What would be your advice for the SGH students, especially international ones, dreaming about own company?
I would advise them to work hard (effectively) to see that dream come true. Seek help any time they feel it needed and learn through the process until they achieve their goals.
Valuable lesson to share with SGH students (resulting from success, failure or different experience).
You don’t not need to have a very clear picture of the business you want to do. Just start working on vague idea you have. A clear picture will come out as time comes.
Ivan Shema -Alumnus of International Business at Warsaw School of Economics (Master of Arts grade in 2017)

My undergraduate studies at SGH, a highly reputed international university, were the first steps for me to discover the path to the success of my career. I managed to concretize my passion for diplomacy through the concrete opportunities this university offered me, through direct contacts with senior officials, conferences, student internships. Student life at SGH is an excellent opportunity to be active and create different networks and interpersonal contacts, whereby you have the opportunity to develop. If you believe you have the ability to understand different cultures and the ability to build bridges of communication then SGH helps you develop and materialize this passion in the field of international relations.
