Poland Tightens Requirements for International Students

Published: 03.11.2025

In 2025, Poland strengthened verification of international students’ prior education and language proficiency. The measures include a B2 language requirement, university reporting of non-attendance, and a 50% cap on international students.

According to sources, admission to a Polish university now involves not only enrollment but also verification of language proficiency and actual participation in studies. This may increase the documentation burden and reduce access to some programs for applicants who do not meet the requirements or compete for places within the foreign-student cap. The change primarily affects students planning to relocate through education and universities hosting large numbers of international students. Anyone considering study-based migration should pay attention to the language certificate, prior-education requirements, and attendance rules.
