Hi everyone.

I am from Bangladesh. I want to study bachelor in International Relations possibly at University of Lodz. Is there any chance that I could apply masters in a Us university after finishing my bachelor. Do they accept such polish bachelor degree?

Could you share me your thoughts?

Any suggestions will be very helpful for me.

Thanks anyway.

From what I have heard, with doing master after a bachelor in Poland the problem is that the master courses in Poland are shorter than in the US, and many American universities make problems to recognize them because of that. Doing American master after Polish master or American PhD after Polish master usually works, but American master after Polish bachelor is problematic.

The best would be to ask the American university you want to make master at, how they look at it, and on what conditions could you start their master after Polish bachelor.

These days people, who want to study anything/anywhere should first of all think why they really want to get that diploma... Univ level education became so common that only top 1% of "universities" make any impression on employers, on the other hand in vast majority of cases you won't even get to the interview phase without having a sort of degree... I think a good approach would be getting a degree the easiest possible way and invest saved time into either learning something actually useful or getting some work experience...

A "clown degree" + Chinese or Arabic would get you much farther than a "good" degree.

Yes, but the question was not whether and what you should study, the question was whether a Polish bachelor degree will be recognized by an American university...

When I was writing my post, it was merged with another, much more general topic... so apparently this topic was first merged with another one and then... un-merged....
