In one such letter, Ludwika Suska, from the Poland Graduate Resourcing Partner at Citibank Europe, wrote the following:
„
Kozminski also teaches the children of many Polish entrepreneurs, who subsequently assume managerial positions within their familyrun businesses. Among the many reasons Kozminski University leads the global table in career rankings is its entrepreneurial spirit and the fact that its host country – Poland – is the only European country that maintained positive economic growth during the infamous 2008-2012 global recession.
„
Kozminski University is an important partner for Citi Service Center Poland. A key form of cooperation is the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) specialization within the Master Program.

Why Poland?
POLAND
WARSAW
Poland is one of the most exciting international locations to be in right now. The country is seeing unprecedented economic growth and is developing and modernizing at a remarkable pace. The warm ambience of the people and culture can be felt throughout its many cities.The capital of Warsaw is an economic hub seeing great investments from some of the world’s largest firms. The cultural center of Krakow to the south is a den of art, music, history, and jubilation.The bustling city of Gdansk to the north connects the country by sea to the rest of Europe and the world.The natural wonders of Poland also enhance its beauty and wonder. The quiet mountain town of Zakopane is Poland’s own winter wonderland, while the Mazury lake district is an outdoor paradise in the summer for those seeking adventure or relaxation. Poland enjoys both mountains and beaches and connects the West to the East, making a perfect crossroads for people of all preferences.
Warsaw is a thriving economic metropolis that is quickly becoming Central Europe’s own “city that never sleeps”. Pioneering Poland’s economic growth in the 21st century, Warsaw is currently seeing unprecedented investment from EU powers and the United States, and many of the world’s biggest firms have major offices in the city. In Warsaw, business is life, and on any given day the city hosts an eclectic mix of the business world’s elites. Since the end of communism in Poland over 25 years ago,Warsaw has taken off as a financial powerhouse and shows no signs of slowing down. For an up-and-coming CEO and for a budding business student trying to find his niche, Warsaw is without a doubt an enthralling place to be.
Poland is at the heart of an economic resurgence following the financial crisis from 2008. Recovery efforts for many western powers depend on opportunities in Poland, so all eyes are fixed on this central European nation. Poland has a thriving social life with more people showing an outpouring of interest in the arts, literature, sciences, and exercise.The country is, after all, the home of greats such as Frederic Chopin, Marie Skłodowska-Curie, and Joseph Conrad. Poland also offers the perfect blend of old and new. Home to quaint cottages and regal palaces, and a country which also showcases perplexing post Soviet architecture set in contrast with highly modern skyscrapers. Whether you’re looking for eastern antiques or the newest gadgets from the west, Poland has it all.
The city is teeming with social life of all sorts.The memory of the Warsaw Uprising during World War II still rings deep in the hearts of many Varsovians, who hold it dear as a sign of fighting for what is right, no matter the odds. This lively spirit is certainly evident today, and the city has a uniquely creative character to show for it. Arts, music, and culture all show a haunting mix of traditional and modern characteristics, offering something that appeals to everyone.The city hosts two football clubs who play in the Polish premiere league, and it is still enjoying the experience it had as a host city during the Euro 2012 Championship. Warsaw’s residents are an active sort, so doing anything under the stars is definitely an option.

GROUP
According to prognoses the capital flowing from crowdfunding shall in the nearest future exceed classic sources of funding such as venture capital funds. To meet expectations of the KU community members we have decided to face the changing conditions. In cooperation with the pioneers of Polish equity crowdfunding equipped with years of know-how, we have created Kozminski Angels.
Years of consulting and mentoring experience (mentoring for consulting projects within MBA programs, conducting development and consulting programs for development of managerial staff of enterprises, management consulting) result in foundation of Kozminski Consulting. Its main activity is business transformation, which mostly consumes the load of knowledge and experience we possess.
KOZMINSKI BUSINESS HUB’S GOAL Combining the potential of a 60-thousand strong KU community and international knowledge regarding business management with contemporary market needs

I totally recommend it! Feel free to reach out with any questions if you would also like to fulfill your small American Dream!

Application Requirements
EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM A credit system is a systematic way of describing an educational
program by attaching credits to its components. ECTS is based on the convention that 60 credits measure the workload of a full time student during one academic year. The student workload of a full-time study program in Europe amounts in most cases to 36/40 weeks per year and in those cases one credit stands for 24 to 28 working hours. Workload refers to the notional time an average learner is expected to complete the required learning outcomes. Thanks to ECTS Kozminski University students can complete study programs abroad and transfer the credit they have gained so that it is included in their program of studies. Same is true for incoming exchange students who can complete courses at Kozminski University and the credit for those courses will be honored by their home universities.
