Sustainability Analytics and Audit
Undergraduate (Bachelor)
Sustainability Analytics and Audit
Why choose this field of study?
Sustainability is now one of the most important trends shaping modern business, where the strategy of action is determined by specific solutions in environmental, social aspects and corporate governance standards – referred to as ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance). According to an EU directive, the largest companies are already obliged to report on sustainability (non-financial ESG reports) from 2024, and in the long term this requirement will be extended to other types of companies. This, in turn, opens up a huge demand for experts in this field – both in the sphere of planning and implementation of elements influencing business sustainability, as well as the reporting, analysis and auditing of ESG activities undertaken in specific companies and institutions.

New requirements for visa applications
Note: important information for bachelor’s degree candidates (first-cycle studies)
In line with the new requirements for visa applications introduced by Polish consulates around the world, candidates applying for a student visa are now required to submit a document confirming their eligibility to apply for a bachelor’s degree (first-cycle studies), issued by the Polish Education Superintendent Office (in Polish – Kuratorium Oświaty). Previously, this document could be provided after arrival in Poland, but under the new regulations, it must be submitted along with the visa application. The procedure for master’s degree candidates remains unchanged.
While the new requirement may slightly extend the visa process, the UEHS is fully prepared to support bachelor’s degree candidates throughout this period. To ensure there are no disruptions to their education, candidates who cannot arrive in Poland before the start of classes will be able to participate in lectures online via MS Teams.
We also have developed a range of effective solutions to provide comprehensive assistance in obtaining the required documents. Our support includes:
- preparing the necessary paperwork
- certified translations into Polish
- submitting the application to the Education Superintendent Office
- promptly ensuring the recognized diploma is sent back to the candidate’s home country.
