WHY CHOOSE TO STUDY IN POLAND

Thursday - 18/12/2025

One of the biggest reasons Poland attracts international students is its low tuition fees and living costs, scholarships ranging from 10-100%, European-standard education quality, excellent support services for international students, friendly people, and a high level of safety.

Top 8 reasons that make Poland an attractive study-abroad destination:

1. High-quality education system

Poland’s education system has a tradition of around 650 years, enriched by generations of teaching experience, professionalism, and continuous innovation. The entire education quality framework is monitored and evaluated by the National Accreditation Committee, ensuring the effectiveness of each institution. Poland is also part of the Bologna Process, meaning 100% of degrees follow European standards and are internationally recognized.

Polish universities are ranked among the Top 500 best universities in the world, including prestigious institutions such as:

• Jagiellonian University (established in 1364, ranked 460 worldwide);
• Kozminski University (ranked 15th globally in Finance programs);
• University of Warsaw (established in 1816, ranked 500 worldwide).

Lecturers in Poland are experts with deep knowledge and teaching experience, meeting the demands of the global labor market. During their studies, students may participate in exchange programs or transfer to other EU countries such as France, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, etc.

2. Low study costs

Tuition fees
Poland offers extremely affordable tuition compared to other European countries. Tuition for most programs ranges from €1,500-€5,000 per year.

Living costs
On average, international students need €300-€500 per month, including:

• Accommodation: €150-€300;
• Food: €100-€150;
• Entertainment: €30-€50;
• Transportation: €10-€20;
• Phone, internet, etc.: €20-€40.

These expenses may vary depending on each student’s lifestyle.

Accommodation options
Students in Poland can stay in dormitories, shared apartments, or private rooms. Dorms are the cheapest option (€130-€160/month). Shared apartments cost around €180-€200/month, while private rooms cost €300-€400/month.

3. Opportunities for part-time work, long-term employment, and residency after graduation

International students in Poland are allowed to work part-time during their studies as long as they hold a temporary residence permit or student visa. After graduation, students also have the opportunity to stay and work in Poland or elsewhere in Europe.

4. Opportunities for travel and cultural experiences across Europe

As a member of the Schengen Area (26 countries in Central and Western Europe), students in Poland can travel freely without applying for additional visas. This is an ideal opportunity to explore Europe’s rich cultural heritage and famous landmarks. Within just a two-hour flight, students can visit major cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, or Venice.

5. Stable security and safety

Compared to many European countries, Poland is considered very safe. Even Nordic countries, known for safety, still have higher crime rates than Poland. Students from different ethnicities, religions, and cultural backgrounds can feel secure living and studying here.

6. A rapidly growing economy

Poland’s economy has grown rapidly over the past two decades-more than 4% annually-and is the fastest-growing economy in Europe. Massive investments have flowed into Polish companies and infrastructure, making Poland the sixth-largest economy in the EU. As of 2017, Poland celebrated 26 consecutive years of economic growth, an EU record.

7. Rich and unique cultural heritage

Poland’s culture is globally recognized for its historical legacy and contemporary achievements. The country has produced five Nobel Prize-winning authors. Cultural institutions offer high-quality entertainment suited to all audiences. Poland also hosts numerous festivals, book fairs, music events, and various cultural activities year-round.

Studying in Poland is an excellent choice for students seeking exposure to a deep cultural heritage, modern European lifestyle, affordable costs, a safe environment, and strong career opportunities.
