Institute of Human Capital
The Institute serves as a bridge between academia and the worlds of business and public administration. On the one hand, we provide practitioners (representatives of business, central and local administration, NGOs, labor market institutions, and education market institutions) with up-to-date knowledge and managerial skills. On the other hand, we present students with the latest good practices drawn from our cooperation with these environments. For years, we have carried out in-depth research on various aspects of human capital management, and our leading partner is the Polish HR Association. Recognition of the Institute staff’s expertise and competencies is reflected in strong interest in our highly rated postgraduate programs, including:
Postgraduate Studies: Psychology of Management for Managers
Managerial Postgraduate Studies - Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Partnership
Postgraduate Studies: Information Security Management
Manager of Medical Devices Quality Management System
The Institute offers three interdisciplinary specializations: Interpersonal Competencies in Business, Business Trainer, and Business Negotiations. Institute faculty members regularly receive positive evaluations for classes taught in full-time and part-time programs, and many have appeared in SGH’s TOP 10 list of highest-rated lecturers in recent years.
