About Studies in Poland

We're here to make your journey to studying in Poland easier, clearer, and less overwhelming. Because we've been where you are – and we know what you actually need to know.

Who We Are

Studies in Poland is a comprehensive guide created by people who understand what it's like to navigate the Polish education system as an international student. We're not a university marketing department or a government agency. We're a team of advisors, counselors, and former international students who've seen the system from the inside – and we're here to share what we've learned.

Our team combines over 15 years of combined experience helping international students succeed in Poland. We've helped hundreds of students navigate admissions, visas, accommodation, and the everyday challenges of student life. We've seen what works, what doesn't, and what the official guides don't tell you.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to provide honest, practical, and comprehensive information that helps international students make informed decisions about studying in Poland.

We believe that studying abroad shouldn't be a mystery. You shouldn't have to figure out everything through trial and error. You shouldn't have to rely on outdated information or marketing materials that don't tell the whole story. You deserve real, actionable guidance from people who've been there.

That's why we cover everything – from the big decisions (which university? which city? which major?) to the everyday details (how do I open a bank account? what apps do I need? how do I avoid common scams?). Because we know that both matter. The big picture helps you choose, but the small details help you succeed.

Our Approach

We write the guides we wish we'd had when we were starting out. That means:

  • Honest and realistic: We tell you what to expect, including the challenges. No sugar-coating, no false promises.
  • Practical and actionable: Every guide includes concrete steps, real examples, and things you can actually do.
  • Up-to-date: We regularly update our content to reflect current regulations, costs, and realities.
  • Student-focused: We write from your perspective, not from a university's marketing department or government agency.
  • Comprehensive: We cover both the big picture and the small details that make a difference.

Collaboration & Partnerships

We're always open to collaborating with universities, student organizations, and other institutions that share our mission of helping international students succeed in Poland.
