Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions.
Undergraduate (bachelor’s) studies

How can I enrol in a bachelor’s degree programme?
All you need to do is pass your secondary school final exams in the four subjects listed below:

  • Category I: mathematics or physics;
  • Category II: physics, computer science, geography, history, civics, economics;
  • Category III: foreign language – English, German, Russian, French, Spanish, or Italian;
  • Category IV: second foreign language – English, German, Russian, French, Spanish, or Italian.

Then register in the Internet Registration System. Remember that not having a result in a given subject category does not disqualify you from participating in the admission process at SGH – you simply do not receive qualification points for the specific category.

What field of study should I choose?
In Polish bachelor’s programmes, the field of study is chosen at the end of the first year (second semester). There is plenty of time to familiarise yourself with the detailed offer available programmes. Programmes in English are implemented in their entirety from the beginning of the first year, both in the case of bachelor and master’s programmes.

How many points can I get for advanced subjects in the admission process?
You may receive a maximum of 100 points for each of them. Therefore, you can get a maximum of 300 points for all three categories.
 
I am taking subjects at the basic level. Will I get points for them during the admissions process?
You can take a second foreign language at the basic or advanced level. For such a subject taken on the basic level, you may receive a maximum of 33 points. The rest of the subjects must be taken at the advanced level.

I am taking one foreign language at two levels – basic and advanced. Do they count as two separate languages in the admission process?
You have to pass two different foreign languages in the final exams, one of which can be at a basic level.

What subjects can I register as my first and second International Baccalaureate subjects?
First subject to choose from: Mathematical Studies, Mathermatics, and Further Mathematics (valid until 2020) or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation (valid from 2021) or Physics. Second subject to choose from: Business Management, Computer Science, Economics, Geography, History or Physics.

Will there be an entrepreneurship knowledge test (WOP) for full-time bachelor’s degree studies for the 2026/27 academic year?

Graduate (master’s) studies

How can I get into a master’s programme?
Full-time studies in Polish:

  • Admission through open recruitment. If you graduated from a university other than SGH or are SGH’s graduate from previous years, you can only participate in the admission process on the basis of the results of WOG exam – a qualifying test verifying candidates’ economic knowledge and economics-oriented foreign language proficiency.
  • Admission through grade point average-based recruitment. As part of the admission process of SGH first-cycle graduates (full-time, part-time afternoon or part-time Saturday-Sunday), the following may be admitted for the first time in this mode:
  1. SGH students who have obtained at least 180 ECTS points and at the same time achieved a grade point average of at least 3.5 for all courses completed during their finished semesters of study
  2. SGH first-cycle graduates who have achieved a grade point average of at least 3.5 and obtained a bachelor’s degree at SGH between October 1, 2025, and July 21, 2026.

If you meet the admission requirements based on your grade point average but believe that you have a better chance of being admitted through the open recruitment admission process, you may decide to do so until the registration deadline.

Part-time studies in Polish and full-time studies in English:
The qualification criterion for part-time studies in Polish (except for Advanced Analytics – Big Data, and Quantitative Methods in Economics and Information Systems) and full-time studies in English is the order of application, which is understood as the date and time of joining the appropriate enrolment (selecting the level of studies) in Internet Registration System.

The admission criterion for part-time Advanced Analytics – Big Data, and Quantitative Methods in Economics and Information Systems is the result of WOG exam – a qualifying test verifying candidates’ economic knowledge and economics-oriented foreign language proficiency.

Please bear in mind that the order of applications for part-time studies in Polish and full-time studies in English is determined on the basis of the time of joining the appropriate enrolment in the Internet Registration System and not factors such as the time of making the application fee payment, uploading your photo, or filling in the required tabs.
