The effects of globalization, as well as many possibilities of easy and cheap ways of travelling, have led to the increase in number of different types of university studies conducted in English. This paper describes advantages and disadvantages after seven years of experience of conducting three-semester MSc Studies in Civil Engineering in English at Gdansk University of Technology, Poland. The studies started in 2009 after a few years of preparations. Some new and attractive methods of teaching were introduced. They include advanced approaches to visualization of the material presented during lectures and some e-learning forms as a support to classical way of teaching. The total number of students enrolled in the programme within seven years is equal to 345, including 218 foreigners. The studies are nowadays recognized in Poland and abroad. They offer effective teaching programme with interesting lectures conducted by experienced staff members of the university. The number of applications increases nearly from year to year, including rapid increase in applications from outside EU in recent editions.
