Candidates who do not hold a diploma issued in an EU, OECD or EFTA country, an IB diploma, an EB diploma, a Polish Matura certificate, or a diploma covered by international agreements, including Ukraine and China, and who must provide a NAWA Recognition Statement:
are required to take the mathematics entrance examination.
Candiates required to take the entrance exam must ensure that the application fee reaches the University’s account by the separate deadline announced for such candidates.
If you are required to take the mathematics entrance examination, take the examination on the announced date.
