Graduation requirements in Poland
In order to graduate from a Polish higher education institution, students are generally required to:
- successfully complete all courses, examinations, practical training and internships required by their study programme;
- achieve the required learning outcomes and obtain the required number of ECTS credits;
- submit a diploma thesis or final project and receive a positive assessment, where required by the study programme;
- pass the diploma examination, where applicable.
The specific graduation requirements depend on the level and field of study, the study programme and the regulations of the higher education institution.
Diploma and Diploma Supplement
Upon graduation, students receive a higher education diploma confirming the completion of their studies and the professional title awarded, together with a Diploma Supplement.
The Diploma Supplement provides detailed information about the completed programme and qualification, including the level and field of study, programme content, academic results and information about the Polish higher education system. It helps higher education institutions, employers and other organisations understand and recognise qualifications obtained in Poland.
Students and graduates may also request foreign-language versions of certain diploma documents in accordance with the applicable regulations. In particular, an English-language version of the Diploma Supplement may be issued upon request.
