Candidates with a diploma obtained in Poland
1. Admission to a master-degree program requires a bachelor's, engineer's, master's or equivalent diploma in any field of study.
2. Candidates' points are calculated according to the following formula
Su x Ś x W+REL
Where:
- (Su) is the coefficient for having the status of a 'research university' (the Ministry of Science and Higher Education's 'Excellence Initiative - Research University' competition) by the degree-awarding institution in the year of UW enrollment. Having the status of a research university - a factor of 10, lack of this status - a factor of 9.
- (Ś) is the final grade from study. Final grade expressed on a scale other than the one used at the University of Warsaw (2-5), will be assimilated to it.
- (W) is a factor of:
- 1.8 - in case one of the following conditions is met:
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 90 hours of microeconomics and 90 hours of macroeconomics, and 60 hours of econometrics, and 60 hours of finance;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 150 hours of mathematical analysis and at least 60 hours of physics, or 60 hours of chemistry, or 60 hours of computer science, or 60 hours of finance;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 150 hours of mathematical analysis and 60 hours of mathematical statistics;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 180 total hours in programming subjects such as: Programming in R, Python, SAS, C++, C#, Java and others.
- 1 - in other cases, when none of the above criteria are met.
- 1.8 - in case one of the following conditions is met:
- (REL) to Research Experience Letter (optional) - additional 10 points.
Research Experience Letter is a document providing a description of experience, related to the field of study for which the Candidate is applying, confirmed by project supervisors. Projects, carried out as part of studies, student activities, scientific research work and professional experience will be taken into account.
Essential Elements of a Research Experience Letter:
- Description of the projects and the nature of the candidate's participation in the projects
- Data and supervisor function of each project
- Confirmation by the project supervisor(s) with the signature / stamp of the data contained
The total points for the Research Experience Letter consist of:
- Value of the candidate's achievements (4 points);
- Connection of projects with the scope of studies for which the candidate is applying (4 points);
- Relationship between the recommender and the candidate's educational / professional career (2 points)
3. Candidates independently fill out the application form, made available on their personal registration account in the IRK system, in which they attach scans of documents necessary for the calculation of enrollment points and indicate selected subjects affecting the value of the W factor, described in section 2, for evaluation by the admissions committee.
Subjects other than those indicated by candidates are not considered by the selection committee. On the basis of the completed application form, the committee decides whether the candidate meets the criteria for consideration of the higher factor (W).
Candidates are required to submit syllabuses of selected subjects, and the committee in its evaluation may take into account the compatibility of economic and mathematical subjects with the program at the UW.
Optionally, candidates also include a scan of the Research Experience Letter.
Confirmation of proficiency in English language
The Candidate must prove English language skills (at least at B2 level) by submitting accepted by the University of Warsaw document confirming English language knowledge or take part in exam checking the language skills at the University (English certificates recognised in the process of enrollment).
Please note! Certificates IELTS indicator and TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition are not accepted as a confirmation of English language knowledge in the process of admission to studies.
Candidates with foreign diplomas
1. Admission to a master-degree program requires a bachelor's, engineer's, master's or equivalent diploma in any field of study.
2. Candidates' points are calculated according to the following formula
Su x Ś x W+REL
Where:
- (Su) is the coefficient for the university's position in the Shanghai Ranking in the year of UW university enrollment. Position 1-500 - a factor of 10, further positions or no university on the ranking list - a factor of 9.
- (Ś) is the final grade from study. Final grade expressed on a scale other than the one used at the University of Warsaw (2-5), will be assimilated to it.
- (W) is a factor of:
- 1.8 - in the event that one of the following conditions is met:
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 90 hours of microeconomics and 90 hours of macroeconomics, and 60 hours of econometrics, and 60 hours of finance;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 150 hours of mathematical analysis and at least 60 hours of physics, or 60 hours of chemistry, or 60 hours of computer science, or 60 hours of finance;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 150 hours of mathematical analysis and 60 hours of mathematical statistics;
- The candidate's program of study included AT LEAST 180 total hours in programming subjects such as: Programming in R, Python, SAS, C++, C#, Java and others.
- 1 - in other cases, when none of the above criteria are met.
- 1.8 - in the event that one of the following conditions is met:
- (REL) to Research Experience Letter - (optional) additional 10 points.
