studentów

Studentów is the genitive plural form of the Polish noun student, used to refer to a person who studies at a university or college. The form is masculine personal, and it typically denotes a group that can include men and women; for groups of female students the feminine plural is studentki, while the nominative plural is studenci.

Uses of studentów include contexts that require the genitive case. It commonly appears after numerals, for example dwóch studentów (two students) or pięciu studentów (five students). It is also used after prepositions that govern the genitive, such as bez studentów (without students) or brak studentów (lack of students). In official statistics and academic writing, phrases like liczba studentów or populacja studentów often use the genitive form.

Morphology and gender notes: studentów marks possession or quantity rather than a simple subject. It is the genitive plural form of a masculine personal noun. In contrast, female students form the plural with studentki, whose genitive plural is studentek. The choice between forms depends on the number and the gender composition of the group being described.

In Polish education and discourse, the term is widely used to refer to attendees of higher education, as well as to groups of students in research, universities, and student organizations. The word appears in contexts ranging from demographic analyses to policy discussions about higher education access and participation.
