Poland is becoming an increasingly attractive study destination for graduates of schools following the British education model, both in Poland and abroad. This creates opportunities for universities to attract students with a high level of English proficiency.
Cambridge International Education was represented by Kevin Ebenezer – Director, University Pathways and Progression; Michelle Cresswell – Deputy Regional Director, Europe; Simona Petrescu – Senior Recognition Manager, Continental Europe; Teresa Okrasińska – Senior Regional Manager, Northern Europe and Continental Europe; Dorota Lugowska – International Education Manager, Northern Europe; and Irenka Suto – Director of Secondary School Curriculum. Hanna Reczulska, Director of the Education Recognition Office at NAWA, along with staff members of the office, also participated in the meeting.
The following Polish universities took part in the meeting:
- AGH University of Science and Technology
- Kozminski University
- Medical University of
- Krakow University of Technology
- Warsaw University of Technology
- SGH Warsaw School of
- Jagiellonian University
- University of Gdańsk
During the meeting, Cambridge International Education presented its plans to introduce computer-based examinations in place of traditional paper-based exams. Participants were also shown how the A-level education cycle and examination system contribute to developing future skills and readiness for higher education.
An important topic of discussion was cooperation between Polish universities, Cambridge International Education, and schools operating within the British education model.
Of particular importance for universities is the timing of the release of A-level examination results received by graduates of these schools — the Statement of Results (August) and the final certificates (October/November). Admission procedures at most Polish universities are completed by mid-July. As a result of changes introduced into Polish legislation in 2025, passing A-level examinations no longer exempts applicants from the requirement to submit a language proficiency certificate at the B2 level.
