Study in Krakow

Krakow (Kraków), małopolskie voivodeship — 12 universities offering 82 English-taught degree programmes for international students.

Krakow has 12 universities teaching 82 English-taught programmes (39 Bachelor's, 40 Master's and 3 long-cycle Master's). Published university rates run €1,798–€7,100 a year (one figure per university, not per programme).

7 of the 12 universities in Krakow publish a rate for their English-taught studies: €1,798–€7,100 a year (university-wide figures, not per-programme fees). 22 programmes carry a 0 in the register, which records a no-cost route named in the university's fee text — usually Polish-taught studies for EU citizens — rather than a free English-taught place. 16 programmes are at universities that publish no figure at all. The median of the 7 published university rates is €2,605 a year.

Tuition in this catalogue is recorded per university, not per programme: each university publishes one figure (or a list) for its English-taught studies and the catalogue stores the lowest of them, which every one of its programmes then inherits. A figure shown next to a programme can therefore be another programme's rate — a medical or dental degree in particular usually costs several times more. Always confirm the current fee for your programme on the university's own page before you apply.

Programme data comes from RADON/POL-on, the Polish Ministry of Science register; admission details come from our own research on each university's site. We publish no living-cost estimate for Krakow, because we hold no figures for it — for a current national breakdown see our cost of studying in Poland guide on degree.edu.pl, our sister site.
