LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF KOZMINSKI UNIVERSITY

CEL STUDIÓW Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Choosing a university is one of the most important decisions a student makes for the simple reason that the rewards or consequences of this decision remain influential for many years. It is therefore worthwhile for you to take the time to select a school that not only provides numerous opportunities to further your studies and enhance your career, but to select a school that is known for its uniqueness, achievements and reputation. With this in mind, I warmly invite you to visit Kozminski University, the only institution in Poland that has been awarded with three of the most prestigious international accreditations available in academia: EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA.This distinction (known globally as the ‘Triple Crown’) is currently held by only 89 universities worldwide and it guarantees the highest level of education quality and institutional impact. The ”Financial Times”, one of the world’s premier financial publications, also recognizes Kozminski University and its programs – particularly the Master in Management and the Master in Finance and Accounting – as being among the best on offer. Every year our University continues its upward climb by hosting numerous international conferences and seminars and providing diverse lectures delivered by prominent scientists, business leaders, Nobel Prize winners, and representatives of foreign governments. Kozminski University is able to attract these prominent thinkers and appliers because we are a world-renowned business/science center known for our influential research and the development of economic science. Put more succinctly, Kozminski University is an international institute based in the heart of Europe that focuses on business, management, and law education. We combine theory with practice and deliver programs in English and Polish to students from nearly 80 countries. In short, we not only teach, we also create knowledge – and that means we can put you on the path to success. Come and check us out!

Professor Andrzej K. Koźmiński, Ph.D. President of Kozminski University

During the past couple of years, Kozminski University has become the first choice for many of your peers.What was the reason for this change in preference? Above all, their sense of self-esteem.

LETTER FROM THE RECTOR OF KOZMINSKI UNIVERSITY CEL STUDIÓW Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Our Prospective Students, Poland has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, and the most successful economy in Europe, with almost 5% GDP growth in 2019 and one of the lowest unemployment rates (under 6%). Our country has made an enormous progress in all areas of economy, business, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, social life, culture, and also business and management education, following patterns set by the best American and Western European business schools. You may become a part of this success story by joining Kozminski University. Kozminski University, based in Warsaw, was established in 1993 by a group of scholars, business professionals and consultants with a solid international background in management education, economy and advisory services. Early on, we have decided that our University should provide a world-class business education for Polish and international students, and that our programs would be also offered in English to ensure that our graduates can pursue their careers in any corporate, public or non-governmental institution in the world. The coveted international accreditations: AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA and CEEMAN are the best proof that our University has become an institution respected among international academic and business communities. Our campus is located in Warsaw, which is a thriving, culturally-rich, diverse, yet friendly and safe city with almost two million inhabitants, that attracts many visitors, business professionals, tourists and guests from all over the world. Our international students keep telling us that the welcoming charm of Warsaw, its modernity, reasonable cost and high quality of living, vibrant social and cultural life is convincing them to stay, live and work here even after graduation. Kozminski University programs, delivered in both English and Polish, provide a breadth of opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial culture, obtain in-depth knowledge of the best practices implemented by top companies, and prepare graduates to successfully compete in Polish and international job markets. The successful career paths of Kozminski University's graduates have been consistently confirmed by our positions in the “Financial Times” rankings of top business and management schools in Europe and in the world. In addition to that, Kozminski University offers its international students an inclusive, diverse environment (with every fourth student coming from a country other than Poland), outstanding conditions for studying, a friendly and nurturing learning atmosphere, affordable tuition, and obtainable scholarships. Friendships and relationships from studies at Kozminski University often last for years, and bring a lot of joy, values, and even profits to personal and business lives of our graduates. Simply put, with a Kozminski University diploma you can't go wrong! We are looking forward to hosting you at Kozminski University, in Warsaw and in Poland.

ACCREDITATIONS, AWARDS, DISTINCTIONS & AFFILIATIONS Amongst business school accreditations, the most difficult to acquire are EQUIS,AMBA, and AACSB (the so-called ‘Triple Crown’ of accreditations). Currently, around 90 out of 13 600 business schools in the world hold these three accreditations. In 2011, Kozminski University joined this prestigious group. What does this mean for prospective students? It guarantees the highest quality of education, which meets the most rigorous internationally recognized standards. It ensures that a Kozminski University diploma is recognized in the business world. We are the only university in Poland and one of two in Central Europe that holds these accreditations.

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is one of the world’s oldest business school accreditation bodies – and currently 6 percent of all business schools in the world hold an AACSB accreditation (816 business schools in 53 countries). Kozminski University is the only university in Poland that holds this accreditation. By obtaining AACSB accreditation Kozminski University has joined the group of such prestigious universities as Harvard, Yale or MIT.

Based in Brussels, the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) evaluates the quality of a business school's services and facilities and only awards its accreditation to the best. Currently, just 182 schools across the world carry the EFMD's prestigious EQUIS accreditation. In 1999 Kozminski University was the first university in Central and Eastern Europe to be awarded this distinction. In 2002, 2005, 2010 and most recently in 2015 Kozminski University successfully passed the reaccreditation proces..

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) confirms the highest quality of educational services amongst MB A programs. An AMB A evaluation considers factors such as facility, programs, staff qualifications, and student achievements and only around 240 of the business schools in the world are distinct enough to claim the AMBA accreditation. Kozminski University earned its first AMBA accreditation in June 2008 and passed the reaccreditation process in 2018.

This accreditation, which evaluates the level of professionalism of educational institutions, is awarded by the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN). In 2013, for the second time, Kozminski University passed the reaccreditation process.

Kozminski University is a full member of the European University Association – an organization that represents the European academic society throughout the world.

Kozminski University is a full member of the European Law Faculties Association (ELFA). It is also a member of the International Association of Law Schools.

The Polish Accreditation Committee awarded Kozminski University with distinctions regarding its staff, programs, quality of educational processes, and organizational requirements to a scale far exceeding standards imposed elsewhere in Poland. The following programs received the distinction:

PARTNERS OF KOZMINSKI UNIVERSITY

HIGHLY RANKED FOR ALUMNI CAREER PROGRESS Kozminski University is highly ranked in the alumni career progress category in the ”Financial Times” Global Masters in Management Ranking 2018 listing. Organizers of the ranking evaluate the careers of alumni three years after graduation and take into consideration elements such as career development, current management positions, and the prestige of the companies for which alumni work. Kozminski University devotes a great deal of effort to teaching entrepreneurship, which explains why so many of our alumni set up and quickly develop their own businesses after graduation.

Kozminski University also teaches the children of many Polish entrepreneurs, who subsequently assume managerial positions within their family-run 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. President of Kozminski University, Prof. Andrzej K. Koźmiński

CONGRATULATIONS FROM EMPLOYERS Kozminski University is the highest ranking Polish business university according to the ”Financial Times”. This results in numerous letters of congratulations from business leaders and professional association representatives. In one such letter, Ludwika Suska, from the Poland Graduate Resourcing Partner at Citibank Europe, wrote the following:

Kozminski University is an important partner for Citi Service Center Poland. A key form of cooperation is the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) major within the Master Program. AML is one of the very intensively developing departments of the Citi Service Center Poland. Students who are interested in a career in this field, are offered development opportunities within specialist positions, Summer Internship Program and AML Development Program.

POLAND 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. 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.

WARSAW 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. 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 manyVarsovians, 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.

David De Sousa Gomes Student of the Master in Finance & Accounting (Portugal)

Sara Troisi Student of the Master in Management (Italy)

Kozminski educated me through a practical approach to Finance and Accounting, valuing and promoting cooperative initiatives with the private sector, therefore adapting its teachings to current market needs. The faculty was extremely supportive of my participation on the 'CFA Research Challenge', where I developed financial technical skills as well as team-working abilities, culminating in a great job offer at PwC Warsaw in the Advisory Department, 6 months after my arrival in Poland. I strongly recommend Kozminski University.

Studying and living in another country is an amazing experience. Kozminski is a great chance to increase your skills and knowledge, to meet new people, who come from all over the world and to learn a different culture. Warsaw is a beautiful city that can offer you a lot of opportunities. After my first semester of the Master in Management, I am very happy to study at Kozminski thanks to the quality of the professors, the courses available and all the extra activity that you can do in this university. I chose Kozminski because it has a really good reputation, a strong international network and a high quality of education.

I was first introduced to Kozminski by a couple of friends, they told me wonders about the school: how great the facilities were, how helpful the staff from all the different departments was and, obviously, on how both the cool itself and the Masters in Management and in Finance were so well located in the ”Financial Times” rankings. Soraia Teixeira Student of the Master in Management (Portugal)

Now that I have completed my first semester at Kozminski, I can state that I couldn't have made a better choice. The way teachers conduct the classes, explaining the theory via case-studies and the fact that at the end of every class there's always space for debate makes the learning experience an exciting one as you are not just learning from a textbook – that you can do at any public library – but rather from other people's international experiences and that's something only a few schools in Europe can provide you.

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.
