Adaptation for International Students – Dedicated Events

Are you an international student starting your studies at Gdańsk Tech in October? Check out the events we have prepared for everyone beginning their student journey in Gdańsk.

At the beginning of each new academic year, the International Academic Cooperation Office at Gdańsk Tech invites newly admitted international students (in Polish and English) to participate in two important events: Registration Week and the Welcome Meeting. This year, new international students will also have the opportunity to take part in a free guided tour of Gdańsk and the inaugural parade marking the start of the academic year, which will include students from Gdańsk's universities.
