WHY POLAND IS GREAT FOR EDUCATION
There are four good reasons for any international student to study at a Polish University: safety, quality, costs and jobs
Safety: There are various ways a student might be unsafe, especially when s/he is thousands of miles or kilometers away from home. Some countries may have higher rates of certain kinds of crime which may present a danger to unsuspecting outsiders, while in some certain places there may be too many distractions for a healthy study environment. Poland is a country that scores very high on all counts of safety statistics and in terms of a healthy, clean and green environment in which to live as well. According to the Global Peace Index (2022), Poland is ranked number 25 out of 163 of the safest countries in the world (United States ranks at number 129, France – 65, United Kingdom – 34). Poland is a place where both locals and travelers feel safe. Parents can rest assured that their loved ones will be studying peacefully wherever they may be in Poland.
Quality: On average Poland is one of the best countries in the world in quality of education. This is one of the reasons lots of Polish people are able to find well-paid jobs in other European countries or places like USA, Canada or Australia. Poland’s educational institutions score high in international rankings. Polish children are the third best in Europe at maths and science, and fourth best at reading comprehension, according to the latest PISA (the Programme for International Student Assessment) international rankings (2018). Poland’s quality of education is steadily improving – there were 6 of its universities in the QS World Ranking of 2016 and 19 universities in 2022.
Costs: This is where Poland separates from the pack. There aren’t many destinations in the world where one can study in English and receive a good education at very affordable rates. Poland gives this opportunity to practically anyone. You don’t have to be rich or even a high achievement student to be accepted by a Polish university. Polish universities emphasize creating opportunities for students over academic rigour, so even with a relaxed attitude school work should be manageable.
An annual tuition fee in Poland starts with as little as 850 Euro (ca. 870 USD or 715 GBP). A typical student will pay an annual tuition in the range of 2,500-4,500 Euro (ca. 2,600-4,600 USD or 2,100-3,800 GBP). The living cost will also be in the same range. Thus, total tuition and living costs for a year will be in the range of 5,000-9,000 Euro depending largely on the student’s spending habits.
Jobs: Poland is the only country in Europe whose economy never stopped growing in the past two decades when many European countries actually got smaller in terms of economic growth. This means Poland has jobs for young people where others don’t. More important than that for international students is Polish government attitude towards them. In some countries local work force is favoured above and beyond an international one but Poland gives opportunities to international students to stay and work after receiving a degree if they wish to do so. But it also lets them work part-time during their studies to support themselves financially and gain professional experience.
When a student arrives Poland s/he needs no work permit to work part-time or even for a full-time job when school is finished. The simple fact of finishing a Polish university entitles them to sign an employment contract without a work permit. This is a huge advantage for anyone who would like to stay and work in the EU.

Country Ranking 2018 for International Students
Country Ranking 2018 for International Students
Studying abroad is a goal of many students: An adventure that educates well beyond what is taught in the classroom. But many are unsure which destinations are a good choice for them. In this year’s edition of the Study.EU Country Ranking, we look once more at 30 European countries and examine how attractive they are to international students.
Germany remains #1 before UK; France claims 3rd rank
The overall ranking consists of three separate pillars with differing weights: Education (45%), measuring the quality of education; Cost (30%), assessing what students should expect to pay for living and tuition; and Life & Career (25%), evaluating the quality of life and the chances of staying and working in the country after graduation. We explore each of these pillars in the following sections.
Germany keeps the top spot: Its unbeatable combination of world-class universities and a tuition-free public university system make the country the first choice for many students.
The UK comes in 2nd again. It takes the top spot for “Education”, and for “Life & Career” – but ranks 30th for “Cost” with high living expenses and prohibitively high tuition fees. The looming Brexit may have adverse effects on the country’s ranking in the coming years.
France moves up a rank, now 3rd before the Netherlands. Similar to Germany, France allures foreign students with a highly reputed, yet affordable higher education system.
Poland is the only new entrant into this year’s top 10. Already among last year’s most affordable countries, Polish universities have consistently increased the availability of English-taught study options. No wonder, then, that the number of foreign students in Poland has exploded from just 12,000 to over 65,000 in the past ten years.
Our analysis includes a total of 30 countries. We report the detailed scores for the top 15 overall and the top 10 in each category. Beyond that, many of the underlying metrics tend to become less meaningful, making distinct conclusions difficult.
Education: Top 10
Quality of education is the key factor in our ranking, making up 45% of the total score. To assess the quality of higher education in each of the 30 countries, we first look at their performance in the top 800 of three established global university rankings (QS, THE, and ARWU). Here, the United Kingdom outshines all other countries.
To alleviate an inherent research bias in these rankings, we separate indicators of teaching quality as reported by the QS and THE rankings, effectively re-weighting these ranking factors (primarily staff-to-student ratios and the results of academic reputation surveys). The top countries here are Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany.
As a third factor, we look at the number of English-taught Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in each country. Maximum points are given for 2,000 reported study programmes, only exceeded by the UK and Ireland; although the Netherlands comes close with around 1,600.
The separate factors are weighted as follows:
40% | Performance in university rankings |
40% | Indicators of teaching quality |
20% | Number of Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes taught in English |
Cost: Top 10
The affordability of a study option is a main consideration of most students, and very few are lucky enough to enjoy full scholarships. Therefore, cost is a highly relevant factor in our ranking, accounting for 30% of the total score. We take a combined look at the cost of living, including rent, and the average tuition fees.
Looking at the top 10 most affordable countries, the annual cost ranges from around 7,000 EUR in Poland to around 10,000 EUR in Latvia.
Not much has changed among the most affordable countries when compared to last year. Other than Poland, Germany is the only country of the overall top 10 to score high here – thanks to its virtually tuition-free public university system and moderate cost of living. France, another country with many free study options, and ranked 10th in 2017, barely missed the top 10 this year by a handful of euros.
The very last rank in this section is claimed by the United Kingdom: On average, students should expect costs of around 23,000 EUR per year. This amount is lower than in 2017: The British pound has shed some of its value in anticipation of the country leaving the European Union.
Our “Cost” assessment can only give rough guidance, as it works with averages on a national level, and there are significant outliers for individual cases. A year studying for an MBA in London will inevitably be much more expensive than, say, an Anthropology degree in Cardiff.
Life & Career: Top 10
Studying abroad offers a wealth of life experience beyond the classroom. Most students that go abroad for their degrees plan to return home after graduation. Others choose their destination with the hope of staying and working in that country after university.
Reflecting requirements of both those groups, the score for “Life & Career” accounts for 25% of the total. In this dimension, we estimate the quality of life with indicators relevant to all students, as well as metrics that help judge the job market’s permeability for foreign graduates.
In 2018, we now include a score for personal safety in the ranking. Students, especially from outside Europe, are increasingly concerned with the safety situation in their host countries. Working with data from the Social Progress Index, this metric includes, for example, a country’s homicide rate, other violent crimes and incidences of political terror. Students coming to Europe rarely have to worry: Almost all countries in the sample are very safe in comparison to other parts of the world.
The factors are weighted as follows:
20% | English proficiency among the population |
25% | UN World Happiness Index |
25% | Unemployment rate for the tertiary educated |
30% | Personal safety (new in 2018) |
The full ranking: All 30 countries

Work in Poland
There’s a shortage of skilled trade workers in Poland – and IT, sales, hospitality and healthcare are among the sectors welcoming graduates who have the right talents
These are the professions in which overseas workers have the greatest chances of finding employment, according to the ManpowerGroup Survey 2016.
So with 45% of employers struggling to fill skilled roles in certain industries, discover what you’ll need to know if you’re serious about working in Poland…
Jobs in Poland
While Poland has the largest economy in central Europe, its recent growth has suffered from a slowdown and the costly welfare system hasn’t helped. However, unemployment is falling and it’s now dropped below the European Union (EU) average.
There are plenty of jobs available for foreigners who are considering Poland as a work destination – in fact, it has become one of the largest BPO/SSCs (business process outsourcing/shared services centres) in Europe.
Although the majority of the country’s workforce is in the services sector, other main industries include chemicals, coal mining, food processing, iron and steel, glass, machine building, shipbuilding and textiles.
Graduate-level positions are available for people with highly sought-after language or IT skills in areas such as telecommunications, computer science and logistics. You may also find opportunities in banking and finance, education, management and tourism.
There are several multinationals based in Poland as well as major local companies, including:
- Agora SA
- Asseco Group
- FCA Group
- GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) Poland
- LOT Polish Airlines
- Nordea Group
- Orange Polska
- PKN Orlen
- PKO Bank Polski
- Poznan Volkswagen
- RBS Poland
- T-Mobile Polska
- Toyota Motor Poland.
For a helpful guide to the Polish labour market and multinational companies based in Poland, see the Careers In Poland Guidebook.
To learn about the business services sector in particular, read the Business Services Sector In Poland 2016 report, by the Association of Business Service Leaders (ABSL).
In addition to large businesses with a presence in Poland, the country is home to some successful start-ups – for example, LiveChat, Brand24, Estimote and Brainly.
How to get a job in Poland
Most workers apply for jobs from their home country, typically through a jobs portal, or find work through a multinational company with offices in Poland.
You can search the listings on the following job sites:
- Careerjet.pl
- Careers In Poland
- Infopraca.pl
- Interia
- Jobs.pl
- Jobs In Krakow
- Jobs In Warsaw
- Kariera w Finansach
- MonsterPolska
- Praca.pl
- Pracuj.pl
- Reed
As well as private recruitment agencies, those arriving from EU member states or the European Economic Area (EEA) can make use of the services provided by Polish district labour offices for help on getting a job.
In addition, numerous Polish newspapers contain comprehensive job vacancy sections, including:
The European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) is another place for jobseekers to find work in Poland.
Similar to the UK, if you wish to work for a particular organisation, you could send them a speculative application directly using a CV and cover letter. However, the majority of employers expect applications to be written in the Polish language, unless it’s stated that English is acceptable.
Should you be invited for an interview, if you’re from a non-EU country it’s important to check whether you’ll first need a visa from your local Polish embassy before booking your travel.
Summer jobs
During the busy summer season, you’ll be able to find casual work in hotels, restaurants and bars – as well as at large companies. Check the job sites above for vacancies with the latter, apply speculatively or, if you’re already in the country, enquire in person.
An alternative way of improving your employability in the eyes of prospective Polish employers is to spend some time volunteering.
The European Voluntary Service (EVS) is a programme funded by the European Commission, which gives 17-30-year-olds the opportunity to volunteer for between two weeks and 12 months in a number of countries, including Poland. This is a great way to gain experience and learn a new language.
Unpaid and full-time placements may involve a range of activities, with projects available in social care, environmental protection, cultural activities and youth work. Travel, accommodation, food and insurance are covered by a European grant for successful applicants, while you may also be eligible to receive ‘pocket money’.
Teaching jobs
Teaching English as a foreign language is one of the most accessible jobs for native English speakers living in Poland. You’ll need a good Bachelors degree and the right teaching qualifications to be considered for these programmes, which typically last for one year. For more information on teaching English in Poland, see TEFL.org.uk.
Internships
By securing an internship, you could give your CV a boost while gaining valuable work experience. It may also provide you with an advantage when applying for graduate jobs.
With a number of global businesses having a presence in Poland, you can take a look at their individual websites, or try the speculative approach and contact companies directly to enquire about training opportunities.
To search for current internship vacancies with Polish companies, visit Graduateland or Praktyki.edu.pl.
The Global Talent Programme provides 3 to 12-moth graduate internships in teaching and business in various Polish cities.
Polish visas
If you’re a citizen of the European Union (EU), you can move to Poland and begin your hunt for work immediately, without the need for a work permit. However, as you’ll likely be working for more than three months, you’ll need to obtain a temporary residence permit, which lasts for up to three years. This can be arranged at your nearest Voivodeship Office.
EU nationals may also be entitled to have certain types of health and social security coverage transferred to the country in which they go to seek work. For country-specific information, see the European Commission.
For the most up-to-date visa information relating to UK nationals, see the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London website.
In order to qualify for a work permit, non-EU workers will usually need an official employment offer from a Polish company, among other stipulations.
This visa information is still valid following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union and will be updated if changes happen.
Language requirements
As Polish is spoken by the vast majority of the population, proficiency is likely to be a pre-requisite for many jobs. However, English is spoken among some academic, business and professional communities, as well as the younger generation.
Polish language courses are held across the UK, while many good websites exist to help you learn a language or improve your skills. Pick up a few basic words and phrases at BBC Languages – Polish and Study In Poland.
How to explain your qualifications to employers
Poland is a member of the Bologna process and part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), so you should find that your UK qualifications are comparable to their Polish equivalent, and will therefore be fully recognised by employers. For further details on comparisons with Polish qualifications, see Go-Poland.
However, if it’s necessary to get your qualifications evaluated – for example, to work in a regulated profession in Poland – you can search the list of professions with specific requirements.
What it’s like to work in Poland
Polish workers are generally as satisfied with their working conditions and quality of life as the European average, although flexibility in working hours is below this benchmark. Annual leave typically stands at 20 days per year. While regular office hours are typically 8am-4pm, working past 5pm is sometimes expected.
The authoritarian corporate culture is beginning to give way to a more open dialogue between managers and their staff. While Poles are usually very open, friendly and tolerant, smart business dress is the norm and meetings can be formal, direct and professional.
In the office, be prepared to address people by their professional title and family name rather than their first name – and avoid shaking hands in a doorway, as locals might consider this to bring bad luck.
Not understanding the Polish language can be a barrier to communication, especially with the older generation, so aim to learn it before you arrive.
According to Numbeo.com, the cost of living in Poland is nearly 50% lower than in the UK, although wages are typically lower too.

Poland outperforms UK in education and health, report finds
Analysis suggests that Poland is the best country at turning economic growth into the wellbeing of its citizens

Poland is outperforming the UK when it comes to education as well as being the world leader in converting economic growth into the well-being of its citizens, according to a new report.
The Sustainable economic development assessment (Seda) by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) measures wellbeing across 149 countries.
Under the education dimension of Seda, Poland got a score of 90 (the best country gets 100 and the worst zero). This was higher than the western European average of 82 and Britain’s 74.
Poland reformed its schooling system in 2009 to introduce compulsory education between the ages of six and 18 as well as statutory entitlement to a year of pre-school.
Poland is ahead of the UK when it comes to teacher-to-pupil ratio and levels of tertiary enrolment. In both of those measures, the UK has been falling behind the average improvement for the rest of the world.
Although its overall well-being score at 71.6 was lower than Britain’s 81.1, Poland also slightly outperformed the UK on the health dimension of the Seda score.
Poland’s improvement in overall wellbeing between 2006 and 2013 was higher than any other country when adjusted for how much each economy grew during that period.
The only area where it stuttered was what the report describes as its “weak” infrastructure, with Poland’s recent performance in this measure lagging behind comparable economies.
Polish ministers were angered last year after UK prime minister David Cameron gave a speech judged to be negatively singling out Polish migrants to the UK.
Douglas Beal, a partner who leads BCG’s global economic development work in the firm’s Public Sector practice and is a co-author of the report, said: “Emigration from Poland continued until 2006-07 when the net outflow stopped. The timing of this goes hand in hand with the improvements in well-being that we have seen.”
Another co-author, senior BCG economics advisor Enrique Rueda-Sabater, said: “It is actually a pretty positive story. They [Poland] are not improving well-being by sending everyone to the UK. Domestic job growth and their performance on our employment dimension confirms that.”
Norway: the best place to be in the world?
Norway was judged to be the country where citizens have the best wellbeing in the world followed by Luxembourg and then Switzerland. Singapore was the only non-European country to make it into the top 10.
At the bottom of the rankings was the Central African Republic, with Chad, Haiti and the Democratic Republic of the Congo ranking just above.
BCG also gave a score based on how countries had improved well-being between 2006 and 2013 and at the top of that list were Rwanda and Ethiopia. This partially reflects big steps forward in health for countries in sub-Saharan Africa generally.
Other than health and education, the dimensions analysed by the report are: income, economic stability, employment, infrastructure, income equality, civil society, governance and environment. Across these dimensions, the analysis draws on nearly 50,000 different data points.
Beal explains the rationale behind Seda: “As the world finally emerges from the global recession, policy makers are focusing on how to sustain and accelerate their country’s growth rates. Leaders must now embark upon a new era and actively pursue well-being—not just GDP—as the primary goal.
“They can and should measure well-being, and hold themselves against it. As one of the new leaders in well-being revealed in this year’s report, Poland shows that you don’t necessarily need high GDP growth to improve the lives of citizens, and that countries that focus on well-being seem to succeed on more fronts.”
The report is being released before the conclusion of discussions in September to finalise what targets for economic and social outcomes by 2030 will succeed the Millennium Development Goals.
In his foreword to the report, Nobel prize-winning economist A. Michael Spence said: “To pursue wellbeing effectively, countries need to achieve economic growth that is both socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable. The importance of a decisive, broad-based effort in this regard cannot be overemphasised. It is very good and encouraging to see the kind of contribution that this report, developed by strategy experts focused on wellbeing, makes to that effort.”

Universities in Poland
In total, there are approximately 501 universities and collegiate-level institutions of higher education in Poland, including 131 government-funded and 326 privately owned universities, with almost 2 million enrolled students as of 2010.[1] According to the March 18, 2011 Act of the Polish Parliament, the universities are divided into categories based on their legal status and level of authorization.[2]
There are forty publicly funded and two private universities considered classical, granting doctoral degrees on top of bachelor’s and master’s degrees in at least ten fields of knowledge. The remaining universities are divided according to their educational profile usually reflected in their differing names. Academy is used for institutions which focus on fine arts, music and drama. The technical universities specialize in engineering and the physical sciences. (The name refers to the subjects taught; they are not technical schools.)
In total, there are 24 cities in Poland,[3] with between one and eight state-funded universities each.[4] Among the top are Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań, and Wrocław.[5] The Polish names of listed universities are given in brackets, followed by a standard abbreviation (if commonly used or if existent). Note that some of the institutions might choose to translate their own name as university in English, even if they do not officially have the Polish-language equivalent name of uniwersytet.
