New campus in Kraków – 6th Faculty of Psychology
In September 2022, SWPS University opened its new campus in Kraków at the seat of the Tischner European University (WSE). This step has initiated the process of gradual integration of both institutions.
Shortly after, SWPS University’s new Faculty of Psychology in Kraków was established in December 2022. Professor Edward Nęcka, who also holds the position of the Rector of WSE, was appointed Dean of the Faculty, while Anna Popielska-Borys, who holds the position of WSE’s Director General, was appointed Director of Operations of SWPS University’s offshoot in Kraków.
As of October 2023, the Faculty of Psychology in Kraków will offer undergraduate full-time study program in English, and full-time and part-time graduate programs in Polish. The offer will also include several graduate certificate programs.
As part of the integration process of SWPS University and WSE, we have appointed a team of 16 employees representing both institutions. The team is working on transferring WSE’s education offer to SWPS University’s Józef Tischner offshoot as of 2024/2025 academic year, and on establishing the necessary administrative support and infrastructure for the seven study programs. Moreover, the team is paving the path for the launch of SWPS University’s psychology study programs at WSE’s campus in October 2023. The merger of the two higher education institutions will provide new opportunities for employees and students.
