The International Students Office wishes to provide you with basic information about student life at the Jagiellonian University and life in Krakow already before your arrival.

You will find general information such as an explanation of technical university terms, the academic calendar and the grading system.

Practical information will include issues of visa and residence as well as of health and insurance.

Furthermore, as the International Students Office organises accomodation in students residences, you will find contact details and housing application forms in the accomodation section.

We also tried to estimate the cost of living in Krakow to give you an idea of what expenses to expect.

Additionally, you will find information on library and computing facilities available to students and associations and organisations which can be joined.

Finally, some useful links to learn more about the city of Krakow and Poland as a whole.
