The word “Uniwersytet” in our Polish name

The change of category is another step in the development of our university. It expresses our broad, universal profile of education and academic activity. We were granted the right to use the word “Uniwersytet” in our Polish name due to the high evaluation results of the WSB-DSW Universities Research Federation in 8 academic disciplines.

How have we been changing?

Friendly and Practical

Our values have remained unchanged for years. They are the foundation on which we have built DSW's success – practicality and friendliness.

Practicality

We are a university where we teach practically.

We identify and create new opportunities for development through continuous cooperation with the socio-economic environment.

We focus on the relevance of the knowledge and skills we teach.

We cooperate with many business partners. Our students have the opportunity to put their knowledge into practice.

We use innovative teaching methods in specially adapted classrooms and laboratories.

We use the latest technological solutions available (laboratories, specially adapted rooms, specialised software, business games and simulations).

Our academic activity has a real impact on the socio-economic environment.

We provide a space for innovation and foster its implementation. Not only by launching start-ups but also by incorporating the solutions into everyday working life.

Our curricula address current trends and needs in the labour market.

We develop them in cooperation with the Consultative Council of Employers, which includes a number of Lower Silesian companies and institutions.

We provide a space for the exchange of experience, skills and knowledge.

We are open to change both in terms of the ways in which we teach and in terms of shaping a friendly environment.

We run interdisciplinary and international research projects.

Bringing together experiences and people from different fields (e.g. business, science, humanities) allows us to innovate.

Friendliness

We offer a broad education profile with many programmes of study.

We are a member of the WSB-DSW Research Federation. Our academic activity embraces many fields.

We are open to change.

We listen and respond to the needs of our students, graduates, employees and the companies we work with by systematically conducting satisfaction surveys.

We foster a friendly environment conducive to combining work with learning and development.

We provide education in such a way that combining work and study is possible not only on part-time, post-diploma programmes, but also on full-time programmes in all educational profiles.

We take care of good organisation and administrative services.

We help students to deal with all the formalities efficiently. We offer hybrid, traditional or online programmes of study.

We have a flexible system of tuition payments.

It is the student who decides when and how they want to pay their tuition fees.

Our students and staff treat each other as partners.

Our expert lecturers, staff and students can share their experiences.
