Study abroad at Poland

Poland is one of the largest and most sought-after higher education destinations in the European Union and Schengen Area, globally recognized for centuries of academic excellence anchored by prestigious universities like the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University in Krakow (founded in 1364), Warsaw University of Technology, and Medical University of Warsaw. Poland offers over 800 accredited degree programs taught 100% in English, particularly across General Medicine (MD), Dentistry, Computer Science and Software Engineering, Aviation, and International Business. International students benefit from world-class European degrees, highly affordable tuition fees, low living costs, safe cities, and full legal rights to work up to 20 hours per week during studies and apply for a 9-month post-study job search residence permit.

Tuition fees in Poland are very competitive for European Union standards. Bachelor's and master's degree programs in Engineering, IT, and Business taught in English range from €2,000 to €4,500 per year (approx. 9,000–20,000 PLN). Accredited English-taught degrees in General Medicine (6-year MD) range between €11,000 and €15,000 per year, and Dentistry ranges from €12,000 to €16,000 per year. Preparatory English and Polish foundation courses cost approximately €2,500 to €3,500 per year. Monthly living costs average €450 to €750.

Non-EU students require a Polish National D-Type Study Visa (Wiza Krajowa D). Key requirements include: official Certificate of Acceptance / Enrollment from an accredited Polish university, receipt confirming payment of first-year tuition fees, proof of accommodation (dormitory guarantee or rental contract), travel medical insurance covering minimum €30,000, clean criminal background check, and bank solvency statement showing proof of sufficient funds to cover living expenses and return flight (approx. €4,500–€5,500). After arrival, students apply for the Temporary Residence Card (Karta Pobytu).
