What we stand for
Six principles that guide how we choose partner schools, set our fee, and support every student we take on.
Student-first
We only recommend programmes that fit you — not programmes that pay us the highest commission. The fee you pay us is the same whichever school you choose.
Transparent pricing
A flat enrolment fee, paid in two stages. No hidden charges, no success-contingent surprises, no commission from schools baked into your tuition.
Real human support
Every student gets a named advisor. Not a chatbot, not a ticket system — a person in Poland you can call when your visa letter is late.
Independent partners
We work with accredited Polish schools of every size — state universities, private academies, specialist colleges. We're not tied to a single institution.
Honest about fit
Our job is to tell you if Poland isn't the right move, or if a programme isn't right for your portfolio. We'd rather place fewer students well than many badly.
Beyond enrolment
Getting in is the start. We stay with you through visa, arrival, first year, and community — because that's where most international students actually struggle.
How Poland compares
A side-by-side look at what it actually costs to study fashion or design in Europe's leading creative capitals — tuition, rent, transport, and life.

Your journey to Poland
From first conversation to first day of term takes 4–6 months on average. We handle everything at every step — and none of it requires you to be in Poland until you actually move.
Enquiry & discovery call
Fill out our form or book a call. We'll talk through your goals, your portfolio, your budget, and recommend programmes that fit.
School selection & application
Once you've picked a school, we prepare your application, polish your portfolio, write your personal statement, and coach you through interviews.
Acceptance & tuition
When you're accepted, we walk you through the school's acceptance process, help you pay your tuition fees, and secure your place.
Visa, accommodation, logistics
This is where we save you months of headaches. Student visa, residence permit, document translations, and accommodation — all handled.
Arrival & onboarding
We meet you at the airport, take you to your new flat, help you open a bank account, get a SIM card, and show you around your new city.
Start your enquiry
Tell us a bit about yourself. We'll reply within 24 hours to book a free 20-minute call — no commitment, just a proper conversation about whether Poland and our service are right for you.
FOR STUDENTS WITH AN IDEA
The incubator — for the ones already building.
Some students arrive with a business idea already half-formed — a brand, a label, a studio concept. If that's you, we offer a separate programme that starts alongside your studies — or on day one if the idea is ready.

Monthly 1-to-1 sessions with Polish and international founders in fashion, design, and retail.
Creative studio space
Access to our Kraków studio with sewing machines, pattern-cutting tables, and a shared work area.
Portfolio & branding
We help you shape your visual identity, photograph your work, and build a portfolio that opens doors.
Industry connections
Warm introductions to our 50+ maker network, Polish fashion buyers, and our partner design schools.
Go-to-market support
Pop-ups, craft fairs, showcases, and a small founders' retail slot at the Slow Fashion Cafe.
Legal & registration
Guidance on registering a Polish sole trader (JDG) or limited company, tax basics, and VAT.
Available as an add-on to any of our partner-school programmes, or as a standalone service.

What our students say
Yejin Park
Seoul → Warsaw · BA Fashion Design
★★★★★ · Feb 2026
Fabric Republic made the impossible feel manageable. From my first enquiry to my first day at school, I had someone in my corner who actually cared.
Chinedu Okafor
Lagos → Kraków · Foundation Year
★★★★★ · Jan 2026
I was nervous about studying in a new country, but my advisor made everything clear. The visa process, the accommodation, even where to buy groceries.
Maya Rodríguez
Mexico City → Łódź · MA Sustainable Fashion
★★★★★ · Dec 2025
The best decision I made was not just choosing Poland, but choosing Fabric Republic to help me get here. Worth every penny.
Tom Whitfield
London → Poznań · BA Graphic Design
★★★★★ · Nov 2025
As a UK student post-Brexit, I had no idea where to start. They handled everything — and I made friends before I even arrived through their community events.
Frequently asked
What does the enrolment fee cover?
Our €1,800 enrolment fee covers everything from your first discovery call through to your first week in Poland: application preparation, portfolio review, personal statement writing, interview coaching, visa guidance, accommodation placement, airport pickup, and a dedicated year-one advisor.
Do I pay tuition fees to Fabric Republic or to the school?
You pay tuition fees directly to the school. Our enrolment fee is separate and covers our support services. We do not take commission from schools, so our advice is always unbiased.
What happens if my visa is refused?
We have a 98% visa success rate, but if your visa is refused, we will help you appeal or reapply at no extra cost. If you decide not to proceed, our fee is partially refundable according to our terms.
Can I work part-time while studying in Poland?
Yes. International students can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays. We help you find part-time work with our partner makers, cafes, and studios.
Do I need to speak Polish to study in Poland?
Not necessarily. Many programmes are taught in English. However, if you plan to study in Polish, we offer language preparation courses to help you reach the required B2 level.
What if I'm not sure which programme is right for me?
That's exactly what our discovery call is for. We'll talk through your goals, portfolio, budget, and interests — then recommend programmes that fit. There's no obligation to proceed.
