Required documents for recruitment

Upload in e-Rekrutacja system a scan of your secondary school-leaving certificate.

Remember, that your secondary school-leaving certificate needs to entitle you to apply for admission to degree programmes at universities of any type in the country/education system in which the document was issued.

You can check the eligibility of your secondary school-leaving certificate at the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) website in KWALIFIKATOR system.

Check, if your secondary school-leaving certificate entitles you to apply for Bachelor studies in Poland.

If your grades are not included in the secondary school-leaving certificate, the school issues a so-called transcript of records (supplement with grades/grade record). Upload it in e-Rekrutacja system.

In some cases it may be necessary to upload additional documents to calculate your grades - more details in the section Recruitment rules – Bachelor.

If you have a Polish secondary school leaving certificate (“świadectwo dojrzałości”), European Baccalaureate Certificate or International Baccalaureate Diploma – you don’t have to upload legalization/apostille.

Check below, if you need legalization or apostille.

 

Your document needs to have an apostille, if it was issued in a country that is party to the Hague Convention. Check:
the country list at the Hague Convention

After clicking on the chosen country, you will find a list of institutions which issue apostille.

For information on the procedure, please contact the relevant institution directly.

 

Your document needs to be legalized in the embassy/consulate if it was issued in a country that is not a party to the Hague Convention - that is, in a country not included in the above list.

The legalization must be done by:

  1. a consul of Poland appointed for the state on whose territory or in whose educational system the document was issued, or
  2. a diplomatic representative office accredited in Poland or another Member State of EU/EFTA/OECD or a consular office of the state in which territory or in whose education system the document has been issued.

 

EXAMPLE:
A document issued in Mexico (in the Mexican educational system) can be legalized:

  • at the Polish embassy in Mexico or
  • at the Mexican embassy in Poland or
  • at the Mexican embassy in an EU/EFTA/OECD country

 

For information on the legalization procedure, contact directly the relevant embassy or consulate. Check:
list of Poland's missions abroad          list of diplomatic missions and consular posts in Poland

The University does not participate in the procedure of obtaining an apostille/legalization.  

Remember that the process of obtaining apostille/legalization may take time, so start the procedure early enough, taking into account the admission deadlines.  

In case of any doubts, please contact us.

Remember! Polish language exam is obligatory, in case you apply for studies held in Polish language.
