If you are a student planning to study in Poland with a foreign diploma from certain non-EU countries, you may need to complete a process called nostrification. This process ensures that your educational qualifications are recognized as equivalent to a Polish diploma. Without nostrification, students may face challenges enrolling in Polish universities or schools that require proof of equivalent academic achievement.

The nostrification process is typically required for students coming from specific countries outside the EU, and it involves submitting educational certificates to the Polish Education Authority (Kuratorium) for evaluation. This process verifies the authenticity and compatibility of foreign diplomas with Polish educational standards, making it essential for students who wish to continue their education in Poland.
