The school education system was reformed in 2016/2017 to strengthen general education as the basis for further personal development of pupils and students, and to address evolving needs of today’s labour market. The reform is due to fully implemented in 2022/2023.
Compulsory full-time education covers one year of preschool education at age 6, then eight years at primary school (ages 7-15). This is then followed by part-time compulsory education or training for 15 to 18-year olds, either in a secondary school or a vocational school.
Higher Education System
Higher education is currently provided for by the Law on Higher Education of 27 July 2005. The higher education system comprises both public and non-public institutions. Before 1990, there were only state higher education institutions (with the exception of the Catholic University of Lublin). The Higher Education Act, introduced in 1990, enabled the creation of non-state higher education institutions. When the Schools of Higher Professional Education Act came into force in 1997, courses of higher professional education were created. Thus, at present, there are both university-type and non university-type (professional education) institutions in Poland. Graduates of first cycle courses are awarded the professional title of licencjat or inżynier (or equivalent) after 3-4 years' study. Graduates of a second cycle course are awarded the professional title of magister or equivalent after 1.5 to 2 years of studies. There are also magister-level studies which run as long-cycle programmes (jednolite studia magisterskie) of 4,5-6 years’ duration. Most higher education institutions come under the supervision of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Some, however, come under the control of other competent Ministries: Ministry of Health (medical higher education institutions) and Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (for academies of music, fine arts, theatre, and cinematography). There are also schools that are supervised by the Ministry of National Defence (military schools), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration (Main School of Fire Service, Higher School of Police) and the Ministry of Infrastructure (merchant navy academies).
The credential giving access to higher education is the maturity certificate. Admission to higher education is based on the results of the maturity examination. Higher education institutions may also organize entrance examinations, and check the knowledge and abilities which were not tested in the maturity examination.

Non-university level
Description:Non-university level education in Poland is currently provided by szkoły policealne (post-secondary schools) in a variety of vocational fields. The admission requirements to this type of schools are świadectwo ukończenia szkoły średniej (certificate of completion of secondary school i.e. lyceum , specialized lyceum or technical school) or maturity certificate. The graduates obtain the świadectwo ukończenia szkoły policealnej (certificate of completion of a post secondary school), and can then take a vocational examination and obtain the dyplom uzyskania kwalifikacji zawodowych (vocational qualifications diploma). The vocational training in this type of schools lasts between 1 and 2.5 years, depending on the field of study.
University level first stage : First cycle (licencjat, inzynier)
Description:First cycle programmes are provided by both university-type higher education institutions and institutions of higher professional education. Graduates are awarded the professional title of licencjat (after 3 years of study) or inżynier (after 3.5-4 years of study) following a thesis or a diploma project. As from 2009, graduates obtain a diploma of completion of the first cycle programme (dyplom ukończenia studiów pierwszego stopnia). They may proceed to study for a second cycle degree (magister or equivalent). The professional title of licencjat has been awarded as from 1992. Additionally, as from 2005, the title of licencjat położnictwa has been granted to graduates of higher professional studies in midwifery and the title of licencjat pielęgniarstwa to graduates in nursing. The graduates of first cycle programmes in architecture are awarded the title of inżynier architect and in landscape architecture, the magister inżynier krajobrazu. Military and police schools award their graduates the title of oficer dyplomowany, and the Main School of Fire Service grants them the title of inżynier pożarnictwa.
University level second stage : Second cycle (magister)
Description:Studies at this stage can be of two types: a second cycle of 1.5-2-year duration or a long-cycle course of 5-6 years. Both programmes are provided at university and non-university higher education institutions to holders of the professional titles of licencjat or inżynier or equivalent. The graduates are awarded the title of magister or one of its equivalents after submitting and defending a thesis or a diploma project (if envisaged in the curricula). As from 2009, the graduates of second-cycle programmes obtain the diploma of completion of second cycle studies (dyplom ukończenia studiów drugiego stopnia) and the graduates of long-cycle programmes obtain the diploma of completion of long-cycle magister studies (dyplom ukończenia jednolitych studiów magisterskich). The holders of the title of magister or its equivalent may continue their education at the postgraduate level.
University level third stage : Third cycle (doktorat)
Description:The academic degree of doktor can be obtained by graduates of third cycle (post-graduate) studies, which usually last for 3 to 4 years, or by persons who combine their professional work with academic research and the writing of a dissertation. All candidates must hold the professional title of magister or its equivalent. To be awarded the degree of doktor, the candidate must submit and successfully defend a doctoral dissertation that is assessed positively by two supervisors, and pass doctorate examinations. The degree of doktor can be conferred either by higher education institutions or by the research institutes entitled to award it. Since March 2003, the name of the qualification awarded as an equivalent to the degree of doktor in artistic disciplines is doktor sztuki.
University level fourth stage : Higher doctorate (habilitacja)
Description:The academic degree of doktor habilitowany is awarded to candidates who already hold the degree of doktor. It can be obtained either by academic staff of higher education institutions and research units, or by persons who combine their research work with other professional activities. To be awarded the academic degree of doktor habilitowany, the candidate must have made remarkable scientific or artistic achievements, submit a dissertation which contributes to the development of a given scientific discipline, receive a favorable assessment of his/her dissertation from three supervisors, pass an examination, and deliver a favorably assessed lecture. Since March 2003, the name of the qualification awarded in artistic disciplines as an equivalent to the degree of doktor habilitowany is doktor habilitowany sztuki. The holders of the doktor habilitowany degree are eligible for the academic post of professor at higher education institutions and can be awarded the academic title of professor conferred by the President of the Republic of Poland.
Academic teachers are recruited from among the holders of the doktor and doktor habilitowany degrees. The academic teachers of a lower grade can be graduates of higher education institutions, i.e. holders of the degree of magister or its equivalent who are preparing a doctorate.

Świadectwo dojrzałości
Minimum mark:30% in the grading system introduced in 2005 (grade 2 before)
Requirement for:all higher education institutions.
There is an entrance examination for some courses (according to the institution). Some institutions also have qualifying tests or qualifying interviews for access to some of their courses. Specific ability requirements are demanded for artistic studies, physical education and architecture, as well as for military and police schools.
Higher education institutions are autonomous in this matter. The number of students is decided by the senate of each institution.
Prize-winners of national competitions (olimpiada) in various secondary-school subjects are exempt from entrance examinations.
Admission Requirements:Candidates must hold a Secondary School-leaving Certificate entitling them to enter higher education in their country. It must be officially recognized as being equivalent to a Polish Maturity Certificate by Polish local educational authorities or on the basis of a bilateral agreement on recognition. There are no entrance examinations for foreign students. However, in the case of fields of study in which special abilities are required, applicants must prove they possess them.
Health:Candidates seeking to be admitted to higher studies should submit a health certificate enabling them to study in the selected discipline. Entry Regulations:Students must be in possession of a valid passport and a student visa or other document entitling them to stay in Poland. Polish diplomatic missions abroad offer information on studies in Poland (application forms) and assistance in applying. Application to Individual Institution:No Application to Central Body:YesRecognition of Studies
The State Accreditation Committee (Państwowa Komisja Akredytacyjna) is responsible for quality assurance, and the supervision of the foundation of new higher education institutions and branch campuses of the existing ones. Study programmes of higher education institutions must fulfil the requirements of the Central Council of Higher Education. The Minister of Science and Higher Education decides on the basis of the State Accreditation Committee’s statement.
According to the Law of Higher Education (2005), a foreign higher education institution may establish an institution with a seat in Poland upon the consent of the Minister responsible for higher education.
For Access to Non-University Post-Secondary Studies:All applicants must submit a secondary-school leaving certificate recognised as equivalent to the Polish maturity certificate or the Polish certificate of completion of education in a secondary school. Local educational authorities provide the recognition of foreign certificates from the countries with which Poland has not signed any bilateral/multilateral agreements on the mutual recognition of credentials. Credentials issued in the latter countries with which Poland has signed such agreements do not need to be submitted to any recognition procedure and will be accepted by the education institutions as equivalent to the Polish ones.
For Access to University Level Studies:All applicants must submit a secondary-school leaving certificate recognised as equivalent to the Polish maturity certificate, either on the basis of a bilateral/multilateral agreement on mutual recognition of school credentials, or if such an agreement does not exist, the certificate must be recognised by an appropriate local educational authority (kuratorium oświaty).
For Access to Advanced Studies/Research:All applicants must submit complete official academic documents together with their application form to the higher education institution or research institute. In case there is no bilateral agreement between Poland and the country in which the credentials were obtained, their studies must first be recognised as equivalent to a given type of studies in Poland. For access to second cycle studies, the applicants can be exempted from the recognition procedure. For access to doctoral studies, only the holders of credentials from EU/EEA can be exempted from the recognition procedure, provided that their credentials give them the right to access similar studies in their home countries.
For the Exercise of a Profession:In the case of graduates from countries with which Poland has signed bilateral agreements on mutual recognition of education, the applicants must present relevant documents to the appropriate Ministry, and in some cases (e.g. medical professions) fulfill the requirements of the professional body conferring the right to exercise the given profession. In the case of regulated professions, the qualifications of EU/EEA citizens are recognized under the EU directives. The graduates from other countries must have their credentials recognized at a higher education institution first, and then fulfill the requirements of professional bodies.

European Convention on the Academic Recognition of University Qualifications (1994)
European Convention on the Equivalence of Diplomas Leading to Admission to Universities (1994)

Lisbon Convention. Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications Concerning Higher Education in the European Region (in force since 1st May 2004) (1997)
The bodies responsible for the recognition of foreign credentials (higher education diplomas) are higher education institutions, and particularly the councils of faculties entitled to confer the academic degree of doktor. The recognition of foreign academic degrees can also be obtained in a higher education institution: these rights are given to a council of faculty entitled to award the academic degree of doktor habilitowany.
The above refers to cases of credentials obtained in the countries with which Poland has not signed bilateral agreements on recognition of education. When such an agreement exists, no formal recognition procedure is required, though the holder of a foreign credential issued in one of these countries can obtain a confirmation of the recognition of his/her qualifications in the appropriate ministry (depending on the fields of study): in artistic disciplines – Ministry of Culture and National Heritage; medical studies – Ministry of Health; merchant navy schools – Ministry of Infrastructure; military schools – Ministry of National Defence etc. Other graduates should apply to the Ministry of Education and Science via Polish ENIC/NARIC.
