What are your chances?

The University of Szczecin is a public academic university in Szczecin, northwestern Poland. Created by national legislation in 1984, it operates as an independent institution with legal personality and offers first-cycle, second-cycle, long-cycle master's, and doctoral education. Its academic scope spans economics and management, humanities, law, social sciences, health and physical education, theology, and the mathematical and natural sciences. Most regular degree options are taught in Polish, although the university also maintains selected English-taught programs and an English-language doctoral pathway. Students should therefore confirm the teaching language for the particular program rather than treating the institution as uniformly English-medium. The university is distributed across several sites in Szczecin and provides student residences, exchange opportunities, student organizations, and career support. For 2026/2027 applicants, program-specific admission criteria and fees are governed by current university resolutions and orders rather than a single institution-wide threshold.

Student Life & Environment

Student life is distributed across Szczecin rather than centered on a single residential campus. The university's current public-information pages list four student residences: Bakałarz, Belferek, Kordecki, and Portowiec. The university reported a combined 1,582 places across those residences in its page updated in March 2026. A place should not be treated as automatic: accommodation is allocated through a separate process, and the university issued dedicated rules and a housing committee for 2026/2027. The elected Student Government represents students in university bodies and also organizes academic and social activities. University information describes research clubs and other groups spanning academic, theatrical, musical, choral, and sporting interests. Because organization counts can change, applicants should consult the current student portal for the active roster rather than rely on an older published total. International and mobile students can access Erasmus and bilateral-exchange structures. The university's incoming-student system lists opportunities across the Doctoral School and faculties and includes 2026/2027 academic terms. Practical support is consequently spread among faculty offices, the international-relations structure, student services, and residence administration. Students should identify the office responsible for their status, especially when combining degree admission, immigration documentation, accommodation, or exchange arrangements.

Location & Surroundings

The university is based in Szczecin, the capital of Poland's West Pomeranian region. Its rectorate is at al. Papieża Jana Pawła II 22a, while faculties, student services, and residences occupy multiple addresses around the city. Applicants should check the location of their faculty and likely accommodation when estimating everyday travel; “University of Szczecin” does not denote one compact campus. Szczecin is an Oder River port city near the German border, giving students access to a cross-border regional setting as well as Poland's Baltic coast. The city's academic portal describes a community that includes international students from European exchange programs and countries farther afield. Municipal public transport uses buses and trams, and the official visitor portal describes integrated travel products for using the network. This location can suit students interested in border, Baltic, maritime, environmental, European, or regional themes, but the practical experience depends heavily on program address and language. Prospective students should map the teaching site, residence options, railway station, and essential services before choosing housing, rather than assuming that all university buildings are within walking distance.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Costs vary by citizenship or legal status, program, study mode, and housing choice. The database supplies no verified tuition amount, and the university issues fee orders for specific academic years and categories. Applicants should therefore obtain the 2026/2027 rate attached to their exact program. Older 2025/2026 tables should not be used as current prices. In Poland, tuition treatment can differ between qualifying full-time Polish-language students and students in fee-charging categories, including some international students, English-taught programs, or part-time study. Housing is also separately priced. The university issued a 2026/2027 residence-rate order in May 2026 and amended it in June 2026, with effect from 1 October 2026. Because the amendment controls the current position, students should consult the amended order for their residence and room type. They should also budget for food, local transport, health coverage, immigration formalities where applicable, study materials, and deposits or other housing charges. Residence capacity does not guarantee allocation. The Academic Career Office supports the transition to work through individual career guidance and, according to university candidate information, training, employer meetings, job fairs, and access to employment, internship, and placement offers. These services can help students explore opportunities, but the university publishes no verified institution-wide graduate salary or placement rate in the sources used here. Program curriculum, Polish-language ability, professional regulation, work authorization, internships, and individual experience are likely to matter substantially for career outcomes.
