Functioning of the university
Many people working in different departments and structures are involved in the proper functioning of the university and the quality of education. Thanks to their efforts, the university achieves high rankings, and graduates possess knowledge and experience that helps them successfully navigate the job market.
Student Council
A student government that is run by students. It represents them before the university authorities, puts forward projects important to students, proposes changes to student regulations, and above all, organizes interesting events, exhibitions, and meetings. Getting involved in student government is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in teamwork, and to test your mentoring and organizational skills while still at university.
WSB Merito University is made up of people who study and work here with real commitment, and still find time to pursue their passions. The Vice-Chancellor enjoys road cycling, the deans run and do photography, and the rector swims and plays volleyball. This means there is a very good understanding of students, who also need time for study, work and developing their interests – and at WSB Merito University this balance is truly possible.
