Do I need IELTS to study in Poland?

Question

Is IELTS a mandatory requirement for all Polish universities?

Auranik Consulting & Management · Accepted Answer

## Short answer
Not as a single universal government requirement -- the official Study in Poland student-visa guidance does not mandate IELTS. Whether you need it depends entirely on the specific university and program you're applying to.

## What this depends on
English-taught programs commonly require SOME proof of English proficiency, but the accepted form varies -- IELTS, TOEFL, Duolingo English Test, a university's own placement test, or in some cases proof of prior education conducted in English, are all used by different institutions.

## Important exception
Never assume one university's language policy applies to another. Check the specific program's admissions page directly.

## Official source
Study.gov.pl, directly verified (confirms no IELTS mandate is stated on the official student-visa requirements page).
