In recent years, Poland has witnessed significant advancements in its higher education landscape, solidifying its reputation as a hub of academic excellence. In the academic year 2021/2022, almost 1,174,000 students studied at universities in Poland, including over 800,000 students at public universities.
Every year, more and more foreign students study in Poland. In the academic year 2021/2022 89,420 foreign students from 180 countries studied in Poland, which is 4,731 more than in the previous year (a 5.6% increase). International students now account for more than 7.3 percent of the total number of students in our country. 13 years ago, there were only 0.82 percent of them.
The proportion of women in STEM is above the EU average. Initiatives encouraging female high school students to study STEM are thriving in Poland, like Girls as Engineers! & Girls go Science! campaigns. At the forefront of this educational transformation is the Pomeranian voivodeship, where the largest university centres in northern Poland are located.
