Akademia Humanitas

What Akademia Humanitas does

Akademia Humanitas is a private non-public university headquartered in Sosnowiec, in Poland's Silesian Voivodeship, founded in 1997 and operating across seven campuses in Poland (Sosnowiec HQ, Gliwice, Katowice, Rybnik, Lublin) and the Czech Republic (Prague, Vsetín). It delivers higher education across eight scientific institutes — Law, Management & Quality, Security, Health Sciences, Pedagogy, Psychology, and Computer Science — through first-cycle (bachelor's), second-cycle (master's), single-cycle integrated master's, postgraduate, MBA (including Executive MBA in Healthcare), and doctoral seminar pathways. Specialized offerings include a School of Psychotherapy in the Solution-Focused approach, the first-in-Poland Clinical and Forensic Sexology postgraduate program with Polish Sexological Society endorsement, and a catalog of short professional training courses in psychodiagnostics (ADOS-2, MMPI-2, SCID-5), cybersecurity, and civil defense, alongside an EU-funded free-skills program ('Kompetencje przyszłości na rynku pracy').

The technology stack is built on a Moodle-based Virtual University (with Polish and Ukrainian language versions) and the Wirtualna Uczelnia portal for course delivery, grading, and student services, supplemented by video conferencing for webinars and a LanguageCert-authorized English certification testing infrastructure. The university also operates a market research and consulting arm (Centrum Badań i Ekspertyz Rynkowych, CBiER) and a lifelong-learning University of the Third Age, and reaches secondary-school students through the Sieć Współpracy Edukacyjnej (Educational Cooperation Network) and Erasmus+ exchange partnerships.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition for degree and postgraduate programs, supplemented by premium-priced MBA and Executive MBA cohorts, fee-based short courses and professional training, EU-grant-funded free training, market research/consulting services, and ancillary services (LanguageCert exams with a 10% student discount). Customer segments span high-school graduates (primary), graduate students, working professionals, senior learners, and corporate/local-government training clients. The institution is privately held with no disclosed parent, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and is ranked #1 in Psychology and #2 overall among non-public universities in Silesian Voivodeship (Dziennik Gazeta Prawna / Rzeczpospolita).
