Study Abroad Programs in Warsaw, Poland

There are about four major universities located in Warsaw: the University of Warsaw, the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, Warsaw School of Economics, and Warsaw University of Technology. International students will benefit from studying at any of these universities, but it is best for students to align their university choice with their major in order to make the most of study abroad in Warsaw. Outlined below are some of the most popular subjects of study in Warsaw, but this is merely an overview of the broad spectrum of courses that will be available to international students in Warsaw, as almost any topic is fair game.

Music. Most well known for being the birthplace of namesake and celebrated romantic composer Fryderyk Chopin, the Chopin University of Music is an exceptional place to study abroad in Warsaw for students in the process of earning a music degree. Though most noted for its composition program, performers and conductors alike can also find plenty of beneficial courses of study in Warsaw.

History. There truly is nothing that compares to the feeling of studying a portion of history where it actually took place, and living and studying in Warsaw will award students with many opportunities to do just that. As a pivotal city, and country for that matter, during WWII, students will have access to a number of historical landmarks and artifacts during any study abroad program in Warsaw. Warsaw is an especially fascinating place to study history abroad (particularly the events surrounding WWII), as it was completely destroyed during World War II and then completely re-built into the sprawling metropolis that it is today. The opportunity to literally walk through history cannot be taken advantage of enough by any study abroad student, no matter where they choose to travel to.

Archaeology. Working somewhat symbiotically alongside the history department, there are an impressive amount of research and archaeological study abroad program opportunities available throughout the city of Warsaw. Several universities lead research expeditions to outlying countries too, even as far as the Sudan, Egypt, and Peru, and there is also considerable funding from the EU and other governmental agencies for these types of programs.
