University of Warsaw

What you'll study

This programme combines core management disciplines with applied, internationally oriented subjects. Typical modules cover strategic management, corporate finance and financial analysis, marketing management, operations and supply chain management, organisational behaviour and leadership, and international business. Electives and specialisation options often include entrepreneurship and innovation, digital transformation and business analytics, corporate governance and ethics, mergers and acquisitions, and sector-focused subjects such as financial services, healthcare management or public sector leadership.

Teaching methods balance lectures and seminars with case studies, group projects, simulations and applied consultancy projects. Coursework emphasises problem solving, data-informed decision making and cross-cultural management. A capstone project, consultancy placement or thesis provides an opportunity to apply learning to a real organisational challenge.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold a recognised bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification. Professional work experience is typically required or strongly recommended for this kind of professional MBA-style programme; many successful applicants have at least a few years of relevant employment. Admissions will usually consider academic transcripts, a CV or résumé, a statement of purpose or motivation letter, and references.

Where instruction or assessment is in English, evidence of English language proficiency is required from applicants who do not have prior higher education taught in English; acceptable proof may include recognised test scores or institutional documentation. Shortlisted candidates may be invited to an interview (in person or online) to discuss their experience, motivation and suitability for the programme.

Career prospects

Graduates typically move into middle- and senior-management roles across the private, public and third sectors. Common career destinations include general management, strategic planning, marketing management, operations and supply chain leadership, finance and corporate development, and management consulting. The programme also supports those aiming to start or scale businesses, or to transition into international roles and cross-border functions.

The programme’s applied projects, corporate links and Warsaw location help students build professional networks with employers in Poland and the wider Central and Eastern European region, supporting recruitment into multi‑national companies, local industry leaders and advisory firms.
