Management at WSB Merito University in Gdańsk is a six-semester bachelor's programme taught in English. It is aimed at school-leavers who want to learn how teams, sales and projects work inside a business and who like the idea of working in an international setting.
The programme begins with the foundations of running a company. Early classes cover economics, the principles of management, marketing, and the basics of law and psychology, so you see a business from several angles at once. A course on effective study methods and on writing project papers helps you settle into academic work quickly.
Later the focus moves to practical management. You study enterprise management, corporate finance, human resource management and quantitative methods, then add social communication and sales techniques. Along the way you learn how to motivate people and build a productive working environment, how to plan projects and write business plans, and how to turn data into reports that support decisions. Professional business communication is practised in English as well as Polish.
Two specialisations are on offer: International Business, and International Business – BA Business and Management Top-Up with University of Northampton.
Teaching leans on practice. You work in groups on real business problems, make decisions in market simulations, analyse case studies of actual situations and hear from practitioners who work in the field. Current digital tools are part of the classes, and work placements sit in the study plan. At the end you write a team diploma project and defend it before a committee, while the direction of the project is yours to choose.
