Studying (Computer Science) in Poland

I graduated from Cracow University of Technology, but would recommend Warsaw University of Technology - the best computer science university in the country.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I am just finishing my undergraduate studies at the Warsaw Univ. of T. I was studying Electrical and Computer Engineering (in English), but it is generally the same as the Computer Science (of course advanced subjects are different).

I recommend WUT, as the most prestigious Polish technical university. This diploma really means something :) The English-language studies are open to foreigners and Polish nationals, generally relation is 1:2, but of course all the courses are taught in English. There are students from all of the world: some from Arab and African countries, but also from Asia (i.e. Malaysia), we had even one guy from USA. Every semester there are also attending different students from Socrates Erasmus programme (European Union). Polish students are generally friendly and they like to make friends with foreigners, so you will not feel isolated. Most of the students speak English good.

You may be interested in the level of education. English language studies have generally lower level than studies in Polish, but, on the other hand, this level is still quite high for foreign students. However, studies are relatively easy for the foreigners, as they can repeat subjects many times - as long, as they pay ;) Polish students observe some more strict rules. So, there are two strategies: you can go through the studies having "C"s from every subject, but - if you wish - you can study hard and make some scientific career, so it's up to you :)

I am not frequent visitor to this forum, so if you need some more advice, contacts, etc. send me an e-mail to krzysiek.r at suchar.net (but please add something like "Studying in Poland" or something to the subject line, so I will not miss the message if it goes to the spam bin)

Thanks very much krzysztof_temp. Good to hear from someone on the ground, your response is very very helpful. I may contact you if I need any more info but meanwhile if you remember anything more you want to share, it is welcomed. Thanks again.

You're welcome :) I decided to register here, so maybe I will write something more in the future :)

MIT or Stanford

Why study in Poland?
And why a Bachelors? I ask that because in my experience in Poland everyone (but everyone) seems to have a Magister (which I understand to be 'masters' level). Very hung up on titles they are ... and that includes the name by which one calls oneself ...
