About the Major

The courses on the Project Management major are conducted by experienced lecturers from Kozminski University and project management practitioners with rich and documented experience in directing large projects. Faculty-practitioners are not only members of the Project Management Institute and other accredited project management practitioners associations. Our lecturers also have a rich portfolio of coaching, advisory and research experiences, so we can safely say that the world of project management has no secrets ahead of us. The program has been consulted with a wide range of experts and employers and we constantly update it by including a lot of new research into the classes. We also learn from various trainings and conferences. We also like to work together, which makes the good atmosphere in class allow you to assimilate knowledge in a comfortable way.

Please be advised that the major will launch only if a minimum amount of 17 students sign up for the major.

A word from the major's leader

Marek Gmerski, MA

There are more and more projects around us. As so, people, who can ensure success or prevent failure, are in constant high demand. Who actually might that be? You probably think of managers with a knack to improvise in the first place. But the list is long, including business analysts, accountants, consultants, let alone C-level management. Every project is a phenomenon that just needs to be taken care of by many. A small project is also a common first management assignment for promising but inexperienced to-be managers.

Advanced knowledge and walked-through skills in the project management area are our key concerns. Interested? Apply now!
