Study IN tHe Heart of europe


poland is one of the largest countries in europe, a modern and dynamic member of the european union, where education really matters.

it is situated in the middle of the european continent, at the crossroads between West and east.

Poland is an ideal place not only for studying, but also for travelling.

a journey across Poland is a great opportunity to visit historical points of interest, such as monuments and sites listed on the UneSco World heritage list, see breath-taking landscapes of the mountains, sea, lakes and woods, as well as experience Polish cuisine and hospitality. compared to other eU countries, the cost of living is a fraction of what a foreign student would have to spend in most of other european countries.


upper Silesia in brief

the upper Silesia region lies in the basin of two rivers: the Vistula and the odra, in the southern part of poland. It borders with the Slovak and the Czech republics in the south. It has the highest population density in the country with almost 5 million inhabitants.

The Upper Silesia is full of positive energy, drawing on ethnic, cultural and tourist diversity. owing to the dynamic development of the industry and the application of the latest technology advancements, the Upper Silesia region became known throughout europe in the 18th century. Thanks to the industrial development there are a lot of very interesting places to visit here. Many of them are included in the industrial Monuments route.
