About
History
- In 1882, thanks to the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, industry and the Cracow congregation of merchants, the Municipal School of Trade was established
- In 1924 the Institute of Commodities was established at the Higher Trade School and a two-year commodity studies program was begun. This gave rise to the Higher College of Trade (HCT) in 1925
Education
The 4 faculties of the CUE – Economics and International Relations, Finance, Commodity Science, and Management – offer 24 different degree courses and 59 study majors, taught in the Polish language.
It is possible to complete the entire degree programme – whether Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctoral – in the English language. These programmes are offered on a full-time and part-time basis.
In addition to degree courses, the CUE offers short term, non-degree programmes, such as the “English Track”, often chosen by: exchange students who join the CUE for one or two semesters, Polish students who want to experience studying in an international environment, or professionals who want to upgrade their skills.

I am satisfied with the university. It is placed in a beautiful city. The campus is located in the centre, so everything is close and you do not have to commute much. Students are very friendly. There are many organizations, for example, Erasmus Student Network UEK, Independent Students' Association where you can meet many people and join various projects.

It was a useful experience, I learned the rules of accounting and its continuation, which I had no idea before, and I hope to improve my scientific level in accounting and finance by obtaining a master's degree.
