You may need to take English language proficiency tests such as IELTS or TOEFL. But the good news is that these English tests are not mandatory. Instead, you can provide other evidence of English language proficiency such as a maturity certificate in English, a high school diploma or a higher education diploma if English is the medium of instruction, or an English exam with a minimum B2 level from a recognized university. You may also need to submit GMAT or GRE scorecards for some postgraduate courses and universities.

The costs vary depending on the type of university, program, and city you choose to live in. The annual tuition fees for most undergraduate courses in public universities range from PLN 1500 to PLN 6000, and the same in private universities will be PLN 7000 to PLN 20,000. Additionally, the living expenses, including rent, food, transport, and so on, can range from PLN 2000 to PLN 3000. In cities like Warsaw, you’ll have to pay rent that’s almost double compared to less developed cities.

There's no such fixed minimum GPA for all universities, but a general expectation for a Bachelor's is a GPA above 3.0 on a scale of 4.0, and for a Master’s, it is above 2. If the university is prestigious or the program is highly ranked, you'll need a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Universities also consider factors like standardised test scores, recommendation letters, and extracurricular activities.
