Important Notes
Non-EU students need a National D visa to study in Poland; apply at the Polish consulate after receiving your conditional acceptance letter.
After arrival, non-EU students must apply for a Temporary Residence Permit (Karta Pobytu) at the local Voivode office — do this within 30 days of arrival.
English-taught programs in Poland have seen significant growth — but verify NARIC/Enic recognition if your degree will be used for employment outside Poland.
