Who can apply?

Studies can be undertaken by people who hold:

• a diploma of higher education (at least Licencjat or equivalent, e.g. bachelor) awarded in English philology.

A diploma obtained at a foreign university is equal to the documents issued in Poland as long as it confirms the candidate’s eligibility to undertake the second-cycle programmes of study.

Qualified candidates must have graduated from the declared study programme by the time of enrollment and must have at least a certificate of graduation.

Additional requirements at the stage of enrollment

Note: At the enrollment stage, some candidates may be required to provide the following documents:

• certificate of proficiency in Polish at a minimum B2 level, in accordance with the list published by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW),
• and/or statement from the Director of NAWA confirming eligibility to undertake studies in Poland.

The need to meet additional requirements is strictly related to your individual situation – both your citizenship and the country where you obtained your education are important factors. On our website “Additional documents”, you can verify if you are required to deliver the indicated documents.
