Are you unsure how to handle your expenses in Poland? Here's a list of figures to assist you!
Students planning to study in Poland should be aware that studying abroad can be costly. A successful budget plan, on the other hand, will help you better control you’re living expenses. When estimating the estimated cost of studying in Poland, make sure to factor in expenses such as accommodation, food, health care, and travel, as well as your tuition fee.
1. The primary expense is tuition.
The amount you spend on tuition fees is determined by the type of qualification you pursue and the university or school you attend. In Poland, there are several high-ranking universities and colleges with their fee structures. Furthermore, the fee is determined by where you study in Poland (different rules apply in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Lodz, and Wroclaw), as well as your academic standard.
Humanities, arts, and education courses are typically less costly, whereas medicine and engineering are more likely to be more expensive. Tuition fees are usually higher at the postgraduate level, and rates differ depending on the programme. MBA systems, including those in most other countries, are often the most costly.
Full-time studies (in Polish) at state Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are free for Polish students and foreigners who begin studies in Poland on terms available to Polish citizens. These involve EU/EEA residents and students with the Polish Charter (Karta pobytu). All other foreigners are expected to pay tuition fees, which are usually as follows:
