Film about the German-Polish Programme:
"The German-Polish double degree programme offered by ESB in conjunction with Jagiellonian University in Krakow (one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe) is another milestone in the 30-year development of bi-national double degree business programmes."
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stephan Höfer
Programme Leader
"I would like to encourage you to study at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. Our university was founded in 1364. Many students, firstly from the whole of Europe (especially in the 16th century) and later from the whole world have studied here. This tradition should be continued in the future. You can expect in Krakow interesting courses, experienced, highly qualified scholars, a friendly atmosphere, excellent living conditions and nice, helpful colleagues. The 800-year-old city and the almost 650-year-old university are waiting for you.
See you soon in Krakow"
Prof. Tadeusz Borkowski
