The main aim of this paper is to investigate the factors which influence students when deciding to study abroad. The case study is based on Polish students studying in the British higher education system (UK HE) and the paper examines these students' choices and their decision-making process when selecting their university studies. The literature review suggests that there are two types of factors influencing students' decision- making process: push factors, which operate within the home country, and pull factors, meaning that students are attracted by the host country and encouraged to study there. Polish students constitute a significant group of EU students who study in the UK and yet there are very few studies on this particular group. The results from this qualitative research on Polish students studying in a selected British university indicate that, contrary to a number of other studies, pull factors could be more important in influencing Polish students' decision-making process regarding studying abroad.

Głównym celem tego artykułu jest zbadanie, które czynniki mają wpływ na podejmowanie decyzji studentów o studiach za granicą. Studium przypadku stanowią Polacy studiujący w brytyjskich uczelniach wyższych. Dokument analizuje proces podejmowania decyzji przez tych studentów w zakresie wyboru studiów uniwersyteckich. Przegląd literatury sugeruje, że istnieją dwa rodzaje czynników, które wpływają na ten proces: wypychające (ang. push), które działają w kraju pochodzenia, oraz przyciągające (ang. pull), co oznacza, że studenci są "przyciągani" przez kraj przyjmujący i zachęcani do studiowania tam. Polacy stanowią dość znaczną część studentów z UE uczących się w Wielkiej Brytanii, ale jest bardzo mało badań na tej konkretnej grupie. Wyniki badań jakościowych na Polakach studiujących na wybranym uniwersytecie brytyjskim wskazują, że w przeciwieństwie do wielu innych badań czynniki przyciągające mogą mieć większy wpływ na podejmowane decyzje polskich studentów w zakresie uczenia się za granicą.
