Study in Poland

Europe has a lot to offer from an academic point of view. It is a cradle of higher education, there are whole cities built and organised around prestigious universities, and finally, it offers huge cultural diversity.

Poland, being an intergral part of Europe for over a thousand years, offers a variety of eduactional options at different levels, available at most of its 450 HEIs (Higher Education institutions). Well-known and estabilished universities such as Jagiellonian University in Cracow or University of Warsaw, for many years have been providing excellent courses and classes for the students from abroad. 

In addition, many educational organizations from all around the World also provide interesting ways and programs to learn Polish and to discover Poland itself, as well as study its language, culture, or even traditions.

Democracy & Diversity Graduate Summer Institute

July 6-20, 2021 (this year online only) 

Conducted for three decades in Krakow, Cape Town, Wroclaw and Johannesburg, this year’s Institute will “take place” as a borderless, transregional online site providing a forum for forward-looking debate on unprecedented challenges that now threaten our lives wherever we live. The central theme of the Institute is Reinventing Our Future. The opening address will be delivered by the 2019 Nobel Prize Laureate in Literature, Olga Tokarczuk of Wroclaw.

This summer the DDI offers three intensive graduate seminars, which — along with distinguished guests’ talks, evening conversations, and micro-events — are designed to explore issues of social justice and the widespread dismantling of democracy and to illuminate the emergence of new social actors. Each interdisciplinary, comparative, and interactive course offers the equivalent of semester-length credits at the New School for Social Research. As with their regular on-site, in-person Institutes, even under this year’s exceptional circumstances they intend above all to create a community of civic-minded junior scholars that will be sustained well after the completion of the institute itself as part of a growing and thriving transregional network.
