65 Best Art & Design schools in Poland

Updated: March 02, 2025

Ranking by academic field

Below is a list of best universities in Poland ranked based on their research performance in Art & Design. A graph of 669K citations received by 90.2K academic papers made by 65 universities in Poland was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.

Please note that our approach to subject rankings is based on scientific outputs and heavily biased on art-related topics towards institutions with computer science research profiles.
