Hear from our students
"AGH is a serious engineering school, and Krakow is packed with tech companies — I did a working-student role at an R&D centre. Studying CS in English for €3,200 a year is incredible value. My counsellor handled the visa and TRP."
"Krakow is beautiful and cheap for students, and as a full-time student I could work without a separate permit. The engineering focus at AGH prepared me well, and the 9-month permit gives me time to find a job."
