Requirements for Admission to Universities in Poland

Each university has its own requirements depending on the programme you plan to apply for. They usually include good grades in your school certificate (the average should be at least 60% out of 100), sufficient knowledge of Polish or English (often checked at the interview with the candidate) and successful completion of entrance exams (if they are required for your programme). Additional documents may also sometimes be required, depending on the chosen speciality. Find out more about the requirements for different programmes here.

Stages of Admission to Universities in Poland

The admission process in Poland usually includes the following steps:

  • Choosing a university and programme. How to choose the right university and not to lose your time and money, learn here.
  • Submit your application online, as many universities have their own admission system, it's a good idea to check it out and fill the application correctly.
  • Send the required documents. Universities may have their own unique requirements depending on the speciality you are applying for, but you can find a general list of required documents for admission here.
  • Make the payment of the administrative fee and the first year's tuition. Paying money to the wrong bank account is unfortunately a very common mistake among international students while applying. In order not to lose your money, make sure that the account number you pay to is the correct one for your chosen university. This account number can usually be found in your personal account after registration in the admission system.
  • Receive confirmation of your enrolment (invitation letter) to apply for a student visa, we tell you more about this here.
