Study / How good is Politechnika Warszawska? [33]

Hi guys,

As you see my post time, I've spent my whole night in this forum with reading your comments, advices to students who want to come Poland for university education.

In last years, people prefer Poland for university education for these reasons:

- Living in Europe,
- Cheap university fees,
- Easier to admitted than UK, USA or any Western Europe universities...

But my reason is none of these things. I'm already university student who study Software Engineering. (completed 2 semesters)

I have Polish girlfriend for 2 years, this relationship seems really serious and I'm tired of all trips, all paper works for get visa, all costs for visa, flight, hotel etc..So, I decided to continue my education in there and I'm looking for some technical universities.

Before reading something in this forum, my list was like this:

- Politechnika Warszawska
- University of Information Technology and bla bla in Rzeszow,
- Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz,
- National Louis University in Nowy Sacz

But most of you guys say that private universities are terrible and just sell certificate...So, I have only Politechnika Warszawska option now.

How good is this university? Are they best or one of the best about Computer Science? What do you think, does it really worth study in this university, move Poland and change my life?

If you have some university suggestion for me, please write it. (Course language must be English.)

Thanks Monitor.

I read nearly your 100 posts yesterday, and you're one of the people that made me hopeless. :) So good that you wrote and I can ask you something...

You say that departments' English education isn't good as much as Polish. They make everything simple when the language is English and there is no education of high quality.

Well, why? My university isn't one of the best universities in Turkey but nearly all professors speak English good and can explain everything clearly. The university also has some foreign professors who can speak English good.

Polish universities don't have these professors? This is not medical or psychology, just computer science. It mustn't be too hard.

Well, AGH and Uniwersytet Warszawski don't have my department in English. I'm so late for Wroclaw but will try to talk with them. And I read lots of awful feedbacks about Polsko-Japońska.

Politechnika Warszawska looks like best option but prices...I pay 3000€ for my university by 10 installments while Warsaw wants 3300€ in one time. I don't have any rent cost here and also living costs are cheaper than Warsaw. If I decided to go Politechnika Warszawska, it will cost 2500-3000€ per year more than my city.

I'm totally lost. Yesterday, I was so sure that will study in Poland and today thinking give up. And this will kill my girlfriend.

I see your point now and you're totally right.

In Turkey, we have some kind of exams to deserve university education after high school. All students who failured in this exam go to Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia for university education. Obviously, universities make everything easier for them because they pay money. I'm totally agree with you.

Accommodation cost can be cheaper in Lodz but university price are more expensive than Warsaw and Wroclaw. The difference is 700-1000 € per year which is 2000-3000 Turkish Liras.

What do you think about probability of getting scholarship in Poland as a foreign student? I have scholarship in here which makes tuition fee %50 less. Something like this in Poland, would be most helpful thing.

By the way, that links that you wrote, becomes blank page when I click on it.

Things are getting harder and I should make best decision for myself. Stay or move, if move, choose best university, try to get scholarship etc...I don't have too much time and my brain will explode soon because of these things.

Thanks for everything, Monitor.

Yeah I can program, especially I'm good about creating algorithms and has knowledge about web site designing & programming. However, I don't know how to get a job as a student who is foreign and can't speak Polish...

Do universities help me about this? Can they redirect me somewhere that I can earn some money?

@Sparks11, you're right. For us, self-development is much more important than degree.

I see.

Is there anyone who has any opinion about these 3 universities:

kandydaci.wsiz.rzeszow.pl
wsb-nlu.edu.pl
kpsw.edu.pl

I would be very, very happy if you could send me some reviews, feedbacks. As you know, I don't know Polish so that I can't google about them. When I ask this from my girlfriend, she says only positive things because she wants me to come Poland whatever happens. So, I need some objective comments.

Thanks Monitor. I won't consider those 3 "Szkoła Wyższa" anymore.

What about Adam Mickiewicz University?

international.amu.edu.pl/study-offer-degree-programs/foreign-students-at-polish-universities/b.a.-degree-programs/b.sc.-in-computer-science

I know this university is one of the best and I know Poznan, stayed there. If I will pay 3000 € per year, Poznan definitely would be better than Warsaw.

I looked Lodz before. If I am not wrong, their admission deadline was 15th of July.

Same reason with Lodz, admission deadline. However, my girlfriend wrote e-mail to them and said me that they asked information about me, what is my situation, why Poland, something like this...

So, we're waiting for e-mail from them.

Let's put together:

1) Politechnika Wroclawska - Computer Science (BSc) - 3000 € (problem: admission deadline but still may have chance) - 7 semesters

2) Politechnika Warszawska - Computer Science (BSc) - 3300 € - 7 semesters

3) Adam Mickiewicz University - Computer Science (BSc) - 3200 € - 6 semesters
Problem: This B.A. programme is taught on demand provided that a group of at least 20 students is recruited.

4) Politechnika Bialostocka - Computer Science, 1st degree engineering studies - 7 semester
Unfortunately couldn't find any information about fees. pb.edu.pl/en/

What you wrote is University of Bialystok, what I wrote is Politechnika Bialystok :) Politechnika also looks good. What do you think? If its price is around 2000€, I may choose it.

Wroclaw didn't write anything yet.

Bialystok is not sure that they have courses in English. They will write us about this later.

And the most interesting one. My girlfriend talked on phone with some woman from Adam Mickiewicz University and she said to her that it's only for Erasmus students. But how???

It doesn't look like and I'll write e-mail to them.

I hope, Warsaw won't be my last and only option.

Yeah, I was looking for their courses.

ii.uwb.edu.pl/Syl/ENGsyl2013-14/I-stLevel.htm

It looked like to more mathematical than usual. For example "Mathematical Analysis 3", first time I see this. Anyway, I will ask my girlfriend to call them. Is this such a good university, what is your opinion?

And Monitor, what do you think about courses which I already took in here. For example, Calculus I, Calculus II, Introduction to Programming (with C programming language like most of universities), Discrete Math etc...

Will I have to take these courses again in Poland or they will accept my grades in Turkey?

Yeah yeah, of course we have ECTS points.

I don't know but I'm so positive about Politechnika Bialystok. I hope they will have English courses and price is around 2000 €.

And I really can't understand why there are very few universities whose course language is English. I think all computer scientists, programmers, engineers must know English if they want to refresh their knowledge 10-20 years later.

Yeah, problem is language with them, not deadline.

But dude, I'm not talking about only for foreign students. Polish students also should study in English, that's my opinion. In Turkey, studying in English language is harder (need more points for exam after high school) and everybody works for this.

Courses in university will never be enough. You know, technology is progressing day by day, there will be always something NEW. And until someone translate these new things to their main language, people can find resources only in English.

Polish students should tend to study in English more.
