 Required documents

 

​​Below you will find a complete list of documents required from Polish citizens in the admission procedure for second cycle studies:

1. The application form downloaded from the Internet Registration System


2. The agreement on terms of payment for educational services.

3.  The academic degree diploma (or an equivalent document). In the case of diplomas issued by non-Polish universities, the diploma must entitle you to undertake second-cycle studies in the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued; in such a case, you also need to submit a relevant diploma supplement or transcript of grades. In the case of non-Polish or non-EU/EFTA/OECD documents, you should also:
  • legalise or apostille your diploma – read more about legalisation and apostille below;
  • submit a sworn translation into Polish or English of your diploma (and of its supplement/transcript of grades) – read more about accepted sworn translations below
4. The document confirming your knowledge of English (required in the case of studies in English) – list of recognized documents.


Please note that if you wish to study at SGH, do not delay your application after you have defended your thesis! Even if your thesis defence is scheduled for July or early August, you should register in the Internet Registration System as soon as possible – you will be required to present your diploma (or a certificate of completion of studies) only once you are qualified to admission.


Sworn translations

All documents issued in a language other than Polish or English should be submitted along with their sworn translation into Polish or English.

A sworn translation can be done by:

  • a sworn translator registered by the Polish Ministry of Justice;
  • a sworn translator registered in any EU/EFTA/OECD member state;
  • a consul of the Republic of Poland residing in the territory of the country where the document was issued.

Regular translations can be certified by one of the above bodies. Translations certified by a notary will not be accepted.

If you encounter any difficulties regarding translation of your documents, please contact the Promotion and Admissions Office.


Legalisation (or apostille)

If your educational document was issued by a non-Polish or non-EU/OECD/EFTA institution, you need to legalise it or endorse it with an apostille. Your diploma may be legalised by:

  • a consul of the Republic of Poland residing in the territory of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued;
  • education authorities of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued;
  • diplomatic representation or consular office of the country where (or in the education system of which) the document was issued, accredited in any EU/EFTA/OECD member state.

If a country in which given document was issued is a party to The Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, legalisation is replaced by an apostille.

The list of countries which signed to The Hague Convention can be found at https://www.hcch.net/en/states/hcch-members. 

Information concerning national bodies competent in the area of apostilles in each country can be found at https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/authorities1/?cid=41.
