Warsaw is a charming, foreigner-friendly city.
The Institute of Economics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (INE PAN), the most internationally prestigious and advanced Polish research center on economic and business studies, cordially welcomes applications from candidates who wish to pursue their business education on one of its part-time programs taught in English:

INE PAN offers a splendid opportunity to gain critical analytic knowledge of business processes never leaving practical and human perspectives aside. Programs of INE PAN are conservative in principles and radical in innovations. They are taught by professors and researchers of INE PAN and by distinguished visiting scholars, experts and practitioners. Among EU countries, Poland was the only one with a positive GDP growth after the 2008 crisis. It is one of the most dynamic emerging markets. Studying at INE PAN you will, among other things, meet people who designed and propelled fateful economic changes.
Programs combine module format with distance learning and include a cultural program.
Structure of the program
The MBA and EDBA programs are structured in a similar way, which has proven to be the most efficient and participant-friendly.
MBA Program
- one academic year (2 semesters)
- 4 modules of 5 days each (and thesis defense)
Executive DBA
- two academic years (4 semesters)
- 8 modules of 5 days each

The content of all three programs is, of course, different. The MBA Program is usually chosen by young managers, junior associates, deputy- and vice- directors of various units as well as those without much business experience (or with none whatsoever). The EDBA Program is open for managers with serious business experience, company CEOs, chairmen of the board, heads of departments and other top business officers, who hold ambition to conduct serious research on some business-related problem.
Lecturers
The programs are taught by scholars and researchers working at the Polish Academy of Sciences as well as by visiting professors, practitioners, and experts. Among those who teach are such renowned professors as Leszek Jasinski, Director of the Institute of Economics of the Polish Academy of Sciences; Jerzy Osiatynski, Chair of the Academic Council of this Institute; Marek Belka, President of the National Bank of Poland; and Grzegorz Kolodko, former Deputy Prime-Minister and Minister of Finance of the Republic of Poland.
Admissions
There are two admissions periods: October-February (students begin their studies in March-April) and March-September (students commence their studies in October). Filling up an application form along with sending one’s CV, copy of BA or MA diploma and of one’s ID is enough to be considered for enrollment. There is no application fee.
