What Lazarski University does

Lazarski University is a private higher education institution founded in 1993 and headquartered in Warsaw's Mokotów district (ul. Świeradowska 43). It operates three faculties — Economics and Management, Law and Administration, and Medicine — and serves a horizontal mix of high school graduates, graduate students, working professionals, and medical students through bachelor's, master's, long-cycle master's, doctoral, postgraduate, MBA, and LL.M. programs. It also runs a Foreign Language Centre and a pro-bono Student Legal Clinic.

The university's core technology stack is a Coursera-based educational platform providing free student access to over 600 online courses from Google, Microsoft, IBM, Meta, and ADP. Pedagogical differentiators include Problem-Based Learning (PBL), business simulation games, and PRINCE2/Agile PM certification preparation. Specialized offerings include aviation law and air traffic management programs supported by Polish LOT Airlines, Polish Aviation Group, and ICAO TrainAir Plus; a Sports Management specialization with Brand24 and Senuto analytics access; and an AI in Business / Cybersecurity in Business Master's track. International reach is delivered through validated dual-degree programs with the University of Westminster (UK) and the International Executive School (Strasbourg), Erasmus+ exchanges, and English-taught programs targeted at international students.

Lazarski's revenue model is direct-to-consumer tuition billed per semester or annually, with pricing varying by program type, study mode (full-time vs. part-time), and language of instruction (Polish vs. English). Ancillary revenue streams include postgraduate/MBA executive education, language courses, professional certifications, and corporate training. Marketing is multi-channel: open days, education fairs, social media, English-language virtual events, secondary-school partnerships, and a referral program offering up to 30% tuition discounts. The university has not disclosed financials publicly; revenue is generated primarily from tuition fees, supplemented by EU/NAWA project grants (e.g., 674,225 PLN in 2017 and 145,500 PLN in 2023) for internationalization and staff development initiatives.
