 Stepping Stones


Why to study in Poland?

Wide variety of Courses-Polish schools compete with each other not only to provide a wide variety of high quality courses, but also offer attractive tuition fees in programs such as MBBS, engineering, international business, tourism, hospitality and other courses.

POLAND (POLSKA) lies in the very heart of the European continent making it easy access to and from other popular European destinations.

Fees & other Schemes:- Unlike native Polish students, international students in Poland have to pay tuition fees – depending on the institution and the course you choose, your fees could be EUR 2000- EUR 5000. Compared with the UK and USA, this is a big saving.
Non-EU Students can also apply for the Polish Government Scholarship, or research the scholarships provided by individual universities.

Vibrant Student and Cultural Life:- As we all know, being a student is much more than only studying. It is only as important as the other components of higher education: partying, sports, music festivals, film festivals, hanging out with friends, going out of town for the weekends, etc. Over 60% of Poles speak English, making living and studying in Poland more attractive to foreign students.

Polish Hospitality:- Extraordinary hospitality is deeply rooted in Polish culture. As history is an important part of Polish identity almost every Pole will tell you breath-taking stories about their hometown, instantly becoming a free and attractive tour guide.

Student Visa requirements
In order to study in Poland, you will need to legalize your stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland. If you are a citizen of a European Union (EU) country and you would like to stay in Poland for longer than three months, you will need to register your stay in the country.

Visas are not required for holders of United Nations “laissez-passer.”

If you are a non-EU citizen, you will need to obtain a visa at a Polish consulate in your home country before your arrival in Poland. Once you have arrived in Poland, you will need to apply for a Temporary Stay Card 45 day before your visa expires in order to prolong your stay.

Visa approval to access Poland gives right of stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland only.

Educational Requirements for Student Visa
In order to study in Poland, you must have completed a secondary level education and be in possession of a leaving certificate that confirms that you are eligible to apply for university. If you passed the International Baccalaureate or European Baccalaureate exams, you may freely apply for undergraduate studies at a Polish university.

However, if you only have an equivalent qualification from your home country, you will need to have it legally recognized at one of the

Polish diplomatic outposts or another appropriate institution. This means certifying that your diploma is in accordance with the law of the country in which it was issued. Then you will have to verify it with the Polish law. This process of granting recognition of a degree from a foreign university is called notification.

Additionally, if you wish to be accepted for postgraduate studies in Poland, you will need to present an undergraduate diploma from a

Polish institution or an overseas equivalent. You must present notification of your foreign diploma to a Polish university by the end of the first term.
