What Executive SGH-WUM MBA w ochronie zdrowia does

Executive SGH-WUM MBA w ochronie zdrowia is a joint two-year Executive Master of Business Administration postgraduate program in healthcare management, co-delivered by Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) and the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM). Established in 2016 with the first cohort launching in November 2017, it is positioned as the first public-university MBA in Poland focused exclusively on the healthcare sector. The program is delivered in Polish in a weekend format (Friday afternoons and Saturdays) and consists of approximately 672 total instruction hours across four modules — Leadership, Management, Economics and Finance, and Healthcare Sector Transformation (updated post-pandemic to include an Innovations in Health submodule) — organized into 26 thematic blocks. Teaching follows the Harvard case study method combined with a Learning by Doing pedagogy, drawing on faculty from both universities and external practitioners including senior healthcare executives and policy experts. The program holds AMBA international accreditation (top 2% of MBA programs worldwide) and is ranked #1 in Poland for healthcare manager education by Menedżer Zdrowia.

The program's go-to-market combines a formal recruitment process managed through the official WUM Postgraduate Education Center (Centrum Kształcenia Podyplomowego) with a dedicated qualification interview, targeting working healthcare professionals with at least three years of management experience. Revenue is generated primarily through commercial tuition — 54,900 PLN for the IX edition (2026), payable in four semester installments of 13,725 PLN each, plus a 300 PLN entry fee — with cohort sizes of approximately 28-30 participants per cycle. A separate revenue stream comes from the Edycja MZ (Ministry of Health Edition), a closed specialized program won via competitive tender in 2019 to train managing staff of healthcare entities subordinate to the Polish Ministry of Health, financed under the EU-funded Akademia Menadżera project. The program has run through nine editions (I-IX), with the current IX edition opening recruitment in March 2026 for a September/October 2026 launch. Customer segments span healthcare facility managers, medical personnel in leadership transitions, public administration staff, pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies, and healthcare-specialized lawyers, served through institutional channels, a LinkedIn presence, university networks, and direct government procurement.

• WUM Postgraduate Education Center Programs: The Medical University of Warsaw's own postgraduate programs, run by the same Centrum Kształcenia Podyplomowego that administers the SGH-WUM program. Offers competing shorter postgraduate diplomas in healthcare topics to the same customer base.
• MBA-SGH (Warsaw School of Economics General Executive MBA): The general Executive MBA at SGH, run by the same partner university and led by Prof. Rafał Mrówka who also sits on the SGH-WUM Partners Council.
