About the course

A 7-semester, full-time engineer’s degree in computer science taught in English, covering programming (Java, C/C++, Python), databases, web and mobile applications, networks, operating and embedded systems, data analysis and the basics of AI, with nearly 40 specialised elective classes. It uses project and problem-based teaching.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • TUL accepts secondary school certificates from EU/OECD countries without separate Polish recognition, so the Leaving Certificate is eligible (with an apostille). TUL converts each qualifying subject grade to points on a 30-100 scale using the grade scale of the issuing system, then applies weightings for ‘basic’ or ‘advanced’ level; it publishes no Leaving Cert-specific table, so confirm with admissions how Higher and Ordinary Level (H1-H8, O1-O8) are weighted.
  • Ranking uses Mathematics (weight 6), English (weight 2) and one of Physics or Computer Science (weight 4); a missing additional subject counts as zero.
  • English: at least 60% in English at ‘advanced level’ plus proof of B2 (e.g. IELTS 6.0, TOEFL iBT 72, Cambridge B2 First). Leaving Cert English is not on TUL’s list of accepted certificates, and English-taught bachelor applicants may have to pass TUL’s online advanced English exam (minimum 60%), so ask admissions in writing about an exemption.

Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: 2026 cycle (2027 dates not yet published). Round 1: registration and fee 9 June-10 July 2026, final deadline for entering results and uploading scans 10 July, entrance exams for foreign candidates 14 July, results 17 July. Round 2 (for candidates who can enter Poland visa-free, including Irish citizens): registration 1-14 September 2026, entrance exams 16 September, results 19 September, but Computer Science had no places left for round 2 in 2026. Original documents due by 28 September; classes start in October..

Costs

  • No tuition for EU citizens: TUL states that the Article 324(2) exemption (which covers EU/EEA/Swiss citizens) applies to its English-taught programmes. Students without an exemption pay 9,000 PLN per semester (2026/27). Application fee: 85 PLN per programme, paid online in the Candidate Portal and not refundable unless the programme does not open. The exemption is for full-time study only.
The first round closes on 10 July, before Leaving Cert results issue, and in 2026 there were no places left for the September round, so ask TUL before applying whether it will accept an Irish application in July without final results. EU citizens pay no tuition, but the non-EU fee is 9,000 PLN per semester.
