Universities and Programs in Poland
Why Study in Poland?
Poland is an increasingly popular study destination because of its high-quality education, affordable tuition, and wide variety of programs in English. Public universities in Poland are known for lower tuition fees compared with Western Europe and North America, and the country offers numerous scholarships and financial support schemes for international students.
(tuition ranges about €1,400 – €4,000 per year on average)
Scholarships for Undergraduates
Poland offers a range of scholarships to help cover tuition and living costs for undergraduate students:
- Erasmus+ Study Grants – support study or exchange for one or two semesters abroad (including Poland), covering travel, living costs, and sometimes tuition depending on agreements.
- National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) Scholarships – fully funded or partial awards for bachelor’s students from many countries; often include monthly stipends.
- University-Specific Scholarships – many Polish universities offer merit-based awards, tuition waivers, or stipends (e.g., University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University).
Some scholarships may cover full tuition, monthly stipends, travel, and health insurance — especially under programs like Erasmus+.
