Starting this academic year, students from abroad can study in Poland on better terms. On August 22 came into force the Regulation of the Ministry of Science on taking up and participating in studies and training by foreigners, and their participation in research and development work.

The provisions coming into force were announced on Friday on the Ministry of Science and Higher Education website.

Until now, students coming to Polish from abroad had to pay college fees for the entire course of study in advance. In the case of undergraduate student had to pay for three years before he could begin studies in Poland. Less well-off people could not afford studying in our country.

Meanwhile, starting this academic year, an international student will pay separately for each semester, and not have to pay a large fee at once. In addition, the cost of study for foreigners at Polish public universities will fall - rectors will set tuition fees. Universities will compete with each other to attract even more foreign students in Poland with lower fees.

Currently more than 46 thousand foreigners study in our country. Over the last year, their number grew by 10 thousand.
