The program is open mainly to students who obtained at least an undergraduate degree in economics at Polish or
another EU university or its equivalent in the case of those who obtained their degrees outside the EU. However,
students with other backgrounds, especially those with mathematical skills, are also invited to apply. Students
who did not major in economics but have some background in economics, mathematics and statistics may apply for an
extension year to make up for deficiencies by taking selected undergraduate courses. The extra year is subject to a
standard annual tuition fee.
