I wanted to pursue an MS in Germany, but due to low score, I decided to do MS in Poland. Doing MS in Poland is not such a bad option; Poland has some outstanding universities, but choosing which university to study is also a challenging job. Having secured an admission for MS in Computer Science at Warsaw University, I feel it was a wise decision to go for higher studies in Poland.
My Introduction
Name Aparna Gupta.
SSLC: 75%
PUC: 65%
BE in CS: 65 %
Target Course & University: MS in Computer Science, Warsaw University, Poland
It all started on a Sunday evening when I was chatting with my friends in our balcony regarding our future and lives. We realized that we all were drifting apart, and my other two friends were planning to go for MS in Germany. I too dreamt of doing MS in Germany, but the only problem was my score. For getting admission in top German University, my grades were not enough. Though I would have pursued some course in another new university in Germany, I didn’t want that. I wanted to do my MS in a reputed university, and so, I hunted for good universities in Germany which will accept my score but in vain.
I thought other countries also would have good universities where I can get the global exposure that I need through a master’s degree. Since I am from a middle class background, I had limited budget, so I left hope of doing master’s in US and Canada as education is expensive in these countries. I searched for an affordable country where I can do my Master’s, and I found that Poland seemed affordable. I came to know about MS in Poland service and requested them to help me out with my university applications for a master’s in Poland. They were just starting their service with Poland and took me as a test subject.There were some difficulties initially, but they all ended with a good note.
Reasons for doing MS in Poland were as follows:
- It is an EU nation; similarly, education will be as per EU standards.
- Cost of living is affordable, just like Sri Lanka and India.
- IELTS is not required.
- There are some outstanding universities such as Warsaw University of Technology, Wroclaw University of Technology, which provide international exposure to students.
- After finishing MS in Poland, I will find good job opportunities in other EU countries, as Degrees from EU universities are acknowledged in all EU member states.
Here starts my journey of MS In Poland
The first step was searching for good universities for the CS program ( Ms In Poland University list).
I got some outstanding Universities such as WUT, Wraclow, AGH, etc. Doing MS in Warsaw University of technology appeared reasonable since it is an exceptional university in Poland. I did not want to rely on only WUT, so applied for Wroclaw also.
I was not aware of university application process, so I searched for information online by myself.
Websites for referring to MS in Poland are:
- Information regarding Universities.
- Comprehensive application process.
- In the commencement, I got stuck with the Apostille process and had no idea about what it was. Also, it was Mandatory for all universities in Poland. It's was big pain back then, and even MS in Poland Team had little idea.
- Do not grab whatever you find as I did, and suggest you make a proper timeline and go as per the plan. Following the procedure, the application for MS in Poland will be smooth.
I then applied for the universities shortlisted for WUT. As soon as the portal opened, I started shortlisting and then all the other process sailed easily.
While my application process to MS in Poland for WUT, I faced an added problem, that was to transfer the money to Poland university, and I was in confusion on how and where to transfer. I then found out that it will take 2-3 days to transfer the money internationally since you cannot pay via PAYPAL. You have to deposit to the university bank account. I took the help of MS in Poland for transferring money as they have experience in this and got payment confirmation. I applied for both WUT and Wroclaw.
After waiting for a month, I got a confirmation mail from WUT about my admission. It was the happiest day of my life because I was able to achieve the target. I never asked any Consultancies but involved some websites about the detailed knowledge of MS in Poland.
Post Admission
Getting admitted is one thing, but the real magic began post-admission because there is this massive pile of things you need to do to get your VISA. It’s tough to find details but thanks to the Internet, that gave me some insights about what to do after getting admission.
The documents required for VISA:
- Health insurance
- Education Loan: I chose SBI loan.
- I booked a flight to Qatar as an offer of extra luggage of 23 kg was going on.
- After arranging all the documents, I scheduled the document verification through e-Konsulate. You have a high chance of getting planned if you try on Monday and Tuesday.
Everything went smoothly with interview after 10 Days I got the VISA confirmation from konsulate.
Websites that you can refer for VISA are:
- Visa procedure
- e- konsulate
- Interview questions
- Photo specification
- Poland embassy in Mumbai
Currently, I am at Warsaw University in Poland, studying Computer Science. I also went through a temporary residence registration. I am happy to pursue MS in Poland, though I wanted to do MS in Germany.

Aim – Wanted to do MS in Germany
It all started on a Sunday evening when we ( me and my favorite stupid friends) were talking in our balcony regarding our future where will we be?? how will our lives be?? then we found out that we all were moving in different direction we were drifting apart, my other two friends had planned for MS in Germany, it’s still a horror to me that I will be missing my childhood friends.
Then I thought about my life, it was a big question ??, and I was scared to answer it. I also wanted to do MS in Germany, the only problem I had, was my score(As you can see above) it wasn’t just enough for me to get into some top German University. I would have gotten some course in Some unknown university in Germany, I didn’t want that, I wanted to do my MS in some good University I searched and searched for better Universities in Germany which will accept my score but found none. It was so disappointing.
I though every country has its best college so by doing Masters there, it will give me the same exposure as some very good Universities in Germany. Since I am from a middle class my budget was limited so I left hope of Ms in US and MS in Canada in the beginning only, then I searched for affordable country where I can finish my Masters, I found that Poland was right there next to Germany and it was affordable. I know About MS in Germany group and requested them for help for Ms in Poland by that time they were just starting with Poland and took me as a test subject (it’s kind of scary, believing people with no prior experience in field), there were some problems initially , but all went fine.
By then there was no website MS in Poland but now there is.
My reasons for doing MS in Poland were
- It was a EU nation, and education will be of EU standards, and it is next to Germany.
- Cost of living was cheap just like India.
- IELTS is not required.
- There are some really good Universities such as Warsaw University of Technology, Wroclaw University of Technology, which will give me international exposure.
- Since Poland is EU country after finishing my degree I will find some job in some EU countries itself, Degrees from EU country universities are accepted in all EU nations.
