Check the steps you need to take before applying to Krakow University of Technology. Does your diploma require NAWA recognition or is an apostille sufficient? Will you need to take the mathematics entrance exam? Find out below!
You can also use the NAWA Kwalifikator tool – an online database that lets you automatically check how your foreign higher education diploma is recognized in Poland. It helps you assess your qualification status and confirms the academic rights your diploma gives you under Polish law.
Diplomas issued abroad, in countries outside the EU/OECD/EFTA, must be recognized individually by the Director of NAWA. This recognition allows the holder of the document to pursue a degree in Poland. To have your documents recognized, use the NAWA SYRENA system. Please note that the recognition process takes around 60 days from application, but it may take longer due to a high volume of applications.
