Study / Canadian Pol wants to study in Warsaw Poland [9]

Thanks for the info, I actually talked to one of the universities and they said I need nostrification. Not sure what, how to proceed so I am waiting for an answer. Out of the schools that offer maturalne courses which ones are regarded as legit around universities in Poland?

Study / Canadian Pol wants to study in Warsaw Poland [9]

they won't apply such criteria to you, they'll just take the mathematics score from your final year

That's the thing I didn't take math in my last year. We had a choice in high school to either take it in grade 10 and grade 11 and skip the grade 12 if you did not need it, so I skipped it. I graduated with some other courses like science and biology. I basically took the minimum required math courses needed to graduate.

To Harry:

Can you tell me which school in Warsaw I should research that would allow me to take that one year to get the required prerequisites?? I don't need weekend school, but can possibly go full time as I have tons of free time, just have no idea where and what are those kind of schools called here?

Also below is a copy of the requirements from one of the schools I want to go:

Kandydat powinien:
- mieć zdaną maturę z matematyki lub informatyki lub fizyki z astronomią na poziomie rozszerzonym na co najmniej 30% (lub na ocenę min. 4 w przypadku "starej matury") albo być laureatem olimpiady z któregoś z w/w przedmiotów;

- posiadać wystarczającą znajomość języka angielskiego potwierdzoną przez świadectwo maturalne.
Przyjęcia odbywają się do wyczerpania miejsc.

Study / Canadian Pol wants to study in Warsaw Poland [9]

I am a Polish / Canadian citizen, 28 years old and have been in Poland for the past 4 months and love it here. Thinking of moving here from Canada and possibly attending a university for computer science (informatyka). The problem is that I have all my education in Canada, from kindergarten to the completion of high school. I did one year of college but dropped out and joined the army. I loved it in the army but due to injuries I was forced to leave. Unfortunately I never did matura in Poland. My problem is that in Canada I didn't take any advanced mathematics courses in high school because my goals after high school were to take computer animation in college and thought I would never need them.

Once I decided on going back to school a couple months ago my plan was to take some high school courses and exams in Canada and then fulfill the requirements for the computer science course in a Canadian university. Now that I'm in Warsaw, Poland I contacted the schools I want to attend here in Warsaw but they always mention one of the main requirements as "Matura matematyczna". I hope someone can help me and tell me how I can proceed, is there a school I can take here to get the extra "credits" or specifically "Matematyczna matura"? Is there any courses, or one on one education or possibly some other way I could achieve my goal and a way to fulfill the required prerequisites? Hope someone can help. Thanks
