How to apply to a university in Poland?

Many people dream of studying abroad, but feel overwhelmed with the application process, the requirements, and the sheer amount of information they need to read and digest. Another important issue is the cost of education, which may be lowered thanks to scholarships, but it might be hard to get your head around the scholarship options available to foreign candidates. During our webinar, we will talk about all these matters and answer any questions you might have.

Meeting focus

We have invited an expert form the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), to explain, in simple terms, how to apply to a university in Poland. We will focus on the following topics:

• What is the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA)?
• What questions do foreign candidates ask most frequently?
• What aspects of the university application process are most important?
• What does “recognition of qualifications” mean?
• What scholarships are available in Poland to foreing university candidates and students?

“Working with candidates and students from around the world gives me a lot of satisfaction. I graduated from a secondary school in Dublin, Ireland, so as someone who has experienced the process of moving to a foreign country as well as learning in a foreign school, in a foreign language, I know how important the support of the institution and its employees is for the newcomers.”
