Poland's leading classical comprehensive university

Shortlist a few and we'll compare them side by side and assess each one.

Jagiellonian University is the second-oldest university in Central and Eastern Europe, founded in 1364. Today it is Poland's leading research and teaching institution with over 30,000 students, approximately 4,000 faculty, and 16 faculties spanning the full spectrum of disciplines from the humanities to engineering. Six faculties have earned the prestigious A+ rating in scientific activity assessment, and four hold the status of Leading National Research Centre (KNOW).

The university is recognized for research excellence in physics, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, humanities, and medicine. Modern research centres—including the Jagiellonian Centre for Digital Humanities, Centre for Brain Research, and Centre for Artificial Intelligence—conduct work to international standards. Faculty and researchers publish approximately 9,000 scientific articles annually, with over one-third appearing in the leading journals of their respective fields.

Jagiellonian University actively welcomes international students to bachelor's and master's programmes taught in English. Foreign applicants participate in a language proficiency interview (minimum B2 required) to assess preparation for university-level study; interview results determine admission ranking. University dormitory accommodation costs approximately 640–870 zlotys per month for a shared room; according to the university, total living expenses are estimated at 9,000–12,500 USD per academic year (excluding tuition). A student visa is typically required for non-EU citizens, and recognition of secondary credentials through the Polish NAWA system may be required for applicants outside the EU, OECD, and EFTA; verify current requirements with the university's international student office before applying.

Need the language to apply?

Almost everywhere the language is checked before admission, not after. We prepare for the exams admissions offices actually ask for.

How we work

From application to admission

01

Profile review and strategy

We study your academic profile, goals and budget, assess your real chances, and shortlist universities and grants for your specific situation.

02

Document preparation

We help with translation, notarization, your motivation letter, CV and recommendations — tailored to each university's requirements.

03

Filing applications and university correspondence

We file your documents, track status, respond promptly to admissions offices, and keep every deadline under control.

04

Visa, move and your first weeks

We arrange your visa, insurance and medical exam, help with housing and transfer, and stay in touch after you arrive.

What admission to this university costs

Our published prices are for China, where the process is worked out to the detail and the price is fixed. Everywhere else the amount of work varies case by case, so we quote after we have understood your situation. Inventing a figure before that would not be honest.

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities — not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection — matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy, and preparing documents carefully. Any refund or re-application arrangement is governed only by the current service agreement and the circumstances of the case.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own — why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
