@Ashok: Polish students have a hell of a time to find jobs and when they do, they earn peanuts and need to rely on their parents' money. You don't speak Polish, you don't have any special skills needed in Poland, so how can you be offered a job in Poland??? Furthermore, Poland is not a tolerant country so there is no way you would get a job over a Pole or someone from the EU.

In order to study in Poland, you need to prove the Polish consulate that you have serious plans and also that you have money. Do also consider that socalled pograms in English offered in Poland are worth nothing.

Why in the world Poland? If you see Poland as the entrance door to Western Europe, you'll be most disappointed since with Polish docs, you shall NOT be able to move and work elsewhere.

I suppose Polish consulates are not stupid when receiving applications in countries like Nepal, Pakistan and the like.. The only motivation is to get into EU since needless to say, they don't give a sh... about Poland. Let's be realistic instead of turning around the bushes

how possible to get part time work for student during study.

If you need a part-time job to finance your studies, forget about Poland. There are no jobs for foreign students in Poland. Study somewhere else.

You are as likely to get a part-time job here as you are to be kidnapped by a tribe of Amazons who think you are a reincarnation of their god and want you to impregnate every one of them.

Is there a full-time position open? I'd like to apply myself.

How come all those 3rd worlders expect to finance their studies in Poland through employment? Don't Polish consulates demand proof of their ability to finance one's studies when dealing with applications for visas? I would be suprised if they did not since all countries do and it is normal.

How do those applicants expect to pay for their studies with hypothetical work? This beats me...

A lot of them think that because Poland is in the EU, it's rich like Germany, Denmark or Sweden.

That and a combination of seizing any chance they have to find a better life and at the same time having very limited choices.

As I've said before, if someone thinks Poland is the best or only choice they have, then they have failed miserably at exploring the opportunities available to them. Yes, Poland may be better than a $hithole third world country, but there are practically always plenty of much better opportunities elsewhere.

If you live in a village in Nepal, your choices are limited to say the least. The airfare out is more than an affluent person's yearly income.

And Poland isn't a bad place to study at all.

I do disagree on that. There are plenty of much better opportunities. Or maybe I do agree that it's "not bad". Just far from the best, for a whole bunch of reasons: academic, practical and financial. Again, if a prospective student is convinced that Poland is the best or only place to study, they certainly have failed miserably at exploring the much better opportunities that exist elsewhere, including in their own home countries.

It isn't just about studying, it's about getting somewhere better, especially when your knowledge of the outside world is limited. That's the problem. Full marks for those who try, and yes, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Cuba etc would be better. Just not an option for many, and for others they just don't know where to start looking.

especially when your knowledge of the outside world is limited.

Which is exactly what I said, that they have failed to explore better opportunities, and are thus working on incomplete knowledge of all that is available to them.

I also get the feeling that you think that it is somehow easier to get into Poland than into the richer countries of the West. I don't think that's the case. If anything, I would think it is harder.

If indeed they have better opportunities. Remember that university courses in Poland which are conducted in English may not be the best, but they are cheap, under-subscribed therefore easy to get into and visas are given to students. It might not be the best opportunity for all, but for some it is appealing.

may not be the best

They aren't.

they are cheap

Perhaps not as cheap as they think once you factor in that there is practically zero chance of getting financial aid in the form of scholarships or fellowships, or of getting part-time work, especially something like TA or RA work.

under-subscribed therefore easy to get into

Judging by the sheer number of posts on this board, there seems to be considerable interest in these courses. I'm guessing that most programs in state-owned universities are turning people away. The private schools may be different, as their standards are so low they take anything that breaths or, at least twitches when you poke it with a stick, as long it it has the cash to pay.

Indeed - and there are a lot of private schools. The 'Higher School of Cosmetics and Security Guard Studies' is probably too ashamed to take foreign students (bet they have plenty of parties though) however some of the out of town private ones will take anyone and are cheap.

Places like UKSW in Warsaw (church owned but state run) do have special programmes for overseas students and they are thoroughly acceptable. Places like Collegium Civitas are also a decent alternative to their equivalent in the students' home countries.

Do remember, DominicB that not everyone has the grades (or nowadays the money) to get into a top flight university, and for many students the whole experience of going abroad to do one's teacher training or whatever is key to it.

And someone from Nepal, Bangladesh, Nigeria faces challenges that you and I never have.

And someone from Nepal, Bangladesh, Nigeria faces challenges that you and I never have.

None of that changes the advice I give, which is to explore better opportunities in richer countries or their own, or to take off a year or so, stay home, and beef up their academics so that they can get into a better university, possibly with a scholarship. Sorry, but I just don't see any point in boostering for studies in Poland except in rare cases. Perhaps you see it opening up doors to the disadvantaged, but in my experience, the time and money can be much better spent elsewhere. Perhaps you think that there are no opportunities elsewhere, but again, I strongly disagree.

An MBA from Poland is not worth much on the job market. MBAs in general are not worth much unless they are from very good programs in top schools and are backed up by abundant prior serious management experience.

You would be much better off spending the time to get a degree in a math-intensive field like financial engineering, financial mathematics, econometrics or actuarial sciences. Or an engineering degree in a highly paid, in-demand field like petroleum, geological or biomedical engineering. They are much more salable on the job market than MBAs.

Oh, and Poland is not the place to do this. Try the richer countries of Western Europe and the English speaking countries, especially the United States and the United Kingdom.

Is that possible to get job in poland??

It's hard for Polish people to find jobs in Poland, and many leave the country to find work. So there is little chance that you will be able to find work in Poland unless you are an experienced IT engineer. Otherwise, it is next to impossible to find work in Poland unless you speak fluent Polish and have very serious qualifications and experience. No employer is going to go through the trouble of getting work permission for you.

Also, foreign students in Poland rarely find jobs. Make your plans on the very safe assumption that you won't be able to earn a single penny during your stay in Poland. If you can't pay for yourself from your own savings or from your family, then Poland is not the right place for you to study.

Is work permit of poland given to nepal ? I mean the working visa for nepalese in poland are available or not ?

@Sujan; in order to be issued a work permit in Poland, you need to find a boss who'll have to prove to Polish authorities that they cannot hire among Poles and foreign residents in Poland. Be aware that a work permit in Poland is good only for one employer and one job and as result forget the idea about working in another EU country ;)

What are your skills that would make you better than Poles and foreign résidents in Poland?

And why Poland??? ;)

I hate to say this but if you don't have financial means then please don't go to Poland. Go to India, China or anywhere where the exchange rate is not low against Nepali currency. Not being mean also not that Polish people are not good people, but it is for your own good.

If you only care about the job experience, there are many internship offers. If you also want a decent pay, you're likely to be disappointed. But who knows... many companies prefer students to experienced employees. But you can earn enough to pay for your room.
