One of the most commonly asked questions by international students, especially from non-EU countries like India, is: “Do I need IELTS to study in Poland?”

The Short Answer: Not always.

When Is IELTS Required?

  • If your course is in English and the university requires proof of language proficiency

  • For certain competitive programs like medicine, business, or engineering

  • Some Polish universities may request IELTS scores (typically 6.0 or higher)

When IELTS May Not Be Required

  • If your previous education was in English, you can request a language waiver

  • Some universities conduct internal tests or interviews instead of IELTS

  • EU students often don’t need to provide IELTS

For Visa Purposes
Polish student visa rules are more relaxed than in other countries. The visa office focuses on your:

  • Letter of acceptance

  • Proof of funds

  • Accommodation

  • Intent to return after studies

IELTS is not a visa requirement but may be requested by your university.

Alternatives to IELTS

  • TOEFL or PTE

  • Cambridge English Exams

  • University-conducted language assessments

In Conclusion
Check your chosen university in Poland language requirements first. While many students do submit IELTS, it’s not always mandatory—Poland is flexible and accessible in this regard.
