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,

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:
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
