Reasons to study Project Management at UTA

Universal skills valued in every industry

The ability to effectively manage projects is valuable in almost every field – from IT and finance to culture and education. In large companies, project managers are responsible for implementing new technologies and managing teams of specialists. In non-governmental organizations, efficient planning and execution of initiatives allow for optimal use of budgets and reaching a larger number of beneficiaries.

The opportunity to work worldwide

International project management standards apply in many countries, providing broad career development opportunities. In global corporations, project managers oversee complex processes that require collaboration with teams from different continents. In the construction or manufacturing sectors, skillful coordination of activities allows for optimal resource use and timely completion of investments.

Preparation for a leadership role

Project management is not only about controlling budgets and schedules, but also about motivating the team, solving problems, and making strategic decisions. In technology companies, project leaders must combine analytical skills with the ability to work with people to effectively implement new solutions. In the healthcare sector, project coordinators manage clinical research, which impacts the effectiveness of introducing innovative therapies.

The opportunity to run your own business

The studies provide a solid foundation for managing not only projects in companies but also your own business. Entrepreneurs who understand the principles of planning, risk, and process optimization have a greater chance of success. In the events industry, effective management of schedules and budgets determines the success of organized events, from music festivals to industry conferences.

Continuous development and broad promotion opportunities

The Project Management specialization allows for career development at various levels – from junior specialist to team leader, and even to operations director. In consulting firms, experienced project managers advise clients on how to effectively implement their business strategies. In public administration, well-managed projects can significantly improve the quality of services for citizens, such as in the areas of digitalization or urban infrastructure.

Admission rules

Conditions for admission to the Master's degree program in Management:

In order to begin second-cycle (Master’s) studies in Management, you must meet the following requirement:

Hold a diploma of completion of at least a first-cycle (Bachelor’s) degree program (full qualifications at Level 6 of the Polish Qualifications Framework are required).

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS:

1. A completed and generated university questionnaire from the online recruitment system.
2. The original and a photocopy of the secondary school leaving certificate (original for verification; a certified copy is not considered a photocopy). The matura certificate is the most important document required for enrollment.
3. National ID card (for verification purposes only).
4. One recent and signed photograph on a white background, taken from the front, in 3.5 x 4.5 cm format. If in doubt, it is best to ask a photographer to take a photo with the same parameters as those required for an ID card.
5. The original and a photocopy of a higher education diploma along with the original and a photocopy of the diploma supplement (we do not require the secondary school certificate or high school graduation certificate). These documents are also required from WSEiZ/ATA graduates applying for second-cycle (Master’s) studies.
6. Proof of payment of recruitment fees. If the payments are made through your recruitment account, they should be immediately visible in our system. Nevertheless, it is advisable to have a confirmation available (you do not need to print it – sending a file by email or presenting it at the Rector’s Office on a mobile device is sufficient).
