Until recently, Great Britain was the most chosen place for study abroad by the Poles. The country was famous for the university’s prestige, the potential to improve English, but also the fact that Polish students paid the same fees as the British and got scholarships that covered their tuition fees. With Brexit, the situation has changed, although famous universities, such as Oxford or Cambridge, still enjoy the interest of the Poles.

Now, most people want to study in Denmark, as the education system focuses on acquiring practical skills and participating in projects organized by international companies. Learning is more personalized and activities are carried out in small groups. Dutch universities tempt foreign students with a wide range of studies in English (more than 2,000 fields of study). They are divided into research universities and applied sciences, in which one-year training is carried out as part of the studies.
