Kozminski University – ranked as the best business school in Central and Eastern Europe by the prestigious Financial Times – has signed a cooperation agreement with Coursera, one of the world’s largest and most renowned educational platforms.
This partnership aligns with the university’s long-term strategy focused on the digital transformation of the educational process, the integration of new technologies, and active support for students, alumni, and academic staff in developing practical, globally recognized professional competencies.
Career Academy: future-ready certificates on a single platform Under the agreement, Kozminski University will launch access for its community to Coursera Career Academy – a comprehensive career development platform that combines academic knowledge with practical skills valued on the job market. The program offers professional certificates issued by industry leaders such as Google, IBM, Meta, Salesforce, SAP, and Intuit. Courses are available in a flexible online learning format, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The solution will be available not only to students from all academic programs – from law to management, from finance to business psychology – but also to alumni and faculty members. For the latter group, the partnership also offers the opportunity to integrate selected Coursera content into academic curricula and to use Coursera’s proprietary AI-based tool for course creation (Course Builder). As part of the collaboration, the university will also gain access to Coursera’s broad catalog of courses and specializations, enriching educational and mentoring pathways.
A strategic investment in the digital transformation of education – Coursera is a partner that enables us to truly connect academic education with the job market. This cooperation allows our students and alumni to obtain certificates that are recognized and valued by top global companies, and it provides our teaching staff with tools for even greater personalization of the learning process, says Prof. Grzegorz Mazurek, Rector of Kozminski University.
The platform will be integrated with the university’s IT system through Single Sign-On and LMS solutions, ensuring intuitive and secure access to resources directly from Kozminski University’s learning portal. Coursera will prepare a dedicated welcome page featuring course recommendations and development pathways tailored to local needs.
– We’re proud to support Kozminski University as it expands access to high-quality, career-relevant learning across Poland and the broader region, says Nikolaz Foucaud, Managing Director, EMEA, Coursera. – By uniting academic excellence with Coursera’s leading content and industry partners, we’re helping more students gain the skills and confidence to succeed in a rapidly changing job market.
