If you want a master's degree in English in Poland, you will find many options, especially in bigger cities and in popular subjects like business, IT, engineering, and international relations. Tuition and entry rules vary by university and programme, so the safest way to plan is to check the university admissions page and the official Poland study portals.
How common are English-taught master's programmes?
English-taught master's study is widely available in Poland, but it is not equally common in every field or at every university. Public universities and private universities both offer them, and larger cities usually have more choice.
You will often see the most English-taught options in:
- Business and management
- Computer science and IT
- Engineering and technology
- Economics and finance
- International relations and political science
- Medicine and health-related fields, especially some specialised programmes
In smaller or more specialised subjects, the number of English programmes can be limited. Some universities offer only a few courses in English, while others have whole faculties with many choices.
What tuition usually looks like
Tuition in Poland depends on the university, the subject, and whether you are an EU/EEA student or a non-EU student. Public universities may charge lower fees for some students, but English-taught master's programmes are often fee-paying, especially for non-Polish speakers.
Typical ranges are broad. As a guide, many English-taught master's programmes can cost:
- Lower-cost programmes: about 2,000 to 4,000 EUR per year
- Mid-range programmes: about 4,000 to 7,000 EUR per year
- More expensive programmes, especially in medicine or top business schools: above that range
Some universities set different fees for EU/EEA and non-EU students. Others use one fee for all international students. Always check the programme page or admissions page for the exact amount, because universities can change fees from year to year.
What language level you usually need
For English-taught master's programmes, universities usually ask for proof of English. The exact test and score depend on the programme. Common proof includes IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge certificates, or a previous degree taught in English.
Typical requirements are often around:
- IELTS 6.0 to 6.5
- TOEFL iBT around 80 to 95
Some universities accept other documents instead of a test. For example, they may accept:
- A bachelor's degree completed in English
- A letter from your previous university confirming the language of instruction
- A school or university certificate accepted by that university
Do not assume the same rule applies everywhere. Check the programme page and the admissions office information for the exact language proof they accept.
How to search for the right programme
The best place to start is the university's own website. Look for the admissions page, the faculty page, or the list of programmes taught in English. Also check official Polish study portals if you want to compare many universities at once.
When you search, use these filters if they are available:
- Level: master's
- Language: English
- Field: your subject area
- City or region
- Tuition budget
Read each programme page carefully. Pay attention to:
- Entry degree needed
- English requirement
- Whether the programme is full-time or part-time
- Tuition and payment schedule
- Application method and deadlines
- Any extra documents, such as a CV, motivation letter, portfolio, or entrance exam
If you are comparing several universities, make a simple list with the programme name, fee, language rule, and deadline. That saves time and helps you avoid mistakes.
How universities usually contact applicants
Most universities in Poland expect you to apply through their admissions system, portal, or e-recruitment platform. Some programmes also accept direct email questions before you apply. If the university has an international office, that is often a good place to ask for basic guidance.
You can contact them when you are not sure about:
- Whether your degree is accepted
- Which English proof they accept
- How to legalise or translate documents
- Whether there is an application fee
- Whether the programme has extra entrance steps
Keep your first message short. Say your name, your current degree, the programme you want, and your main question. Attach documents only if the university asks for them.
What else to check before you apply
Besides tuition and language, there are a few practical things that matter a lot. These can affect your budget and your visa or residence planning.
- Living costs in the city
- Student housing availability
- Whether the programme starts in autumn or also in spring
- Internship or thesis rules
- Recognition of your previous degree
- Visa and residence steps if you are a non-EU student
For visa and residence questions, always use the official national immigration authority or the Polish consulate website in your country. Do not rely only on university social media or old blog posts.
Common questions
Is it easy to find a master's in English in Poland?
Yes, in many fields it is fairly easy, especially in larger universities and in subjects like business, IT, and engineering. In smaller subjects, options can be more limited.
Do EU students always pay less than non-EU students?
No. Some universities have different fees for EU and non-EU students, but not all do. Always check the exact programme page.
Can I apply if my bachelor's degree was not in English?
Usually yes, if you can provide accepted proof of English and your degree matches the entry requirements. The university decides what is acceptable.
