What Studia Executive MBA "Zarządzanie Cyberbezpieczeństwem i Usługami Cyfrowymi" does

The Executive MBA "Zarządzanie Cyberbezpieczeństwem i Usługami Cyfrowymi" is a postgraduate executive education program operated by the Faculty of Command and Naval Operations (Wydział Dowodzenia i Operacji Morskich) at the Polish Naval Academy (Akademia Marynarki Wojennej) in Gdynia. Launched in 2021, the program was co-developed with the Cyber Defense Forces Component Command, CyberMBA Association, ISSA Polska, and Fundacja Bezpieczna Cyberprzestrzeń, and holds the distinction of being the first MBA program in the European Union registered in the ENISA CYBERHEAD database. It targets senior managers from Poland's armed forces, Key Entity Operators (energy, fuel, pharma, water, ports, airports, banking, telecom), and central administration, with admission requiring at least three years of practical experience in cybersecurity or digital services.

The curriculum spans 256 hours across 16 sessions and 2 semesters (30 ECTS credits), structured around nine thematic blocks covering economics and finance for executives, legal aspects of essential services, IT risk management, modern technologies, organizational improvement methods, incident monitoring and response, and project/service management. Approximately 40 instructors — collectively holding ~1,000 years of professional experience — deliver the program through case-based learning on real national-critical-infrastructure scenarios, culminating in a capstone project in which each student proposes a solution to a concrete cybersecurity problem within their own organization. Delivery is exclusively in-person at the Naval Academy campus in Gdynia, with no remote or hybrid option.

Revenue is generated solely through tuition fees: 24,000 PLN paid in a single installment or 12,500 PLN per semester in two installments, with a 25% discount for armed forces employees. Recruitment operates annually via email-based application to the Naval Academy, with admissions communicated in the first half of September and a minimum-cohort threshold that could suspend individual editions. The program is a public educational initiative under the Polish Ministry of National Defence rather than a commercial enterprise, and is currently recruiting for its VI edition (2026/2027).
