Welcome Point
Welcome Point invites international students and employees
Welcome Point is the central information service for international employees, visitors, and students – both those who come to UW for a one-semester exchange and those who come to pursue the whole cycle of studies. We cooperate closely with the Admissions Office, the International Relations Office, the Office for Academic and Student Affairs, and other University units to provide you with relevant and up-to-date information on matters related to the University, student activities, and everyday life.
Our team is here to assist you at the beginning and during your stay in Warsaw. We will be glad to answer your questions concerning studies at UW and life in Poland, as well as to direct you to other University offices. We hope to make your transition to UW and life in Warsaw as smooth as possible!
