Located on the banks of the Biała River, Bialystok is the largest city in northeastern Poland. Higher education in the city can be traced back to the eighteenth century. Now the city is home to one main city universities i.e. University of Białystok and two other public universities: Białystok Technical University and Medical University of Białystok.

Like many other EU countries, Poland offers inexpensive or even free tuition to EU students. Prospective students should apply directly to their chosen Polish institution. The University of Warsaw, for example, charges between £1,300 and £2,500 per year for its English language courses.

A Master of Science is an advanced program of study that can be earned in about two years. Many schools offer online or part-time MSc programs so that busy learners can further their education in a way that is convenient for them.
