What is the secret of the attractiveness of studying in Poland

School graduates from the CIS are increasingly choosing higher education institutions in Eastern Europe. This is not surprising, because education received abroad opens up great opportunities. Diplomas from European universities are quoted all over the world, guaranteeing a place in prestigious companies and rapid career advancement. In addition, educational programs in Europe are more relevant and much more interesting than in the CIS.

Country Selection Criteria

Having decided to get an education abroad, young people have to decide not only on their future specialty, but also on where to get the knowledge necessary for this. Foreign students are accepted by many European educational institutions, but the universities of Poland are the most popular among the residents of the CIS. The reasons for choosing this particular country are as follows:

• proximity of the location;
• relatively low cost of education;
• the possibility of entering most specialties at a university without exams;
• cheaper than in Western Europe accommodation.

The advantage of studying in Poland is a certain similarity in cultural traditions. Having Slavic roots, the local population is quite friendly and open, so it will not be difficult for people from the CIS to make new acquaintances and join the student team.

There is no language barrier as such. Being part of the Slavic group, Polish has many words in common with Ukrainian and Belarusian, which allows students from these countries to quickly and easily learn a new language and communicate in it easily.

The specifics of studying in Poland

Accession to the European Union opened up great opportunities for both local youth and foreign students. Education in Polish universities today complies with the International Classification Standards (ISCED). It is based on a two-tier pan-European scheme with the assignment of bachelor's and master's degrees to graduates and with the recognition of diplomas without additional confirmation. After completing a bachelor's degree, you can get a job in your specialty, continuing your education in absentia.

All higher education institutions in Poland have a credit-hour education system (ECTS), which increases the mobility of students. Thanks to her, they can move from one university to another without losing credits.

The cost of studying here is comparable to payment in educational institutions of the CIS and varies in the range from 1000 to 3000 euros per year. It depends on the chosen university and the language in which teaching is conducted. Studying in Polish will cost a maximum of 2,000 euros, while the cost of attending classes where subjects are read in English is about 3,000 euros per year.

Additional bonuses

The advantages of studying in Polish universities include not only low prices and the European level of education, but also the opportunity to:

• get a job in any EU country;
• take part in one of the student exchange programs;
• travel around Europe in your free time;
• get a reprieve from the army (for guys).

In addition to the above aspects, there is one more - being an external border of the European Union, Poland borders on the CIS countries. Therefore, you can get to the place of study in a few hours, using the services of railway transport.
