In Poland, the evaluation system is different. It turns out that our student who has a 9.10 grade point average, are automatically available in the first list. If the act is fairly easy, it is difficult to study in Poland. There are no exams and for the Poles. But the problem for Ukrainian students may be discussed. When universities require a level B1, then some sufficient linguistic certificate and some interviews on Skype. So you need to really know the language.

Now a large number of private universities have lowered the cost of training for Ukrainian students. For example, instead of 2,000 euros a year, the student will be paying 1,200-1,500 euros. This was a decision concerning the Ukrainian rectors. Generally, the prices of education on the contract range from 800 to 4,000 euros a year. Although you can search and expensive universities. They mainly towards medicine.

In the month of meals students pay about 100-150 euros. So students need to 300-450 euros per month (without fees) – this is accommodation, food and travel. Some pay even less.
