Organisational Structure<br />

Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie | Warsaw <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> Economics<br />

The Rector, Vice Rectors (for Teaching and <strong>Student</strong> Affairs, for International Cooperation, for Science and<br />

for Development) and the Senate, which is a principal legislative body <strong>of</strong> the <strong>School</strong>, constitute the supreme<br />

authorities <strong>of</strong> SGH.<br />

The old structure <strong>of</strong> faculties understood as the ‘federation <strong>of</strong> schools’ had been replaced by the concept <strong>of</strong> a<br />

matrix structure. The Dean’s Offices <strong>of</strong> Undergraduate and Graduate Studies are responsible for implementing<br />

teaching programmes. Foreign languages’ teaching is provided by the Centre for Foreign Languages. Optional<br />

classes in physical education are <strong>of</strong>fered by the SGH Sports Centre.<br />

Chairs and research institutes are associated into units called Collegia. The Collegia group together faculty<br />

members with shared research interests and <strong>of</strong>fer curricula composed <strong>of</strong> specialist subjects. The programmes<br />

are addressed to full-time, part-time, postgraduate and doctoral students. The Collegia are headed by Deans.<br />

Each Collegium has its individual Scientific Council composed <strong>of</strong> all pr<strong>of</strong>essors and associate pr<strong>of</strong>essors as<br />

well as representatives <strong>of</strong> the remaining faculty members.<br />

The following Collegia operate within SGH: Collegium <strong>of</strong> Economic Analysis, Collegium <strong>of</strong> Socio-Economics,<br />

Collegium <strong>of</strong> World Economy, Collegium <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> Administration, Collegium <strong>of</strong> Management and Finance.<br />

Types <strong>of</strong> Studies<br />

SGH <strong>of</strong>fers four types <strong>of</strong> studies:<br />

Full-time studies<br />

These studies (except study programmes in English) are tuition-free for Polish and EU students. On average,<br />

every academic year over 1,000 persons are enrolled in the full-time programme. Since the 2006/2007 academic<br />

year, SGH has been running a three-tier system <strong>of</strong> studies (following the Bologna Agreement rules and<br />

Higher Education Act): 3-year Bachelor’s (undergraduate) studies, 2-year Master’s studies (graduate), and<br />

3-year Doctoral studies. <strong>Student</strong>s <strong>of</strong> undergraduate studies admitted to SGH are to choose their major field <strong>of</strong><br />

study (with an optional minor). Graduate students are enrolled directly in the field <strong>of</strong> studies decalred as their<br />

major.<br />

Part-time studies<br />

This is a tuition-fee based three-cycle programme that runs in parallel with full-time studies. Part-time<br />

courses are held on Saturdays and Sundays or in the evening during the week and require a lot <strong>of</strong> individual<br />

work and self-discipline.<br />

Postgraduate studies<br />

These studies are addressed to graduate students who wish to upgrade and enhance their pr<strong>of</strong>essional qualifi-<br />
