Verified against official sources · last checked September 2026 · see sources

SGH runs a single annual intake with one main admission round, not rolling rounds across the year. For the 2026/27 cycle, online registration in the Internet Registration System opened on 9 June 2026 and the main round for full-time English-taught programmes closed on 23 July 2026. SGH then opened a supplementary round for the same autumn start, with registration running 27 August to 12 September 2026, offer letters to be accepted by 17 September and original documents submitted by 25 September — so a candidate who missed the main window still has a route into this intake rather than waiting a full cycle. Because both windows sit inside a single annual intake, the binding constraints for international applicants are these registration deadlines and the time needed afterwards for a Polish student visa or residence permit. Always confirm the current cycle's exact dates on SGH's admissions schedule, and map them against your other targets on our deadline tracker.

SGH Warsaw School of Economics runs 2 application rounds . Earlier rounds generally carry higher acceptance odds and earlier scholarship visibility.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the SGH Master's in International Business cost?
About €2,400 per semester for 2026/27 — roughly €9,600 across the two-year, four-semester programme — paid in euros, with a small surcharge (about €490 per instalment) if you spread a semester over five monthly payments. That is a public-university fee and a fraction of the €30,000–€45,000 charged by the top private Western-European MiMs, and Warsaw's lower living costs add to the saving. SGH charges the same rate for its other English-taught masters apart from the ACCA-track finance degree. Confirm the current per-semester figure and the small application fee on SGH's own fees table, as tuition changes each cycle.
Do you need the GMAT for the SGH Master's in International Business?
No. SGH admits to this master through an online application and document review, not a GMAT or GRE. You need a completed bachelor's degree — economics, management, law, engineering and related fields are all welcome — and proof of advanced English (FCE/CAE/CPE, TOEFL iBT of at least 72, or IELTS of at least 5.5), waived if you studied in English before. A GMAT can still strengthen a separate CEMS application, but it is not part of SGH's own admission file.
When is the SGH application deadline?
SGH has a single annual intake. For the 2026/27 cycle, online registration opened on 9 June 2026 and the main admission round for full-time English-taught programmes closed on 23 July 2026, with offer-acceptance and original-document steps running into August and September for an autumn start. Because there is only one window a year, plan around that registration deadline and the time you'll then need for a Polish student visa or residence permit. Confirm the exact current-cycle dates on SGH's admissions schedule.

SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e): the published schedule for "Main admission for full-time second-cycle studies in English" has NO examination step — ISR registration 9 June to 23 July 2026, editing deadline 4 August, offer-letter acceptance by 18 August, original documents 21–25 September, with a supplementary round registering 27 August to 12 September.

  • SGH — Admission to graduate studies in English for international applicants. SELECTION CHECKED 2026-09-11 (P24e), and it is the page that makes the no-test tier a SCOPED claim rather than a flat one. The hub lists "Sprawdzian kwalifikacyjny z wiedzy o gospodarce" — a qualifying test in knowledge of the economy — immediately above the description "Test wyłącznie dla kandydatów na studia stacjonarne w języku polskim" (a test only for candidates to full-time studies taught in Polish). The English-language half of the same page routes to ADMISSIONS STEP-BY-STEP, legalisation and eligibility, required documents, English proficiency and the admissions schedule, and its schedule line reads "Deadlines for submitting documents, entrance exam, announcing admission results" — wording that reads as though an exam applies here, which is why the scope is recorded rather than left implicit.
