The Information Processing Centre (OPI) has published the latest report “Foreigners at universities in Poland” on the RAD-on portal. This publication contains data for the academic year 2022/23. The majority of students are from Ukraine, with 48,150 currently enrolled.

“Polish universities are becoming more and more popular every year. The internationalisation rate of higher education in our country was 7.1 % in the academic year 2021/22 and 8.4 % in 2022/23, respectively. In absolute terms, between the two years, there was an increase in the number of foreigners by as many as around 16,000 people – to over 102,000 people in the academic year 2022/23”, says Dr Eng. Jarosław Protasiewicz, director of the OPI. 

Students from Ukraine (48,150), Belarus (12,011), Zimbabwe (3,598), Turkey (3,435) and India ( 2,744) are most represented at Polish universities.

The largest number of foreigners in the academic year 2022/23 was educated by a non-public university – the Vistula Academy of Finance and Business. Almost 6 000 foreign-born students took up studies there. This number accounted for more than half of all students at this university (56%).
