Success for KSTO Korab at the 2024 International Water Bike Regatta

KSTO Korab
Between 16 and 18 May, the KSTO Korab Scientific Circle team enjoyed their biggest success in seven years at the prestigious International Waterbike Regatta, claiming 2nd place on the podium overall.

Studying is not only about learning, but also about developing your passions and interests. KSTO Korab students combine their studies with their passion for water sports - building watercraft and then competing with them in international regattas. The team of 15 students worked hard for four days, right from their arrival on Wednesday, to ensure that all the watercraft were in maximum working order. This was the culmination of months of intensive preparation and the efforts of the entire team.

Important events for new international students

Jumping students on the front of Main Building
Are you an international student starting your studies at Gdańsk University of Technology in October? Be sure to read about the events we have prepared for you and your fellow students who are also beginning their student journey in Gdańsk.

At the beginning of each academic semester, the International Relations Office of Gdańsk Tech organizes two events for newly admitted international students: Student Registration and Welcome Meeting.

Both events are important not only because new international students can complete the registration process and obtain important information regarding formalities related to their stay in Poland. Newcomers can also get to know their fellow students with whom they will be studying for the next few years.
