Studies in Polish are only free of charge for the duration of the temporary protection, currently until 24 August 2023.

Check the list of fields of study.

The transfer request must be submitted at least one month before the beginning of the academic year. 2022/23, i.e. until 31 August.

The decision about the possibility of continuing studies is taken on a case-by-case basis by the deans of faculties, insofar as there are vacancies and it is possible to follow the study programme.

The dean confirms the achievements to date, which will be passed, and on this basis determines the semester from which the student will begin his/her studies, and indicates the subjects to be completed along with the deadline for completing them.

In the absence of documents, verification of the learning outcomes achieved in order to confirm the student’s previous achievements and to recognise the relevant periods of study on the basis of a submitted declaration may be carried out by a commission appointed by the dean or the head of the interdepartmental teaching unit.
