Cheaper does not mean worse: all of these are full Bachelor's degrees from Polish universities. The bigger differences are the city (Warsaw is the most expensive place to live, smaller cities such as Lublin, Rzeszów and Nowy Targ are cheaper), the subject, and whether the programme length is three or three and a half years, which changes the total cost of the degree.
Total cost of the degree, not just the yearly fee
Always multiply by the length of the programme. A €2,700 programme over three years costs €8,100 in tuition, while a €4,000 programme over three and a half years costs €14,000. Engineering, IT and architecture degrees are often 3.5 or 4 years long.
Other costs to plan for
- Application fee: the programmes on our list show an application fee of €50.
- Student visa: the Polish national (Type D) visa fee is $235 USD (~€200) and is not refunded if the visa is refused. See our Poland student visa guide.
- Health insurance: required for the visa, with at least €30,000 of cover.
- Living costs: most students budget about €500–€800 a month for accommodation, food and transport, depending on the city and lifestyle.

How to choose
- Start with the subject you want, then compare the universities that offer it.
- Compare the total tuition over the full programme, plus living costs in that city.
- Check the entry requirements: most programmes ask for a high school certificate (for example A-levels or an equivalent), a passport and proof of English.
- Apply early. Popular programmes and accommodation fill up, and the visa takes time.
