The focus of our paper is to broaden our knowledge of the topic of Ukrainian students in the city of Poznań. More exactly, in our project, we aim to find out how many Ukrainians are studying in Poznań and examine the reasons why the students of Ukrainian nationality decided to choose Poznań, a city in Poland inhabited by more than 540 thousand inhabitants, as a convenient place to study. Also, we would like to know why their target university is Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań – the reference point in our study. Furthermore, we will examine what languages do Ukrainians use on a daily basis and whether the particular linguistic phenomenon – the code-switching – takes place also outside the university. Last but not least, we strive to find out whether the students of this particular nationality find any difficulties in adapting to the Polish university environment and if so, what were the instances of such difficulties.
