INTERSTUDENT 2025 – competition for the best foreign student in Poland

INTERSTUDENT 2025
This is the 15th edition of the Interstudent competition, in which we reward the best foreign students who study at Polish universities. We are looking for interesting and ambitious people, good students, but above all active and involved in the academic environment of their university. And every year, thanks to cooperation with universities, we find many excellent candidates.

We want to present foreign students who study, work socially, get involved in the life of their communities. They are an example for colleagues and ambassadors of Polish universities in their countries.

We are waiting for applications until December 12th, 2024. Then the Jury will meet and select the winners. Traditionally, we will award prizes in three basic categories: bachelor’s studies, master’s studies and doctoral studies. The Jury may also award a Special Prize for special achievements and commitment.
