LIVING CONDITIONS IN POLAND
In Poland, it is not only 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 significantly 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.
Poland, which is extremely affordable compared with the majority of European countries, also offers very affordable and delicious options in terms of food and drink costs. One of the country’s most popular dishes, known for flavours close to the Turkish palate, is the Sanok dish. This kind of dish, prepared by combining beef with a special sauce, is preferred by many students, tourists and travellers. 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 any toppings you like added to baguette bread, is another of the snacks you can easily find in the country.
ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION
Accommodation – Arranging accommodation is very important when planning study abroad. Taking into account our students’ requests, preferences and sensitivities on this matter, 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
There are dormitory facilities on the university campus. In addition, students can 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 Kraków, the monthly cost of renting an apartment is higher and can reach up to 400 USD. In smaller student cities such as Gdańsk, Poznań or Wrocław, the cost is lower. A great way to meet new people and keep the cost of living in Poland to a minimum is to share an apartment with locals. In this way, you will only need to pay around 180-240 USD per month.
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The university offers scholarship opportunities. Some scholarship opportunities are provided 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. In other words, after you complete your education in Poland and receive your diploma, there is no obstacle to practising your profession in Türkiye with this diploma. Moreover, because you graduate from a European Union member country, you can practise your profession not only in Türkiye but anywhere in the world. This gives you the opportunity to build an international career.
Among the universities in Poland with YÖK equivalence, the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, University of Wrocław, University of Łódź and University of Poznań stand out. At these universities, you can obtain YÖK equivalence for all departments, including Medicine, Engineering, Law, Business, Computer Science and Economics.
How Are YÖK Equivalence Applications Made?
After graduating from Polish universities, once you have prepared the documents required to obtain YÖK equivalence and paid the fee, you can apply online through the YÖK website. 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 completed, YÖK begins a review process. This process generally takes a few months. However, depending on workload, it may take less or more time. Rejections are rarely given as a result of the evaluation, and the vast majority of applications receive YÖK equivalence.
