Paying

The semester fee can be paid in three parts (33%, 33% and 34%) or in full with a PLN 150 discount. The university does not publish a refund rule for a refused visa.

Our view

Worth a look for a low-cost master's in computer science, physics or biotechnology in Katowice, a city with a growing IT sector. For engineering, the much larger English offer of the Silesian University of Technology in nearby Gliwice is usually the better fit.
