Written examinations in subjects included in programme blocks take place at the end of a semester. Their results constitute at least 50% of the overall student's mark. The criteria employed for the evaluation are the same as those used by the Western Schools, in their own postgraduate programmes. This assures all interested parties that the holders of an MBA from the Warsaw University of Technology Business School are in possession of a postgraduate management qualification fully comparable in content and excellence with those of a similar duration given by the three Partner Schools.
