East-Europe: time to decide
Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:36 AM
My choice is now restricted to these schools:
- Warsaw University of Technology Business School
- Warsaw School of Economics (CEMBA)

Even if with my profile I could get into top schools in Western Europe, I would like to do an MBA in Poland and get contacts and network there.

What are your final comments advises?

Interesting choice. If I were you I would choose Warsaw University of Technology Business School- has better reputation and partnership - excellent London Business School (wow!) and HEC. CEMBA's partner school seems not to be weel known. How did you get to know about Polish programmes. Maybe it would be good idea for me?

I saw in the Polish rankings. According the them these are the best, together with the EMBA offered by Warsaw University/University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

Are you interested to do an MBA in Poland too? Where are you from?

Thanks! It is not a right moment for me yet, but this direction would be intersting for me (I know that polish economy is in good condition dispite of crisis). I live in Paris now :)

Ok, well, it is a big challenge, I would like to switch career and find out some opportunities in Poland, as I see there and in east europe many opportunities coming up. Business School there are new though, and only a little internationally recognized, even if up and coming I believe. Better then find out which programs have a good reputation locally (the ones I have listed).

Hi muzzi,

I have a question for you - do you speak polish? - if not, a word of warning: although English is an international language, and most polish business man understand it, it would be quite hard getting a good job on the local market without talking the local language, especially since there would surly be other native speakers who also speak English competing on the job. this is true to all the eastern block.

so, i guess its time to go and polish your polish :-)

"this is true to all the eastern block."

sure, but I guess this is true everywhere! it is not easy to get a job in Italy if you don't speak Italian, in France if you don't speak French, in Germany if you don't speak German...

yes, but polish is notoriously difficult! try reading this laud: Co zrobiliście - this means what have you done. can really brake ones teeth....and this is a simple one.
