Accreditation

· Ministerial Accreditation - As the only one in the country, the Faculty of Economic Sciences was awarded a prestigious distinction for its curricula in economics by the State Accreditation Committee (a ministerial body carrying out quality control with respect to institutions of higher education). Thus, we feel justified to claim that the curricula we offer to our students are the best in Poland! There are many Polish schools – although by far not all of them – whose economics curricula were recognised by the State Accreditation Committee. However only the one offered at the Warsaw University Faculty of Economic Sciences was awarded the distinction in the course of this process. The State Accreditation Committee has been very restrictive in its decisions (University of Warsaw was awarded such an honour only twice so far), therefore our satisfaction is even greater. The written justification of the award is quite extensive and it will inspire us to further efforts towards applying our successful experience in all other curricula offered by our Faculty.

· UAC Accreditation - University Accreditation Commission has awarded the CRPU Education Quality Certificate to the Faculty of Economic Sciences. The accreditation extends to all its degree programmes for the period of 5 years (maximum accreditation term at UAC). After an auditing visit in March 2003, the UAC evaluation team found that the Faculty of Economic Sciences meets all terms and standards for the accreditation award. University Accreditation Commission is a joint higher education quality assurance measure established by the Conference of Rectors of Polish Universities (CRPU) in view of lack of governmental quality assurance measures in the 1990s. The Commission consists of senior academics of 19 major national universities who serve in auditing teams that on demand evaluate a university's degree programmes.
