About the SGH Warsaw School of Economics

The SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie) is one of Poland’s leading business universities. With around 10,000 students, it offers a vibrant and academically challenging environment. Each year, about 500 international exchange students come to SGH to benefit from its wide range of English-taught courses and a well-organized incoming programme that includes orientation days and a buddy system.

SGH stands for academic excellence, strong international connections, and practice-oriented teaching. For students from Germany, it is the perfect opportunity to experience business and management from a Central European perspective — in a country that has become one of Europe’s most dynamic economies in recent years.

Warsaw itself is a fascinating mix of old and new: historical landmarks and charming old town streets stand side by side with modern skyscrapers, trendy cafés, and a lively cultural scene. The city is young, international, and full of energy — an ideal place to study, make new friends, and discover Europe from a fresh perspective.

A semester at SGH therefore means not only academic development, but also intercultural experiences, personal growth, and an unforgettable time in one of Europe’s most exciting capital cities.

Accommodation: Like many other Erasmus students, I discovered my shared apartment on OLX, a polish EBay. I lived in a shared apartment in Muranow. I spend about 350€ each month and it took me only 15 minutes to get to the university by tram. 
Activity and more: I particularly suggest visiting Gdansk, Zakopane, Krakow and Riga. The Erasmus network hosts an “Orientation Week” at the start of the semester abroad, which I strongly advise going to, It’s a wonderful chance to network with lots of new people and learn about Warsaw.
