Warsaw School of Economics - Courses Offered

Courses Offered

SGH is a university with no departments. Within full-time and part-time studies, they are conducted in two levels. Bachelor studies, which last for 6 semesters, lead to a Bachelor's professional title. Holders of such a title may apply for a place and begin Master studies which last for 4 semesters. To obtain a diploma (as well as credit terms)it is necessary to gather the required minimum points. Individual subjects are divided into mandatory for particular fields, optional for those subjects, additional items which help develop the knowledge unrelated to specific subjects and objects of education common to all economists. Different subjects can have different minima points for each of these types of items.

SGH full-time students are offered the following fields of study in Polish:

- Economics,

- European Master in Law and Economics,

- European Studies,

- Finance and Accounting,

- Quantitative Methods and Information Systems,

- Management (Business Administration),

- Public Sector Economics (Public Administration),

- Social Policy,

- Spatial Economic Policy,

- International Economics.

From 2006/2007 Academic Year SGH Studies are divided into:

  • Bachelor's Studies (undergraduate) – 6-semester
  • Master's Studies (graduate) – 4-semester
  • Doctoral Studies – (6-semester)
  • System based on ECTS credits

All SGH students study basic macro- and micro- economics, mathematics, statistics, philosophy, social science, law, history, geography, and languages during the first three semesters. After having passed required examinations for the first three semesters, they then must register for one out of the six offered areas of studies. The BA degree is granted after completing a required amount of credits (about seven semesters of studies) and the MA (MSc) degree is granted after completing about eight to ten semesters (including six semesters for BA) which is the maximum period of tuition free study at SGH. It is worth mentioning that students do not have to get the BA before applying for the Master's degree, and the time span required for the degree in the given specialisation(s) depends mostly on students themselves, due to the free choice of courses (some limitations apply), professors, and the maximum work load per semester.

Famous quotes containing the words courses and/or offered:

    However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Popularity is the only insult that has not yet been offered to Mr. Whistler.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
