LIVING CONDITIONS IN POLAND
In Poland, it is not only high-quality education and safety but also a low cost of living that makes the country very attractive for European and international students. Because of Poland’s ongoing economic development, the cost of living is significantly lower than in other European countries.
In general, you will need approximately 500 USD per month (approximately 1,800 PLN) for accommodation, food and transportation. Eating and drinking out is very cheap, and a monthly transport pass costs only 15-17 USD with a student discount.
Compared with most European countries, Poland is extremely affordable economically, and it also offers very affordable and delicious options in terms of food and drink costs. Known for flavors close to the Turkish palate, one of the country’s most loved dishes is Sanok-style dishes. This type of dish, prepared by combining beef with a special sauce, is preferred by many students, tourists and travelers. Another of Poland’s most important regional dishes is Flaki soup. This soup contains beef, carrots, parsley and plenty of spices. Zapiekanka, a treat on which you can have the toppings of your choice added onto baguette bread, is another snack you can easily find in the country.
ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION
Accommodation – When planning to study abroad, organizing accommodation is very important. Taking into account our students’ requests, preferences and sensitivities in this regard, we provide solutions in coordination with our partner schools. The accommodation solutions offered to students who want to study abroad are generally as follows.
ACCOMMODATION AND STUDENT DORMITORIES
Dormitory accommodation is available on the university campus. Students can also rent an apartment or a room at affordable prices near 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 go 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 minimize the cost of living in Poland 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 for successful students in financial need. You can contact the university for this.
Recognition (YÖK Equivalence) of Polish Universities
Universities in Poland have YÖK (Turkish Council of Higher Education) equivalence. This means that after you complete your education in Poland and receive your diploma, there is no obstacle to practicing your profession in Turkey with this diploma. Moreover, since you graduate from a European Union member country, you can practice your profession anywhere in the world, not only in Turkey. This gives you the opportunity to build an international career.
Among the universities in Poland that have 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
To obtain YÖK equivalence after graduating from Polish universities, you can apply online through the YÖK website after preparing the required documents and paying the fee. The documents requested by YÖK are generally the diploma and transcript you received from Polish universities. However, additional documents may be requested for some universities or departments. Therefore, you should get precise information about the documents you need to prepare by speaking directly with YÖK or your education advisors.
Once your application is complete, YÖK begins a review process. This process usually takes a few months. However, depending on workload, it may be shorter or longer. Rejection is rarely the outcome of the evaluation, and the vast majority of applications receive YÖK equivalence.
