Accreditations
Which graduate or MBA student – from any country in the world – does not know what an AMBA is?
An MBA study programme with AMBA accreditation ranks both the graduates and the programme itself much higher than those without such accreditation, because the AMBA certification validates high quality of the learning outcomes.
The Association of Masters In Business Administration – a London-based international organisation dating back to 1967 – has awarded its accreditation to 200 schools in 70 countries. In Poland, only five universities have achieved this. The MBA programme conducted at the Faculty of Management and Economy of the Gdańsk University of Technology is the fifth such school, and importantly, the youngest. AMBA accreditation is given to a university with graduates from at least three consecutive years, and our programme is only eight years old so this is a great achievement. The MBA programme of the Faculty of Management and Economy at GUT is the only one on the northern Poland coast to have received this accreditation.

The Only University of Technology in Poland
The MBA programmes that apply to receive such accreditation must meet a number of formal criteria, such as the abovementioned number of years that they have graduated students, the number of students per group, professional experience of the students measured in years, university facilities; and also those criteria that are uncountable but important, such as the quality and level of classes, the degree of internationalization, or interesting career paths of the graduates.
The accreditation is not awarded forever – the Association monitors all its programmes and requires verification in subsequent years. The accreditation makes it possible to participate in international rankings of programmes, which in turn pertains to further internationalization both of the MBA programme and the university.
The AMBA Commission has particularly appreciated the uniqueness of the MBA programmes offered by the Faculty of Management and Economy: all programmes are our own programmes. Each course has been specially designed and developed and is well-established at the university. The courses include international lectures, varied teaching methods (a combination of theoretical knowledge and case study analysis), a professional admissions process and the tremendous commitment of the faculty staff and programme management team. The close connection between the programme, the business environment and entrepreneurs is considered an important asset. The success of the MBA programme is a success story from the Faculty itself but also another reason to be proud of the Gdańsk University of Technology.

MBA Values
We are committed to following our core values in daily activities. We are convinced and experienced that they state measures of MBA success. Through them, we create value for other companies, societies and humanities.
Mind stimulation
- Intellectual commitment
- Thinking out of the box
- Fluency of ideas
- Critical thinking
- Problem-solving
We make it clear that our MBA programme is intellectually challenging. Our offer combines the advantages of both an academic and a practical programme. Meeting inspiring academicians who produce knowledge by conducting research is an opportunity to learn about the latest models and critically reflect on the operation of organisations. Classes taught by business practitioners provide an opportunity to exchange interesting cases and generate many creative solutions in response to problems that arise in modern organisations.
Adaptability
- Agility
- New ideas-openness
- Entrpreneurship
- Sustainability
- Courage to change the world
Our MBA graduates are ready to operate in an ever-changing environment. Throughout the programme, they acquire the knowledge of how to act agilely, how to realise business excellence and at the same time be an entrepreneurial manager or business owner. We invite you to learn more about modern technologies and ask how you can use them to improve your companies’ processes. We promote startup solutions that emerge from Capstone Projects. We make sure that the solutions proposed by our course participants always take into account the principles of sustainability.
Resilience
- Self-awarness
- Curiosity
- Creativity
- Fun & passion
- Taking up challenges
We are seeking passionate, knowledge-hungry and committed people already in the recruitment process because we know that. We start the programme with a Managerial Talent Diagnosis; our students learn about the strengths of their operating style but also identify areas which require further development. This directs their curiosity towards specific areas of business knowledge. They face challenges such as: solving complex managerial problems, creating strategies and resolving conflicts. This ensures that they are ready to face the demanding reality in which we operate today.
Beautiful Relations
- A collaborative attitude
- Knowledge sharing
- Diversity
- Internationalisation
- Social commitment
We emphasise learning through teamwork and motivate students to exchange their experiences and opinions during credit projects and case-studies. We believe that thanks to the diversity of our groups (different cultures, different economic sectors, different ways of thinking about business), the relationships we build throughout the course of our studies are a huge added value of the MBA. Through the themes and scope of team-based Capstone Projects, we sensitise the participants to the needs of their local communities.
