Health Insurance


International students must prove health insurance coverage within the Polish Republic in order to obtain a temporary residency permit and be admitted to SGGW. Medical insurance is mandatory for all students - without this, entry may be refused.


  • EU-Residents should obtain a general health insurance policy for students studying abroad.



Applicants from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland: Free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). The EHIC gives access to state-provided medical treatment only. The scheme gives no entitlement to medical repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature. Note that the EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
Other nationalities: IMS will help students find basic health insurance, either in their home country or in Poland. More information can be obtained from the Polish Embassy or Consulate in your country.

Medical care

Please always check current information about regulations of medical care in Poland at the Polish Embassy/Consulate in your country, or on the website of the Polish Ministry for Foreign Affairs:



http://www.msz.gov.pl

and on the website of the National Health Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia):



http://www.nfz.gov.pl/new

We recommend the medical support offered through well-developed private clinics. You should ensure that your insurance covers any costs and invoices from private clinics abroad.


Insurance


Health insurance, personal accident coverage and liability insurance are required for the whole period of study in Poland. Proof of the insurance is necessary for registration at SGGW.

Tuition & Fees


Tuition is calculated per academic year and covers the cost of education only. Students are required to pay a one-time registration fee to secure their place at SGGW. IMS accepts registration fees until 1 September 2013. Since the university operates on a first-come, first-served basis, however, preference is given to students who register early.

Since Poland’s admittance into the European Union in 2004, the cost of living in Warsaw is not too expensive by European standards. Students can enjoy a comfortable life for comparatively little money, at student friendly prices, with many discounts available.
The Polish zloty (PLN) is tied to the Euro (); In November 2011 the average exchange rate was 4,1 PLN to 1 EUR, fluctuation is limited to ±10%. Below is a table of estimated monthly costs.

Housing


The University provides students with self-catered accommodation in the university’s dormitories, in double rooms (2 people per bedroom) for around €110 per month (price includes costs of water, heating, electricity and internet connection). Rooms include a hob/stove, table, and refrigerator/freezer. The dormitories are located on the SGGW campus, at a distance of 200 to 300 meters from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and sport facilities. In the dormitories, there is a central kitchen and dining room where it is possible to prepare dinner. Internet at Limba is wired – an Ethernet cable is required.

It is also possible to rent an apartment in the city for about €300-€700 per month (excluding costs of electricity, gas, phone, cable TV, and internet), however, it is strongly advised to live on SGGW campus for the first semester.



The University provides accommodation if the housing form is sent to University before 16/06/2013; after this date we cannot guarantee a place or the standard of accommodation (Limba dormitory is the first choice for international students, however other dormitories may be used). Link to information about rooms in Limba: http://adiss.sggw.pl/ - Click on “Domy studenckie” and scroll down to Zespół Domów Studenckich nr 7 – a link to photos and the address of Limba are given.

Leisure


Having fun in Warsaw is cheap! Typical costs: Movie ticket: 30 PLN (€7); Theatre/opera ticket: 60-140 PLN (€14–32); Museum entrance fee: 8-20 PLN (€2-5); Swimming pool (SGGW): 10 PLN/hour (€2.50); Tennis (SGGW): 50 PLN/hour (€12); Fitness Centre (SGGW): 10 PLN (€2.5); Horse riding (SGGW) 30 PLN/hour (€7).
Note: The university campus has its own modern sport facilities including a swimming pool, tennis, volleyball, football, basketball, aerobics, fitness centre, and sauna. It is only 100 meters from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine buildings! A horse riding school is located 50 m from the Faculty Horse Clinic in Wolica (ca. 2 km from SGGW campus). During the first year there are 2 hours per week of sport exercises in the education program, meaning this time the facilities are for free. Any further activities are charged with a reduced price for all SGGW students. There is also the Cumann Warszawa GAA Gaelic football team, who many international students play for. Non-SGGW sports facilities e.g. 5-a-side football pitches are available to hire and are located near the campus. There are plenty of paths for bicycles and roller skaters around the SGGW campus.

Vertulio – Warsaw’s Bike Rental System


Recently, the Veturilo cycle hire scheme has been set up around the SGGW campus – cycles can be hired from stands outside the Limba dormitory and the sports centre. A small joining fee is required, while the actual cost of hiring a bike is determined by the length (time) of hire, according to the tariff.
