"Per aspera ad astra!" – support for international students and outreach with the educational offer to the most outstanding study candidates

Jagiellonian University in Kraków – where passion meets science. Discover the stories of our students from around the world.

JU is not only a prestigious institution with centuries of tradition – it is a space for intensive growth, inspiring encounters, and scientific discoveries. As part of the project “Per aspera ad astra! Support for foreigners and outreach to the most outstanding candidates for studies”, we invite you to explore the stories of students who chose JU as the place to pursue their development paths.

Together with academic staff, students share their experiences related to:

• choosing their field of study,
• participating in student research groups, research projects, and conferences,
• classes that particularly inspired them,
• lecturers who supported their growth and motivated them to act,
• academic, athletic, and personal achievements made possible through studying at JU.

These authentic, inspiring stories show that studying at the Jagiellonian University is more than acquiring knowledge – it’s a journey of self-discovery, building international relationships, and pursuing ambitious goals.

See what academic life at JU looks like through the eyes of those who already study here – and discover that it could be your path too. Per aspera ad astra!
