As of 6 October 2026, the 2026/27 calls are closed and NAWA has published the results of both (Banach 16/2026 and My First Choice 19/2026). NAWA has not yet announced the 2027/28 calls. Recent Banach calls were announced on 6 June 2025 and 13 April 2026, and My First Choice on 30 April 2026, so expect the next announcements around spring 2027 — but treat that as an estimate and confirm on nawa.gov.pl.

News posts used "3:00 p.m. (CEST)" for Banach and "3:00 PM Warsaw local time" for PMFC. The PDFs say local Warsaw time. Use Warsaw.
2027/28 cycle
Unpublished as of 6 October 2026, so treat it as forthcoming. Country lists, caps, and diploma-year cutoffs can move. Do not invent a May 2027 close. For orientation only: the Banach call was announced on 6 June 2025 (for 2025/26) and on 13 April 2026 (for 2026/27), and the My First Choice call on 13 March 2025 (for 2025/26) and 30 April 2026 (for 2026/27). The 2026 calls stayed open for roughly three to four weeks. If NAWA follows that pattern, the 2027/28 calls would open around spring 2027 for studies from October 2027 — confirm on the official pages.
Watch the Banach call page and the PMFC call page.
Track university admission deadlines separately from NAWA — they run on each university's own calendar.
