Is there a limit to the majors you can enrol in?

There is no such limit. You can apply for as many majors as you wish :)

How much is the recruitment fee?

An enrolment fee of PLN 85 is payable for each major/specialisation, regardless of the number of majors/specialisations chosen.

How can I pay the recruitment fee from abroad?

The most convenient method is to pay by credit card or via Google Pay / Apple Pay. To do so, log in to the Online Admissions System, click ‘Pay Enrolment’ and select one of the available online methods on the payment method selection screen.

If a card or e-wallet payment is not possible, you can alternatively use an international bank transfer. To do so, select ‘Traditional remittance’ from the “Other” category and then select ‘Deposits from abroad’ from the list of accounts. Use the account number provided (including the SWIFT) and the transfer title starting with “P24” together with the recipient details shown at the top of the page.

You can pay in any currency, but due to exchange fees and accounting time, we recommend payment in PLN or Euro.

Is the enrolment fee refundable at the end of the enrolment process if the applicant has not been admitted to the degree programme?

If the enrolment for a major/specialisation has been paid within the timeframe stated in the recruitment timetable, no refund of the fee can be claimed as the amount has been used to pay for the enrolment.

The enrolment fee paid by the applicant but not used to pay for the enrolment in the course/specialisation for the entire duration of the admission procedure is refundable.

A decision of refusal of admission to a degree programme does not constitute the basis for a refund of the enrolment fee.

What documents do I need to prepare for recruitment and where can I find them?

As a foreign applicant, you are required to prepare the following documents for the recruitment process:

• personal questionnaire with a photo
• A Polish secondary school leaving certificate or a foreign certificate certified with an apostille/legalised entitling to pursue higher education studies in the country where the document was issued;
• A document on the recognition of a foreign certificate as equivalent to a Polish secondary school leaving certificate. Applies primarily to diplomas issued by non-EU, EFTA and OECD countries.

For more detailed information on each of the documents required, please visit the dedicated “Required Documents” tab on our website.

How can I confirm my language proficiency and what can I do if I do not hold any language certificate?

Candidates can certify their language proficiency through:

• International Baccalaureate Diploma, or
• European Baccalaureate Diploma, or
• a certificate or other document confirming knowledge of English at the B2 level following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages skills, or
• a foreign document equivalent to a Polish upper secondary school leaving certificate, with English as the language of instruction, or
• a foreign document equivalent to a Polish high school diploma, with English as the language of instruction.

If you do not hold any of the above documents, do not worry :)  You can take our internal language test, organised by the AMU Recruitment Committee.

The exam takes the form of a test and is conducted online upon registration in the Online Admission System. You will need to score 100 points out of 150 (>66.6) to pass the test. You will have one hour to complete the exam.
To pass the test, you will have two attempts.

Do the documents always have to be translated into Polish?

Any document issued in a language other than Polish should be translated into Polish.

The translation must be done by a sworn translator registered on the list of translators by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Poland, a sworn translator from the EU (if there is a sworn translation institution in the country) or another translation into Polish certified by a consul of the Republic of Poland in the country where the document was issued. If it is not possible to translate the document into Polish and the language of study is English, an English translation is possible. The translation must be done by an English translator accredited by the Government of the country where the document was issued or by a sworn EU translator (if there is a sworn translation institution in the country).

However, documents issued originally in English do not require translations.

What is an apostille and how does it differ from legalisation?

Legalization is an attestation procedure to establish formal conformity of a document with the law of the issuing country or authenticity of signatures and seals affixed on the document.
Foreign education-related documents – secondary school leaving exams and university diplomas obtained abroad must have an apostille attached or be legalized.  Without proper attestation attached we will not accept such documents during admission.

Apostille is, in short, an attestation that the certificate/diploma you have is authentic, thanks to which it is possible to use it abroad. Apostille which is issued in the form of a seal on the document or a separate document you need to apply in the country issuing the document.
If the country that issued your document is a party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 which abolished the requirement of legalization of foreign official documents (Journal of Laws of 2005, no. 112, item 938), please check where you need to apply to obtain apostille.

Legalization - if the country that issued your document is not a party to the Hague Convention, then legalization is done by the Polish consulate in this country. You need to contact proper diplomatic institution and learn what the process involves.

What are the entrance examinations for and what form will they take?

For each study programme, the Online Admission System provides detailed admission rules - including information on whether there are entrance examinations for the course in question.

The admission committee will inform you of the form and time of the entrance examination in advance.
