Those still considering what to study can now explore the 10th edition of the Polish Graduate Tracking System (ELA), released by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) in collaboration with the National Information Processing Institute (OPI PIB). The updated data helps determine which university majors are among the most lucrative within five years following graduation and how long it takes to find a job. This year, new indicators have been added to the system to reflect the economic circumstances of graduates by their province of graduation.
