Governance of Organizations (GOO) is an innovative and interdisciplinary course for students interested in acquiring unique knowledge and skills in the area of leadership and management of organizations. Global and digital organizations are increasingly seeking employees with interdisciplinary skills and a strong set of soft competences. The GOO undergraduate program is designed to equip you with precisely these qualities, preparing you for employment in a diverse array of organizations, both in the public and private sectors. Alternatively, it serves as an excellent foundation for furthering your education through second-cycle studies.

The GOO course also offers additional guidance for high school graduates who may still be exploring their future career paths. By integrating various scientific disciplines and delving into their unique methodologies, the program provides an opportunity for students to make well-informed decisions about their career paths.

The interdisciplinary study program is divided into three groups of subjects in the areas:

political science and administration,
law,
communication and media

Additional classes are offered to develop soft skills, such as project-based work, management of conflicts, argumentation skills, public speaking, the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and many more.

The language of instruction is English. Moreover, the curriculum envisages an intensive course in a foreign language (preferably German) up to B2 level.

The teaching period begins on October 14, 2024.

Selection procedure

Elements of selection procedure	Max points	Weight of element	Max result
1) grades on the Matura certificate	100	1	100
Maximum number of points to be scored during the selection procedure			100

Rules of computing Matura exam results

Mode I

applies to candidates who took the so-called "new Matura exam" (secondary school final exams), IB or secondary school final exam abroad

Group	Subject	Level	Weight	Number of subjects from a group taken into consideration
1	modern foreign language (part written)	basic	0.50	1 max. 70 pts
1	modern foreign language (part written)	extended	0.70	1 max. 70 pts

2	civics (part written)	basic	0.10	1 max. 30 pts
	civics (part written)	extended	0.30
	history (part written)	basic	0.10
	history (part written)	extended	0.30

				max. 100 pts

Mode I: additional information on calculation of results

If the results of the Matura exam are given on the Matura certificate as a percentage, they are converted into points according to the rule 1% = 1 point.
In case a candidate does not have a grade in the subject/level indicated in the admission rules, they receive 0 score for that subject/level.
If the Polish language is taken into account in the admission rules, in the absence of the Polish language, the native language of the country where the high school leaving examination is taken is considered for Polish citizens who graduated from high school abroad and foreigners who have a foreign high school leaving certificate.
The bilingual Matura exam result for a modern foreign language is calculated as an extended level Matura exam multiplied by 4/3 (however, no more than 100%).
For graduates from schools belonging to the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB), to whom mode I applies, the results of the Matura exam are calculated into percentages of the new Matura exam in accordance with the rules given in the tables below:

IB new Matura

Standard Level
(points) basic level

The method of computing scores from foreign documents is indicated in Table. In the case of countries other than those listed in the Table, the scores from the required subjects are computed proportionally to the percentages of the extended level of the "new Matura exam", taking into account the grading scale used in the country where the document was issued – the maximum grade on the foreign document corresponds to 100% of the Polish Matura exam, and the lowest grade on the foreign document corresponds to 30% of the Polish Matura exam.
