Currently, I am developing a new university ranking methodology, named Poznan Ranking, which will measure and rank the internationality of universities at the international level.

Journal Paper
becoming a popular study destination among international students. However, the country still lacks extensive
research works on their circumstances. This paper aims to present non-EU students’ major ongoing challenges in
the City of Poznan. The findings are taken from author’s own experience and others’ research findings at Migrant
Info Point – a Poznan based immigrant advisory center. It is found that non-EU students often face difficulties
while legalizing their stay and looking for accommodation. Beside these, their employment prospectus is also
challenged because of linguistic barriers. Furthermore, immigration rules do not favor the graduates. To some
extent, European students also face many of these challenges. Respective authorities need to acknowledge and
resolve these obstacles immediately in order to retain and gain popularity.
