Admission schedule
The last day of registration is also your deadline for paying the application fee.
Please note that if you wish to study at SGH, do not delay your application after you have defended your thesis! Even if your thesis defence is scheduled for July or early August, you should register in the Internet Registration System as soon as possible – you will be required to provide the diploma (or a certificate of completion of studies) only once you are qualified for admission.
Step 2 - Qualification procedure - Admissions to studies in Polish.
- Qualification criteria for full-time studies in Polish – admission on terms applicable to SGH alumni
-
In case of admission on terms applicable for SGH alumni, the qualifying procedure is based on the grade average (accurate to two decimal places) This admission mode can be chosen by the applicant only once and is available only to:
- current SGH students, who have obtained at least 180 ECTS points and, simultaneously, obtained at least 3.5 grade average from subjects passed in the course of the completed semesters of studies;
- graduates of the first-cycle studies at SGH, who have obtained at least 3.5 grade average in the course of studies and received a professional title of bachelor from SGH Warsaw School of Economics between 1 October 2022 and 14 July 2023.
At the stage of registration, SGH students must choose between the two admission modes available as simultaneous application based on both modes is not allowed. In case of being qualified to studies, applicants who chose admission on terms applicable for SGH alumni are required to submit the diploma of graduating the first cycle degree studies at SGH Warsaw School of Economics, the average from which constituted basis for qualification. Candidates who have started their admission on the basis of diploma of graduating the first cycle studies at SGH obtained after 1 October 2019 are exempt from the obligation to submit their SGH diploma. In this case, we particularly encourage you to submit the application form through the ISR.
- Qualification criteria for full-time studies in Polish – general admission
-
The remaining applicants to full-time studies in Polish are required to take the entrance exam that constitutes the sole basis for qualification in this admission mode. The exam aims to verify one’s knowledge of economics and economics-related linguistic competence (the language to be tested in the exam is declared by each applicant in the Internet Registration System). The exam consists of three modules, two of which are obligatory to every applicant (depending on the selected programme).

Applicants who have not been qualified for any of their study preferences or have been qualified for a study preference other than their highest one have the right to declare their intention to participate in the next admission round by clicking the button “I want to participate in the next admission round.” There are no additional fees associated with such declaration.
Applicants who have not been qualified to any of their study preferences and wish to participate in the next admission round, providing it is launched, should declare their intention through the Internet Registration System.
Keep in mind that even if you were admitted to a programme which is not your first preference, you should submit your documents anyway if you wish to participate in the second round of admission.
You should also declare it in through the Internet Registration System.
If you do not deliver the documents before the deadline or click on “I want to participate in the next admission round” online, your application will be cancelled.
Applicants who are not qualified for one of the higher study preferences in the additional admission round, will remain on the list of applicants admitted to the programme or form of study, for which they submitted their documents. The applicants qualified for a higher study preference will be automatically moved to the relevant study programme.
