Openness

The challenges that we face in the 21st century are too complex to be approached and solved only from one perspective. Complex problems require solutions that go beyond the borders of scientific disciplines, approaches or experiences. For us “openness” means interdisciplinary approach, international cooperation, and close relationships with the community and business organizations

Interdisciplinary Approach
We represent three scientific disciplines: management and quality studies, sociology, and politics, administration and public policy studies.

International Cooperation
Our students and academics have an opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ international exchange programs. SWPS University has signed over 100 cooperation agreements with higher education institutions around the world. At the same time, international students from over 60 countries study at SWPS University.

Community
We are a community of employees, lecturers, students, graduates, and representatives of the local community and business organizations that have been founded on long-standing relationships and collaborations.

Courage

We teach for the future. We not only transfer knowledge, but also develop social and personal competencies, which provide our graduates with a competitive advantage on the contemporary job market, so that they could become initiators and leaders of organizational change.

Active-Learning
We subscribe to active learning through experience and experimentation. Students learn through workshops, group projects, discussions, debates and simulations reflecting the challenges of the contemporary world.

Highest Standards of Education
We ensure that our study programs meet the highest standards of education. We consult our programs of study with experts specializing in the discipline of social sciences, and we align them with the changing needs and requirements of the market. At the same time, we are in the process of implementing double diploma programs in collaboration with Kedge Business School in France that has been accredited by three preeminent organizations specializing in the assessment of business schools worldwide, namely: AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, and with Goldsmiths, University of London.
The Faculty of Social Sciences in Warsaw is a member of the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN), which connects business schools, universities offering management education, and other institutions worldwide. It fosters the exchange of knowledge and expertise between academia and the business sector. The membership provides us with access to a wealth of resources and insights from international partners. The membership also facilitates joint research and training initiatives and helps us enrich our study programs with a global perspective.

Responsibility

We develop the potential of a modern University by embedding academic work and activities in daily operations of businesses, public institutions and NGOs. Meeting the needs of the contemporary challenging job market, we focus on systemic consequences of actions, which extend beyond the particular short-term interests, and take into consideration the needs of the whole ecosystem.

Support for students with disabilities

SWPS University offers a number of scholarships, including a special scholarship for students with disabilities. We ensure that students with special needs have access to assistants and specialized equipment. For students who find it hard to adapt to university life, we offer free psychological consultations.
