Vistula University
Quick answer: Vistula University (AFiB Vistula) is a private university in Warsaw offering more than 40 bachelor’s and master’s programmes in English and Polish. For 2026/27 it has published two fee lists, NON-EU and “EU, Central Asia” (EU+): Management, for example, costs €4,000 a year on the first and €2,900 on the second. Which list covers Azerbaijani citizens is not stated, so ask admissions in writing. The application fee is €150 and the spring deadline is 31 January 2027.
Vistula is known for business and finance: its 2026/27 catalogue lists ACCA, AICPA & CIMA, PMI GAC, CEEMAN and THE-ICE accreditations, and it ranked 3rd for “International Student Diversity” in the QS Europe Rankings 2025.

Over a three-year bachelor’s the gap adds up. The application portal shows the lower EU+ figures, yet no official source says which list Azerbaijan falls under, so budget for both and get your fee confirmed by email.

Polish law sets the return sum by home country; as Azerbaijan neither borders Poland nor belongs to the EU/EFTA, the 2,500 zł level applies, and your bank statement should show it next to the living-cost money.
