- 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 translation drafted by a person entered by the Ministry of Justice in the list of sworn translators or by an accredited in the Republic of Poland diplomatic representation or consular office of the state in which or within the education system of which the certificate was issued – for candidates with a foreign baccalaureate certificate.
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.
Regular translations can be certified by one of the above bodies. Translations certified by a notary are not recognised. 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/OECD/EFTA 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 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
