NOTE!

Applicants holding a foreign diploma pending final verification by the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA), as well as those who have not yet submitted their Master's diploma or a certificate confirming English language proficiency at B2 level, are placed on the ranking list with the notation “conditionally accepted – will be accepted after meeting formal requirements / supplementing formal deficiencies within the specified time limit.” Once the verification by NAWA is positive and/or the missing diploma or certificate is submitted, their status will be changed to “accepted.”

For applicants marked as "not accepted", the main reason for the decision is provided in the "comments" column.

The notation "off limits" means that the applicant scored too few points to be included among the accepted candidates – each discipline has limits on the total number of candidates and the number of foreign candidates. Such applicants are placed on the reserve list.

Other cases of rejection result from incomplete application documentation, a negative interview outcome, or an applicant's resignation.

Submission of applications for a place in the dormitory will be possible through a dedicated online form, available from 23 June to 9 July 2025. Once activated, the form will be posted in the News → [Candidates] Announcement on the assigning places in dormitories.

We also encourage you to visit the Dormitory No. 12 for PhD students tab, where you can find detailed information on the rules for applying for a place in the dormitory.
