After Poland's accession to the European Union, the role and importance of higher education institutions increased even more. We currently have one of the best educational offers in central Poland in terms of economic and social sciences. The studies offered at our Faculty are very popular among high school graduates - we currently have about 5,000 students studying with us, which is more than 12% of all students at the University of Lodz. We educate at 16 majors in the full-time and part-time system, at all levels of education: bachelor's degree, master's degree, as well as third-degree (doctoral) and postgraduate studies. Classes are held in Polish and English. We also dynamically support the activity of young people in the student government and more than a dozen scientific circles operating in our environment.

The Faculty of Economics and Sociology is currently conducting multidirectional scientific research work in Poland and abroad. We organize dean's lectures, to which we invite the most prominent representatives of economic sciences and humanities known in Poland and abroad.
