“Visiting Student” Programme

Visiting Student (sometimes called a Free Mover) is an international student who wishes to study at the University of Warsaw for one or two semesters on a payment basis. One teaching hour = 4 EUR (a course that lasts a whole semester is usually 30h which means that it costs 30h x 4EUR = 120 EUR).

In order to be eligible, you have to be enrolled at a Higher Education Institution outside of Poland. Then you will have to apply on our recruitment platform – a crucial condition! Only then we will be able to consider you a candidate. Apart from the documents needed from any other short-term student, we will require from you a motivational letter.

Visiting Students are required to register for UW courses worth at least 15 ECTS per semester.


Throught the academic year, the procedures for Visiting Students are almost the same as for regular exchange students. Please go to Incoming Students for more information!
