How to apply

Choose Polish or English
Full-time study in Polish at public universities is free for EU citizens. English-taught degrees charge tuition to everyone.
Register in the university’s system
Each university runs its own online recruitment, usually opening in the spring and closing in July, with extra rounds in September if places remain.
Legalise your diploma
Your school certificate needs an apostille or legalisation, and a sworn translation.
Check recognition
Diplomas from EU, OECD and several other countries are recognised automatically. Others need recognition by the education authority.

English-taught degrees have tuition set by each university, typically well below western European levels. Medicine in English is the most expensive.

English-taught degrees ask for B2 English. Polish-taught degrees ask for B1 or B2 Polish.

Non-EU students need a national visa, then a temporary residence permit once in Poland.
