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.
