Faculty of Management was established in 1972 as part of the University of Warsaw. It is the oldest university faculty of management in Poland as well as in Central and Eastern Europe. Nowadays, it is one of the most respected management education and research centres in Poland. The Faculty offers various programs of study on four levels of education – bachelor, master, doctoral and postgraduate studies.   The Faculty of Management has aimed to produce expert managers for Polish business and local and central government and internationalize School operations through students and faculty exchange, long term agreements and alliances with very good international business schools, and accreditations. These aims were reflected in the setting up in 1990 of the International Centre for Management Studies and in 2000 the International Business Program.
The International Centre for Management Studies runs the Executive Master of Business Studies programme (Executive M.B.A), a prestigious degree course, considered to be one of the best in Poland.
