Is this university right for you?

Not recommended if

You cannot prepare for the Biology + Chemistry entrance exam; you want the easiest admission route (choose UPWr which requires only a motivation interview); you need the lowest possible living costs

Overall assessment

(Poland's most prestigious veterinary school — globally ranked in the top 51–70 by QS with nearly 200 years of tradition. The entrance exam is the only real hurdle. If you can clear it, this is the strongest veterinary credential in this entire list.)

Considerations

  • Entrance exam required (Biology + Chemistry) — the main admission barrier
  • only 60 seats per year (smallest veterinary English cohort in Poland)
  • Warsaw is Poland's most expensive city (higher living costs vs. Wrocław)
  • entrance exam may require preparation

How it compares

vs. Wrocław); entrance exam may require preparation; tuition may have increased from published €8,400 figure

vs. UPWr Wrocław (#22 — 4.43/5): WULS-SGGW scores 4.20 vs UPWr 4.43. UPWr wins on: no written entrance exam, slightly lower confirmed tuition (~€9,300 flat vs. WULS ~€8,400 but unclear if current), global placement flexibility for internships, Wrocław's better lifestyle score, and UPWr's Shanghai ARWU Top 100 Vet. WULS-SGGW wins on: QS Vet top 51–70 vs. UPWr not specifically ranked, Warsaw connect
