How to Apply to an International University in Poland in 2023

Poland is a unique European country with a rich history of resistance groups, fighters, and individuals who have risen stronger from their hardships.

Poland is a top choice for international students due to its welcoming culture and low living costs. With numerous universities, it's no wonder why so many students worldwide are drawn to studying in Poland.

We have created a straightforward guide to help you with the application process and make the transition smoother.

1 . Here are some universities in Poland that you should consider for your studies.

1. University of Warsaw
2. Jagiellonian University
3. Warsaw University of Technology
4. AGH University of Science and Technology
5. University of Wroclaw
6. Adam Mickiewicz University
7. Gdansk University of Technology
8. Lodz University
9. Nicolaus Copernicus University
10. Poznan University of Technology

So as you know, the cost of education can vary depending on the specific program and level of study within these universities. It's always best for you to check the official websites of the universities and the particular programs you are interested in to get accurate and up-to-date information on tuition fees.

2. Get Ready to Apply.

If you are a non-EU/EEA student planning to study in Poland, your priority should be obtaining a VISA. The process can be time-consuming, so it's essential to start preparing the necessary documents and scheduling appointments as soon as possible. EU/EEA students do not need a VISA to study in Poland.

To apply for a Polish VISA, visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or contact your local consulate or embassy for help. Also, could you explore scholarship opportunities for international students in Poland? Several options are available, and you can even check out the AtoZ Serwis Plus Scholarship for additional financial support.

3 . Can you suggest where I can apply for a Master's degree in Poland?

If you're interested in studying in Poland, you'll need to visit the website of the university you're interested in and follow their application process. Unlike other countries, Poland doesn't have a centralised application website. However, on the AtoZ Serwis Plus website, you can find helpful information such as frequently asked questions, information about life in Poland, and a list of featured universities with contact information and program details. Taking the time to research and apply directly to universities will be worth it.

4. You must fulfil specific language requirements to apply to a Polish university.

To meet the requirements for both your VISA and your Master's program, you must prove your proficiency in English on your application documents. Therefore, it is essential to dedicate time and effort to pass one of the following tests:

• PTE Academic
• IELTS Academic
• TOEFL iBT
• Duolingo
• C1 Advanced

5. Documents Required for the Application

General application documents

There is a list of minimum requirements that all students have to meet to get into a Master’s programme. This list includes:

• a matriculation certificate or equivalent document
• a Bachelor's diploma
• an English proficiency test

Also, the most common admission documents required by Polish universities are:

• undergraduate diploma or an official replacement (issued by the university)
• CV with details about the school and professional career (optional)
• one academic reference and one personal reference
• filled-in application form
• four passport-size photographs
• copy of the ID
• proof of English language proficiency (unless your previous degree was taught in English)
• medical certificate with no contraindication for studying
• proof of paying the admission fee

 Specific entry requirements

If you opt for a Master’s programme in the department of Arts, Physical Education, Teaching, Medical or Technical universities, you must take an additional aptitude test.

Also, depending on the programme, other documents might include:

• certified secondary school certificate or an official replacement issued by the candidate's high school
• a supplement to the undergraduate diploma or a copy of your Bachelor’s thesis

6. University application deadlines in Poland

In most cases, the academic year at Polish universities consists of 2 semesters of 15 weeks each.

• Beginning of October: Fall semester starts
• Mid-February: Fall semester ends
• Mid-February: Spring semester starts
• End of June: Spring semester ends
• Beginning of July – end of September: Summer vacation

As far as application deadlines are concerned, they vary from university to university. Here are some expected deadlines:

• Application deadlines for EU/EEA students: mid-September (the latest)
• Non-EU/EEA students: mid-July to mid-August (the latest)

7. Final steps after receiving the university acceptance letter

Firstly: Woo hoo! You got in!

Secondly: Let’s make a shortlist of things you should prepare and the errands you need to run once you get there.

• As an EU/EEA student, you won’t need a VISA, but no matter what country you come from, you must apply for a temporary residence permit, as your Master’s degree will surely be longer than three months.
• Don’t forget to call your university’s International Relations Office and get more information on practical aspects, like coming to Poland, medical care and insurance, your driving license, and more.
• If you’re a non-EU/EEA student, for the VISA, you’ll need (or at least it's highly recommended) to get medical insurance in your home country or immediately after you arrive. If you don’t have this covered, you will have to pay for every health service you will get, and that will rack your bill to a substantial sum.

• For EU/EEA students: you’re not off the hook: get your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), or else you won’t be eligible for free health insurance.
• To ensure students have access to the best insurance out there, Studyportals found a reliable partner in Aon. They offer global coverage, multilingual support and an online account to manage your insurance. Via Aon, you can quickly get advice based on your needs: Get free advice now.
