Higher education institutions are divided, irrespective of their status, into academic and vocational ones. An academic higher education institution is a school in which at least one of its organisational units is entitled to award the academic degree of doktor.

A vocational higher education institution is a school offering first or second cycle study programmes or one-tier (long-cycle) study programmes, and which is not entitled to award the academic degree of doktor.

First cycle programmes leading to a licencjat degree last from 6 to 8 semesters, and those leading to an inżynier degree last seven or eight semesters. Second cycle degree programmes last three or four semesters and one-tier (long-cycle) programmes leading to a magister degree last from 9 to 12 semesters.

Doctoral study programmes last no longer than 4 years and upon completion graduates are awarded a certificate. Under a separate procedure graduates are conferred the academic degree of a doktor or doktor w zakresie sztuki.

Higher education programmes and doctoral programmes may be offered as full-time or part-time programmes.
