Methodology & source

All counts and tuition figures are computed directly from the catalogue behind apply.edu.pl, which is built from RADON/POL-on, the official public register of Polish higher education maintained by the Ministry of Science, and enriched with per-programme tuition research from official university pricing pages. Only active, fully English-taught degree programmes are counted. Tuition medians cover the 65% of programmes with a published EUR fee — universities that publish fees only per faculty or on request are excluded from the maths, never guessed. Figures refresh with the weekly data update; this page was generated on 31 August 2026.
