Travelling in Poland

  • A trip through Poland is a trip with lots of variety, past a lot of history and through special natural areas.
  • Cities to spot: Kraków, Warsaw and Wrocław (Poland's gem).

Studying in Poland

  • If your English is good enough, you can study at most universities and colleges in Poland.
  • Studies: from economics and medicine to art and music.
  • Characteristics: education is sometimes less organized compared to the Netherlands.

Internships in Poland

  • Internships: internships can be found mainly at the multinational companies operating in Poland.
  • Characteristics: Polish companies without speaking Polish themselves can be too much of a challenge.

Working in Poland

  • Jobs: temporary work can mainly be found in the sectors: ict, help desks, agriculture and tour management.
  • Characteristics: as a student from the Netherlands, you are allowed to work alongside your studies.

Doing voluntary work in Poland

Working as a digital nomad in Poland

  • Favorite cities: Gdansk, Krakow, Warsaw.
  • Characteristics: cool cities to spend your time and spend little.

Living in Poland

  • Language: learning Polish is not easy. The younger Poles already speak a reasonable amount of English. Among the older ones and outside the cities, you will have to make do with Polish or German.
  • Characteristics: Prepare for a rather conservative culture in which Catholic values and norms play a role. In the cities where the expats are located and tourism plays a larger role, you will notice much less of this.
