IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Due to the planned implementation of the draft Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education on types of documents certifying proficiency in the language in which studies are conducted (the last draft of 9 July 2025), currently, we accept the medium of instruction in English letters from previous universities and diploma supplements with information that the previous education (Bachelor's degree studies) was in English only from applicants for Master's degree studies.
According to the latest draft of the above-mentioned Regulation, we cannot accept the medium of instruction letters issued by high schools from candidates applying for Bachelor's degree studies. We are sorry for inconvenience.
