The Faculty of Management

What The Faculty of Management does

The Faculty of Management (Wydział Zarządzania) is a constituent academic faculty of Politechnika Rzeszowska im. Ignacego Łukasiewicza, a public technical university in Rzeszów, Poland. Founded in 1993, the faculty delivers higher-education programs across three levels: first-cycle (bachelor's) and second-cycle (master's) full-time and part-time studies in six directions — Internal Security, Finance and Accounting, Business Process Engineering, Logistics, Management, and the English-language Modern Management program — plus postgraduate and executive education through the Centre for Postgraduate Studies (Centrum Studiów Podyplomowych), including an MBA program currently in its 5th edition and specialized postgraduate tracks in Human Resource Management and Cybersecurity.

The faculty operates on a public-funder-plus-tuition model: state subvention flows to state-funded (stacjonarne) study positions for Polish and EU citizens, while fee-based (niestacjonarne) programs, postgraduate courses, and the MBA generate tuition revenue. Recruitment is delivered via the university's Internet Recruitment System, Open Days, the Careers Office (Biuro Karier PRz), and student research circles. The technology stack supporting delivery includes the USOS academic management system, the APD (Archiwum Prac Dyplomowych) diploma archive, and the JSA (Jednolity System Antyplagiatowy) anti-plagiarism system, with MS Teams for student communications. In 2026 the faculty instituted a mandatory GenAI usage declaration form (Annex No. 2) for diploma theses.

The faculty serves prospective undergraduate and graduate students from Poland and internationally, working professionals seeking MBA or postgraduate credentials, and research-active students engaged in student scientific circles and competitions. It maintains a Business Council (Rada Biznesu przy WZ), an alumni LinkedIn group, and partnerships including the Fundacja Rozwoju Politechniki Rzeszowskiej. Recognition includes a top-10 finish in the 2026 Akademickie Mistrzostwa Menedżerskie among 384 teams from 121 universities, success at INTARG 2026, and consistent high placements in the Perspektywy national ranking.
