Accreditation

DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.

Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.

Student residence permits issued in Poland

Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for Poland is not built yet.

No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.

Jagiellonian's own fee page does not publish a single figure — it states tuition is set per programme by Rector's ordinance and directs applicants to the IRK application system to see the exact fee for their chosen programme. The €5,000–15,000/year range shown by third-party aggregators is not independently confirmed here. Treat €5,000 as an unconfirmed floor, not an estimate.
Estimated cost of living in Kraków
€600/month
Estimated, not verified
Estimate for a frugal international student: shared room, home cooking, public transport, basic phone/internet.
This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →
