The Faculty of Business and International Relations carries out research at a high international level and it has now been included among the most prestigious academic centers in Poland. This has been confirmed by the decision of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

We are proud of being included in category A by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. This award places our university among the top research units in Poland, both public and private. I would like to congratulate our scientists for their continued commitment and the scientific research that they carry out. The results they achieve reach a very high international level and constitute a useful tool for business. It is, moreover, valuable information for our students. “Each year, Vistula University confirms its strong position on the Polish education market, not only as an institution educating students, but also as a significant research center” – says the rector of Vistula University, Marek Kulczycki, PhD.
