ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

You do not need to take a university entrance exam to study at this university. You can enrol with your transcript and your high school diploma. If you plan to study in English, you must document your English level. Students whose foreign language level is not sufficient can attend a preparatory programme.

LIVING CONDITIONS IN POLAND

In Poland, it is not only the high-quality education and safety but also the low cost of living that make the country very attractive to European and international students. Because of Poland’s ongoing economic development, the cost of living is considerably lower than in other European countries.

In general, you will need about 500 USD per month (about 1,800 PLN) for accommodation, food and transport. Eating and drinking out is very cheap, and a monthly transport pass costs only 15–17 USD with the student discount.

Compared with most European countries, Poland is extremely affordable and also offers very reasonable and delicious options when it comes to the cost of eating and drinking. Known for flavours close to the Turkish palate, one of the country’s best-loved dishes is the Sanok dish. This type of dish, prepared by combining beef with a special sauce, is also preferred by many students, tourists and travellers. Another of Poland’s most important regional specialities is Flaki soup. This soup contains beef, carrots, parsley and plenty of spices. Zapiekanka, a treat to which you can add any toppings you like on a baguette, is also one of the snacks you can easily find in the country.

ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION

Accommodation – Arranging accommodation is very important when planning to study abroad. Taking our students’ requests, preferences and sensitivities on this subject into account, we provide solutions in coordination with our partner schools. The accommodation options offered to students who want to study abroad are generally as follows.

ACCOMMODATION AND STUDENT DORMITORIES

There are dormitory facilities on the university campus. In addition, students can rent an apartment or a room at affordable prices close to the university.

The cost of living varies by city. In larger cities such as Warsaw or Krakow, the monthly cost of renting an apartment is higher and can reach up to 400 USD. In smaller student cities such as Gdansk, Poznan or Wroclaw, the cost is lower. A great way to meet new people and to keep the cost of living in Poland to a minimum is to share an apartment with locals. This way you will only need to pay around 180–240 USD per month.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The university offers scholarship opportunities. Some scholarships are available to successful students who are not financially well off. You can contact the university for this.

YÖK Equivalence of Polish Universities

Universities in Poland have YÖK equivalence. That means that once you complete your education in Poland and receive your diploma, there is nothing to prevent you from practising your profession in Türkiye with this diploma. In addition, because you graduate from a country that is a member of the European Union, you can practise your profession anywhere in the world, not only in Türkiye. This gives you the opportunity to build an international career.

Among the universities in Poland with YÖK equivalence, the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, the University of Wroclaw, the University of Lodz and the University of Poznan stand out. At these universities you can obtain YÖK equivalence for all departments, including Medicine, Engineering, Law, Business, Computer Science and Economics.

How to Apply for YÖK Equivalence

After graduating from Polish universities, you can apply online through the YÖK website to obtain YÖK equivalence, once you have prepared the required documents and paid the fee. The documents requested by YÖK are generally the diploma and transcript you received from the Polish university. However, additional documents may be requested for some universities or departments. For this reason, you should speak directly with YÖK or your education advisors to get precise information about the documents you need to prepare.

After your application is complete, YÖK begins a review process. This process usually takes a few months. However, depending on workload, it may take less or more time. A rejection is rarely issued as a result of the evaluation, and the great majority of applications receive YÖK equivalence.
