Our country: Poland

What and how can we tell you about Poland? Let’s start by saying that Poland lies in Central Europe, borders the Baltic Sea to the north, and is Europe’s ninth largest country. It has a population of over 38 million people, and the average age is 36. Poland is divided into 16 voivodeships (provinces), and its national currency is Złoty (PLN).

Our country is a member of NATO, the UN and the European Union (since 2004). Poland’s GDP makes it the EU’s sixth largest economy.

If you are planning to study in Poland, we should tell you about this country in a different way. Poland is a place where Slavic and Western cultures meet and permeate each other. It’s a country that enables you to spend hot summer afternoons relaxing at the seaside, and in winter you can let off some steam in snowy mountains. Poland combines typically eastern hospitality and openness with western modernity and trust in new technologies. The country, which borders the Baltic Sea to the north and the Tatra Mountains to the south, is home to approximately 2 million students. Young Poles are educated Europeans who know their value and are optimistic and ready to face new challenges.
