You mean Master's degree (magister) or Bacherlor's degree (licencjat)? You can join many schools, there are lots of them in Poland (especially part-time or evening classes).

If you have completed your current education in North America, you will be up to a big surprise. The education level is on much higher level. I remember back in 1991, when I first came to canada (I was in equivalent grade 10 in Poland then) I was put in grade 10. Quite frankly, I found the advancement level very poor and consequently I challenged all the grade 12 exams, and passed (except for english)...

Besides, you may need (I am not sure - don't know the system anymore. Can anyone currently living in Poland fill in the blanks??) the Matura to get into any post secondary education, or equivalent (Grade 12??)

to get in he had to sit a test though, said it was easy can anyone tell about it? if they know of course.

i mean Bachelor degree, BBA ( Bachelor of Business Administrative). Normally the course is open only who completed 12 years of study , i.e from 1 - 12 but in my case i dropped out from class 11 and 12 , now i am too aged to sit for 11 - 12 class. In many college there should be some consideration for mature student like me . My last option is to take GED ( General Educational Development) if i am denied for Bachelor level study.

If you have any information then help me.. to continue my study.. I am feeling regret now..

That's true. The only way for you to get into BBA programme is to finish high school first.

Are you considering learning in the medium of Polish or English? If you are contemplating on entering a private 'university' it should not be very difficult as they are more interested in the colour of your money. Get a few certificates, even buy them on line with official stamps it always impresses the Est Europeans-they are obsessed with certificates with official looking stamps. You will then certainly get a place.

I know for a fact that you can even buy an American Phd in Polish if you want one. I think it was for around $70. Not a bad buy, eh!

Like anywhere, there is good and bad education. The general schooling should be good, it is in France too for that matter. In the Soviet Union there were all sorts of universities for foreigners and these new arrivals spent four or five years studying for these so-called phd's that were in effect worthless. In England we have good universities too such as London, Cambridge and Oxford but almost every college is now a university-I do not know what to trust myself anymore. I think that education and university was very prestigious but I am sure that it does not mean quite the same amount as it once did either in the West or in Poland for that matter.

the education system here in poland is very good compared to most the countries ive visited. its more to do with a cultural pride in having an education. unlike the majority of british 16 year old chavs who think uni is a bit of a toffs way to go. god when a government pays school-kids to stay on at school it really shows what the attitudes of the students are towards education.
