A welcome from Poland
Poland is a modern and dynamic country full of life-time opportunities for young people willing to get quality-based education, improve skills and boost experience. It is the hub bridging East and West, North and South, open for new ideas, investments and ready for rapid change. With over 1.9 million students and one of the highest scholarisation indices in Europe it is the only European country to demonstrate positive economic growth in 2009 and the highest growth among OECD countries.
Polish universities are a part of this success story. They are moving forward and constantly modernise their structure, organisation and curricula in an effort to function freely in the international community and are getting more and more internationalised. You can choose from the variety of studying programmes at all levels and find many research opportunities. Excellent and open-minded academic and scientific staff, modern infrastructure and well-equipped laboratories are at your service. It only depends on you whether you will bring this chance into play.
We look forward to welcoming you,
