The University of Warsaw's economics programme won the ranking of economic studies conducted by non-economic universities. The ranking of universities and economic studies by "Rzeczpospolita", whose substantive partner is the Information Processing Centre (OPE) - the National Research Institute (PIB), is based on data from the nationwide Polish Graduate Tracking System (ELA) and compilations from the POL-on system, i.e., the Integrated System of Information on Science and Higher Education (ZSIoSWN).
The University of Warsaw is the decisive leader in terms of scientific potential. The University's economic studies were also highly rated in the other three categories: the careers of graduates, the quality of teaching, and the internationalisation of departments.
