2025 at Kozminski University
1) International student achievements
One of the year’s headline highlights was first place in the global final of the CFA Institute Research Challenge 2025 in Chicago – In a competition involving over 7,000 students from 1,153 universities across six continents. The year also saw strong representation of Polish teams in global finals of skills competitions, including The Negotiation Challenge 2025.
2) International quality standards
The Yearbook explains how to read accreditations and rankings as a “quality compass” – and what this means for the student experience, programme development, and the recognition of a degree in the labour market. In 2025, Kozminski University successfully completed the EQUIS re-accreditation and received it again for the maximum period, maintaining the “triple crown” status (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA) held by around 1% of business schools worldwide.
3) Teaching innovation: from AI and e-learning to VR
The publication shows how innovative technologies are used in education – not as an add-on, but as part of students’ working environment (including courses and projects based on AI models, and VR elements). One of the most tangible examples is a project at the College of Law: twenty-two interactive VR films and 45 VR headset sets, enabling students to practice realistic professional scenarios (including interviews, negotiations, court hearings, and mediations).
4) Sustainability: operational action and new programmes
Yearbook 2025 presents an approach “from strategy to implementation”, including Kozminski University’s participation in the European network AERO (Alliance for Environmental Response in Business Schools), focused on the practical side of decarbonising how business schools operate. Among the programme developments, it also features the Sustainable Business (double degree) track within the Bachelor in Management, delivered in cooperation with ESCP Business School.
5) Business partnerships and philanthropy: how it works in practice
The publication presents a collaboration model in which partner support contributes to the endowment and scholarship fund, expanding development opportunities for students in a tangible way. The organisations engaged in scholarship programmes and partnerships include, among others, Koronea Family Office, Grupa Tubądzin, Panattoni together with the Robert Dobrzycki Foundation, and Executive MBA alumni. It also names the University’s Patron (Elemental), Strategic Sponsors (Ergo Hestia, EY, Bank Millennium) and Dantex as a Supporting Sponsor.
