War may have upended the lives of countless Ukrainian students, but some of them – quite many, in fact – have found relative peace of mind in Poland, where a warm welcome at the universities has allowed them to push on with their work.
In the 2021-22 academic year, there were some 36,000 students from Ukraine in Polish universities and other higher education institutions, making up nearly 42% of all foreign students in Poland, by far the biggest group. On top of that number, there were an estimated 150 PhD students from Ukraine.
In the first few weeks after the war had broken out, Polish universities received close to 5,700 applications from Ukrainians looking to become students in Poland. Nearly 100 PhD students also applied.
