International Business

The programme gives students an overview of the different aspects of international markets and cross-border transactions, including their economic, managerial, cultural, political and social dimensions. It offers a solid and practical understanding of international business processes and practices, and provides students with relevant and up-to-date knowledge of international trade and finance, international investment and multinational enterprises. The programme builds the knowledge and skills necessary for critical and creative approaches to international business by studying contemporary economic theory, as well as through case studies and interactive learning activities (e.g. simulation games). 

The curriculum includes a broad mix of courses (taught by Polish and foreign lecturers and practitioners) that each touch upon some aspect of international economics and business, and that together give students a unique multidisciplinary perspective as business professionals. As a result, the programme prepares students for a global, diverse career with opportunities across many sectors and industries.

The students are also prepared to conduct an independent business activity whose scope includes foreign markets, as well as to internationalise their own business or family businesses. Finally, the graduates can apply for a Master’s degree.
The Programme has the EFMD Accredited label, the most comprehensive programme accreditation system for business degrees.
