In late July 2026, Poland’s annual Perspektywy university ranking placed the University of Warsaw and Jagiellonian University jointly at the top, with Warsaw University of Technology third. The ranking also confirmed the Leon Koźmiński Academy as the leading private institution for the 27th year and highlighted top professional schools.

The following day, two Polish universities announced additional recruitment phases for the 2024 intake. The University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn opened extra admission rounds to fill vacancies and accommodate students awaiting exam results, while Politechnika Świętokrzyska in Kielce launched a similar “rescue” round, citing strong demand for technical and economic programmes. Both moves aim to meet heightened interest in higher education and expand access for candidates missed in initial selection rounds.
