On completing the liceum, students take a final exam called a "matura" (or "maturity exam") which is an equivalent of to British A-Level.[1] About 100 days before the exam the traditional "studniówka" (prom ball) is organized.[2]

Liceums are attended by students aged from 16 to 19 or 21. There are several types:

  • General Liceum (16-19)
  • Specialized Liceum (16-19)
  • Supplementary Liceum (18-21)
