered by candidates into the UW registration system as the following levels: |
| mother tongue or foreign language | Ab initio or B SL | SL |
| A (SL or HL) or literature and performance* | HL | |
| B HL | HL | |
| Mathematical Studies SL | SL |
* foreign languages at level A (HL or SL) or literature and performance are taken into account as bilingual in the recruitment process at the UW (this rule doesn’t apply to the Polish language) – please check Bilingual level below.
Note on the Polish language:
In the case of the Polish language exam for the IB diploma:
- levels A (HL or SL) and B HL are taken into account as HL (advanced level); a candidate should choose the option “Polish language” and enter his/her result in the field HL level on his/her registration account;
- levels Ab initio and B SL are taken into account as SL (standard level); a candidate should choose the option “Polish language” and enter his/her result in the field SL level on his/her registration account.
If admissions rules for the programme so provide, in case of candidates who do not have the possibility of taking Polish language examination within the International Baccalaureate (IB) we take into account language A or literature and performance. A candidate should choose the option: “language A/literature and performance (in case of lack of Polish language)” on his/her registration account. Additionally, s/he should indicate the language, which s/he has passed on the level A/literature and performance (a candidate chooses e.g. ‘IB English language (A/literature and performance)’).
Important! In the qualification procedure of candidates with the IB diplomas for studies conducted in the Polish language, the admissions committees may require the attestation certifying candidates’ Polish language skills – more information

advanced level |
* foreign languages at the level L2+3 are taken into account as bilingual in the recruitment process at the UW (this rule doesn’t apply to the Polish language) – please check Bilingual level below.
Note on the Polish language:
If admissions rules for the programme so provide, in case of candidates who do not have the possibility of taking Polish language examination within the European Baccalaureate (EB), we take into account language L1 or L1+3.

BILINGUAL LEVEL
The EB result of a foreign language at L2+3 and the IB result of a foreign languages at A (except for Polish language) or literature and performance are taken into account as bilingual and converted into the advanced level according to the following formula:
R =D x 4/3
where:
- D is the result at the bilingual level
- R is the result at the advanced level
The result R doesn’t exceed 100%.
