Application
step by step

Step 1

If you are not a Polish national, you must apply as an International Student

On July 1, 2025, Poland introduced new regulations that apply to non-Polish nationals wishing to apply to universities in our country. You can find up-to-date information and a detailed guide to the new admissions process on SWPS University's official website

Step 2

Activate your account

To apply for admission, please use our online application form
The activation link will be sent to the email address you provided in the form.

Step 3

Fill out the form

Log in to your account, complete the information in the application form, and upload a scan of your high school diploma along with a photo for your ID, following the provided guidelines.

Step 4

Payment of the application fee

Pay the application fee of 150 PLN through the PayU platform while filling out the application form. Your application cannot be verified until the payment is confirmed.

Step 5

Prepare your portfolio

Attach your portfolio as a PDF file in the application form. Your portfolio should include a self-portrait, a creative CV, your sources of inspiration, and examples of your experiences, interests, and artwork. Use your portfolio to show us your work and demonstrate your potential as a designer.

Your portfolio can earn up to 40 points. You need at least 25 points to move on to the next stage of enrollment. We will let you know your result within 7 working days after you submit a complete application.

Step 6

Taking the exam

If you earn enough points for your portfolio, you will move on to the second stage of the admission process, which is a qualifying exam. This exam is an interview with the committee based on your portfolio and will be held on Google Meet. You will receive your exam results within five working days.

Please note that admissions are accepted until all available slots are filled. Passing the admission exam does not automatically guarantee a place in the program. We recommend completing all necessary formalities as soon as you receive your exam results.

Step 7

Medical tests

Applicants are obligated to undergo the necessary medical tests in a healthcare facility in the territory of the Republic of Poland based on an appropriate referral and submit the original documents. Please remember to schedule the appointment in advance. Candidates admitted to studies may not participate in workshops without a valid medical certificate.

Step 8

Signing the contract

In the enrollment system, a tuition agreement will appear in your account. If you are an adult candidate, you may sign it electronically on the application form. In the case of minor candidates, the signature of a legal guardian is required.

Step 9

Submitting documents

Submit all required documents to the Admissions Office in Warsaw, or send them by mail or courier. Be sure to include the required medical examination.

Step 10
