INFORMATION
We would like to inform you that pursuant to the Act of 4 April 2025 amending certain acts in order to eliminate irregularities in the visa system of the Republic of Poland (Journal of Laws of 2025, item 622), from 1 July 2025 there will be a fundamental change in the rules for admitting foreigners to studies. The fundamental changes concern, in particular, the introduction of a requirement to verify knowledge of the language in which education will be conducted at the level of language proficiency, not lower than B2, and the introduction in certain cases of a requirement to conduct entrance exams. In order to implement the above changes, the University is currently working on a package of internal regulations regarding the recruitment of foreigners to studies. After their adoption, they will be immediately made public.
&
Due to the pending legal regulations currently being prepared by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education regarding entrance examinations, including language proficiency exams, the scope of the exams as well as the planned dates for their administration (currently scheduled for the period of 14–18 July 2025) may be subject to change.
The University is making every effort to ensure that the admission process is carried out in full compliance with applicable regulations. We understand that the current situation may cause uncertainty and inconvenience for candidates. However, our priority is to ensure a reliable and transparent admission procedure in accordance with the applicable regulations, which have undergone significant changes in 2025, although not all implementing regulations have yet been issued.
We kindly ask you to regularly check the website https://dwm.prz.edu.pl/rekg/kandydaci-zagraniczni/studia-i-stopnia, where we will publish all updates regarding the admission process as they become available.
