2 February 2027
University of Warsaw - 2027/28 admissions may not begin before this dateDetails
A genuine 2027 date, and one of the few in Poland. Senate resolution 278 of 20 May 2026, which governs 2027/28 admissions, states: "Postępowanie rekrutacyjne rozpoczyna się nie wcześniej niż 2 lutego 2027 r. i trwa nie dłużej niż do dnia 30 września 2027 r." It is an outer bound on the whole university, not the opening of any particular round; the round dates come later, in a Rector's ordinance. Resolution 315 of 24 June 2026 amends only the foreign-qualification recognition clause, so these dates are unchanged.

IB results releasedDetails
Some Polish deadlines fall after this — Poznan Medical closes on 20 July. Where one closes earlier, ask the university how it takes IB results that arrive later.

30 September 2027
University of Warsaw - 2027/28 admissions must conclude by this dateDetails
The closing half of the same sentence in Senate resolution 278: admissions last "nie dłużej niż do dnia 30 września 2027 r." Like the 2 February opening bound, it is an outer limit on the whole university, not the closing date of any round. Resolution 315 of 24 June 2026 changes only the foreign-qualification recognition clause, not this date. The same day is the deadline for asking a recruitment committee to correct your result after a successful matura appeal.

What it is
More than twenty courses over six semesters treat international relations alongside law, economics, history and culture, finishing with a diploma seminar to prepare the thesis. Teaching comes from academics at Polish and international universities, with open lectures by visiting professors, 240 hours of foreign language courses, and semesters abroad through Erasmus+ and bilateral agreements with universities in Mexico, the USA, Brazil, India and South Korea. A double degree is offered with Kyungpook National University. Graduates aim for careers in international organisations, international business, public administration (especially the foreign service and ministries) and the non-governmental sector.
