Diplomas issued in other languages have to be translated into Polish or English by an official translator or by the Polish Embassy or Consulate. b) While in Poland, international students will be required to nostrify their diplomas in a local educational council unless they come from the countries with which Poland has special recognition agreements English Language Requirements IELTS band: 6 TOEFL paper-based test score : 510 TOEFL iBT® test: 70
