Typical length for a European Bologna-system bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme. Some professional or engineering programmes run 3.5-4 years, so confirm your specific programme's length with the university.
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.
Enrollment & international mix

ETER ingestion for this institution is not built yet.

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.

Figure is converted from PLN at an approximate exchange rate, not the university's own quoted EUR figure — confirm the current PLN amount and live exchange rate before budgeting. Earlier cohorts (2023/24) paid a different rate (22,000 PLN), so this changes year to year. Re-checked this cycle: an official University of Warsaw exchange-rate notice (dated 3 Aug 2026) explicitly re-confirms PLN 27,600/year for students starting in the 2026/2027 academic year itself. No 2027/28 rate has been published yet.

Poland's capital runs noticeably above Kraków or other Polish cities, mainly on rent.
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 →
