Polish
university education system has a history of 650 years of
educating high profile proffesionals. It resulted with a
profit not only for Poland, but also for many countries all
over the world, where the Poles brought their proffesionalism
and the spirit of innovation. Want some examples? Ignacy Domeyko established the geology research in
XIXth century Chile. Between 1872 and 1876 Ernest
Malinowski built the world's highest located railroad
in Peru. Bronisław Malinowski was a creator of modern
anthropology. Ten Nobel Prizes were awarded to Polish
artists, scientists and other public figures. Maria
Skłodowska-Curie is one of only four laureates to
receive a prize twice |
The structure of studies
Since
2007/2008 academic year Polish higher education system has
been divided to three stages, which are: Bachelor (Licencjat,
Inżynier), Master (Magister), and Doctor (Doktor). This system
applies to all fields of education except Law, Pharmacy,
Psychology, Veterinary Medicine, Medicine and Dentistry, which
are still based on two-stage system (Master and Doctor).
Q:
What do I need to enroll?
A: To qualify all international applicants
must first meet the minimum requirements for entry into higher
education in their own country, have a matriculation
certificate or equivalent document; command of English (at
least on an intermediate level) is also required.
Some departments of the arts, physical education, departments
preparing students for the teaching profession, and the like,
organize additional aptitude tests.
All graduating from Polish
institutions of higher education receive a Diploma
Supplement. The Supplement is available free of charge and
is issued in Polish, and on request in other languages
(English, German, French, Spanish or Russian). Since Poland
ratified the Lisbon Convention on Recognition of Degrees in
2004 recognition of Polish diplomas has become easier
inter-nationally.
