Dear International Students!
Welcome to NCU!
In order to make your life easier we have collected some useful information.
- We have prepared for you a bunch of instruction movies that cover wide range of issues, including academic, financial, housing, legal and personal matters. You will certainly find important information about Toruń, our University or how to work in Poland. (The Dream apply platform is not used anymore by our University)
- Another way to broaden your knowledge about our University and our city is to watch a series of films “Come 2 study” which are interviews with our academic and administration staff, as well as students and postgraduates on culture, sport, research etc..
- Finally, for those of you who are interested in Polish cuisine, it is suggested that you watch lectures “Taste of Poland”, where it is presented how to cook some Polish dishes, even in your dormitory kitchen.
