Candidates

After selecting the field of study you are interested in at SANS, register in the IRK system for foreigners (click). IRK system opens in January 2025 for candidates wishing to start studies in October 2025/2026. The admission process for 2024/2025 is CLOSED. 

Create your account and fill in all the required information. Pay special attention to correctly fill in your personal and address information, in accordance with your identity document, but also other data. Make the enrollment fee to the designated account.

Then upload your photo (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm) and attach all the required documents:

• for Bachelor’s degree studies
  • high school graduation certificate (equivalent to the Polish high school diploma), which entitles you to apply for admission to undergraduate studies in the country of issuance of the document;
  • certificate of grades / transcript of grades with the applicable scale;
  • Apostille or full legalization of above mentioned documents;
  • translations into Polish of the above mentioned documents, made by a translator included in the list of sworn translators of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Poland or translations certified by a consul of the Republic of Poland serving in the country where the document was issued – this is applicable for the documents issued in the countries that need the recognition of high school diploma from (Pomeranian) Education Superintendent (Kuratorium Oświaty).  Translation into Polish can be done after arrival in Poland, but at the recruitment step we require a sworn translation at least into English (only if your documents are in a language other than English) – it is applicable only for the countries that don’t need the recognition of Education Superintendent (see the list there: https://www.kuratorium.gda.pl/uznawanie-wyksztalcenia-uzyskanego-za-granica-2/ ).
• for Master’s degree studies
  • diploma of bachelor’s degree, entitling to apply for admission to a master’s degree programme in the country where the degree was issued;
  • a copy of the grades (diploma supplement) with the applicable scale;
  • above mentioned documents must bear Apostille or full legalization;
  • translations into Polish of the above-mentioned documents, made by a translator included in the list of sworn translators of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Poland, or translations certified by a consul of the Republic of Poland serving in the country where the document was issued. Translation into Polish can be done after arrival in Poland, but at the recruitment stage we require a sworn translation at least into English (only if your documents are in a language other than English).
• Certificate confirming your Polish/English language skills (B2 European level) – depending on the language of the studies you have chosen. Don’t have such a document? Apply to us by e-mail and we will arrange for you a short online conversation with a teacher, who will determine your level of language proficiency.
• Visa or other document confirming legal residence in Poland (if you already have one).
• Confirmation of payment of the recruitment fee and tuition fee for the 1st year in advance.

       You do not yet have a certificate or a bachelor’s degree, because you are still a pupil/student? While waiting for the issuance of your diploma or high school diploma, you         can register in the system, but you will not be able to obtain a certificate authorizing you to apply for a visa (until you provide the required documents).

The document must bear an Apostille if issued in a country that is party to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 (Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents; Journal of Laws of 2005. No. 112, item 938). You can check the list of countries on the Hague Convention website. Select the appropriate country and find out where you can execute an Apostille.

The document must include full legalization if issued in a country that is not a party to the Hague Convention. Legalization is carried out by:

• the consul of the Republic of Poland, competent for the country on whose territory the document was issued, or
• educational authorities of the country on whose territory the document was issued, or
• accredited in the Republic of Poland or another EU/EFTA/OECD member state to a diplomatic representative or consular office of the country on whose territory the document was issued.

Print the system-generated documents (application form, agreement and student oath), sign them and attach them to the system.

Once your application is marked as „confirmed” in your recruitment account, you can move on!

Pay the fees (recruitment fee and tuition fee for the first year of studies) and receive the confirmation letter necessary to apply for a visa.
Remember! The recruitment fee (150 euro) is non-refundable, and tuition fees in case of visa refusal are refundable with a deduction of 100 euro for bank fees associated with the refund.
