NECESSARY DOCUMENTS

Attention: All the above-mentioned documents must either bear apostille or be legalized.

Diplomas confirming the completion of higher education abroad do not entitle the candidate to enter the studies if:

a) were not accredited higher education institutions on the date of issuing the diploma or implemented a study programme which did not have accreditation on the date of issuing the diploma or
b) do not operate within a higher education system of any country or
2. a higher education programme or its part was implemented against provisions of the country in which the education was provided.

The higher education diploma or other document confirming completion of higher education has to be cerified through apostille or legalization. If the document was issued by a Polish higher education institution, the legalization/apostille is not needed.

1. Apostille
If a country in which a given document was issued is a party to the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, concluded in the Hague, 5 October 1961, the document’s legalisation is replaced by an Apostille certificate attached to it. The list of countries – parties to the Convention and the institutions authorised to issue the Apostille is available here.

2. Legalisation
Legalisation is the certification of a document’s formal conformity with the law binding in the place of its issue or of the authenticity of the seals and signatures placed on the document. If a country in which a given document was issued is not a party to the Hague Convention, the document’s legalisation remains the responsibility of the Polish consular office in that country.

Why Students Should Write a Motivation Letter

A motivation letter is a crucial part of any university application, allowing students to present their personal goals, academic interests, and future ambitions in a structured manner. Through this letter, students can demonstrate their commitment, passion, and preparedness for the course they are applying for, giving admissions committees deeper insight into who they are beyond academic scores. It also gives students the opportunity to explain their specific reasons for choosing the university and program, which highlights their thoughtfulness in selecting their academic path.

Reason 1: Why You Choose This University

In the motivation letter, it is important for students to explain why they selected the specific university. For instance, they could highlight the university’s strong academic reputation, cutting-edge research opportunities, distinguished faculty members, or the facilities that align with their interests. This shows that the student has done their research and understands how the university’s offerings will help them achieve their academic and professional goals.

Reason 2: Why You Choose This Specialty

Students should also explain their choice of specialization or program of study. This section could describe how the student's academic background, personal interests, or career goals align with the chosen field. It allows the applicant to show passion for the subject and clarify how the specific program will help them gain the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue their desired career path.
