Required documents for graduate studies for international applicants

Below you will find a complete list of documents required from international students in the admission procedure for studies in English. Please note that you have to submit the original documents, as we do not accept any copies or scans.
  • Signed application form printed from the on-line registration system;
  • ID card or passport (for inspection only);
  • Academic degree diploma (or an equivalent document). In case of non-Polish and non-EU educational documents, you should also:
  1. legalise or apostille your diploma – read more about legalisation and apostille below;
  2. submit a translation into Polish or English of your diploma (and of its supplement or transcript of grades) 

Please note that:

  • if you do not receive your diploma before the end of the document submission period, you may submit your thesis defense confirmation (or your provisional diploma) instead, but you will be required to submit your final degree diploma as soon as you receive it. Keep in mind that you can’t apply for graduate studies at SGH before you complete your undergraduate education.
  • you should make sure that you have all required documents with you as incomplete sets will not be accepted;
  • you may submit the documents either personally or through a representative (with a power of attorney), but you should not send them by post or courier services.

     

Please note that you have to submit the original documents, as we do not accept any copies or scans.

Translations

All documents issued in a language other than Polish or English should be submitted along with their translation into Polish or English. If the translation is believed to be unreliable, UKR shall require a sworn or certified translation.

A sworn translation can be done by:

  • a sworn translator registered by the Polish Ministry of Justice;
  • a sworn translator registered in any EU/EFTA/OECD member state;
  • a consul of the Republic of Poland residing in the territory of the country where the document was issued.

If you encounter any difficulties regarding translation of your documents, please contact the Admissions Office.

Legalisation (or apostille)

If your degree diploma was issued by a non-Polish or non-EU/EFTA/OECD institution, you need to legalise it or endorse it with an apostille. Your diploma may be legalised by:

  • a consul of the Republic of Poland residing in the territory of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued;
  • education authorities of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued;
  • diplomatic representation or consular office of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued, accredited in any EU/EFTA/OECD member state.

If a country in which a given document was issued is a party to The Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, legalisation is replaced by an apostille. The list of countries which signed to The Hague Convention can be found on
