A student who does not possess an appropriate English language certificate (or Spanish, alternatively) can take an online TOEIC exam at our University at a reduced price of 120 PLN. We request students to indicate their willingness to participate in such a test when applying. The exam will be on October 18.

  • Confirmation of the actual duration of the mobility (if the list of credits does not contain exact dates) – the original or a scan printout.

Additionally:

  • fill out the questionnaire of the National Agency; you will receive a link to the questionnaire sent automatically after completing your stay at a partner university;

How to receive funding?

Apply for the participation in the program. Students qualified for the Erasmus + program receive co-financing for the mobility according to rates set out by the European Union (see the appendix).

Vistula Group of Universities Fact Sheet

Vistula University does not offer campus lodgings, but our International Office will assist all international and exchange students in finding proper accommodation.

It is possible to rent a studio or a room in a shared student flat or a room in a house/flat occupied by its owners.

Our university recommends students to take the first option, as in the second one student should be ready to conform to the landlords’ conditions. Before signing the contract it is advisable to ask about the all details concerning your life in the house.

Living in a student flat is likely to be less complicated. Depending on a situation – there could be single, double or even multi-bedded rooms. Before taking the decision you should always see your future flat. Do not rent a flat without checking it first.

The sooner you start looking for your accommodation, the better. You can use the internet, local papers or you can find information on “the announcement boards” situated at Vistula University.

The cost of accommodation for one person ranges from 150 to 500 Euro per month (depending on the quantity of places in the room/ apartment).

Please, contact the Vistula University Erasmus Office for detailed information regarding accommodation.

As a student, you should ensure that you have insurance which covers your entire stay in Poland.
