Why should you pursue your higher education in Poland?

Posted date: 20 Sep 2021

Poland is the most populous of the East European nations that joined the EU in May 2004. Poland is equivalent in size to Italy or Germany, and with a population of almost 39 million, it is one of Central and Eastern Europe's most influential and outstanding countries. Poland is a stable democracy with a fascinating history, a rich cultural heritage, and a number of natural wonders.

The Polish university education system has a 650-year tradition of producing high-ranking experts. It was profitable not only for Poland, but also for many other countries throughout the world where Poles introduced their expertise and innovative energy. State (public) and non-State (non-public) institutions make up Poland's higher education system. Non-State higher education institutions are created with the help of a permit from the Minister of Science and Higher Education, and they have legal status after they are entered into the Minister's registry of non-State higher education institutions. Compulsory 15-week practical placements are major components of training at these universities.

Full-time, part-time, and extramural higher education programmes are available. Unless the regulations of a higher education institution specify otherwise, full-time studies are the standard form of study. A secondary school diploma is the minimum prerequisite for admission to a higher education institution. Admission procedures to study programmes are established separately by higher education institutions.

In Poland, full-time students are permitted to work during the months of July, August, and September. A work permit is required for the remainder of the year. A work permit may be granted if no EU citizen is available to fill the position. The employer is responsible for all formalities. International students with only a student visa are not permitted to work. Students having work permits in Poland are allowed to work without permission.
