How to apply to a Polish university

Follow six practical steps, from your shortlist to planning your arrival.

  1. Choose your program and university. Compare subjects, course content, teaching language, location and career opportunities in our program search.
  2. Check entry requirements. Confirm accepted qualifications, language evidence, deadlines and any entrance exam.
  3. Prepare your documents. Ask which diplomas, transcripts, ID documents and certificates are required, and whether translations, recognition, legalisation or an apostille are needed.
  4. Apply through the university. Use its official admissions portal and follow the instructions for fees and document submission.
  5. Keep your admission letter. You may need it for your visa or residence application.
  6. Plan your arrival. Arrange accommodation, health coverage, travel and the documents needed for your legal stay.
