1. What influenced your decision to pursue MBA studies at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology?

As for the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology itself, in my professional environment, I meet many people who have completed their education at this University, and it was truly thanks to these recommendations that I decided to undertake MBA studies for the IT industry. My main need was a desire for change, to do something more, to break out of the monotony.

2. How do you look back on your time spent on the MBA for IT at PJAIT? What was most important to you during the studies themselves?

The most important thing for me during the studies was the exchange of experiences with other students who are at a similar stage in life. The second equally valuable element was focusing on issues that I simply hadn't had time for before. These are topics related to marketing, cybersecurity, and a psychological approach to business, which turned out to be very useful and ready to implement directly after classes.

3. How do you evaluate the cooperation between MBA students during classes and the contact between the student and the lecturer? Are the relationships you managed to build important to you?

I evaluate the student-student relationship very positively! The studies gave us a space for group integration, many interesting conversations, the exchange of experiences, and discussions on important topics. During the MBA studies for the IT industry, I met very valuable people with a lot of experience. I believe that the contacts I made will last for many years.
As for the relationship with the Lecturers, in most cases, they were very good. Although we were dealing with specialists in their fields, I did not feel that we, the students, were being treated "condescendingly". We managed to build a partnership-based relationship that influenced openness, a good atmosphere, and freedom of expression.

4. What values, apart from the curriculum itself, were most important to you during your MBA studies?

Perhaps this value does not stem directly from the MBA studies, but after completing the education process at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology, the value itself was that I opened up to new things. It's kind of a new start – a fresh perspective on already familiar issues, an incentive to act in a new style.

5. What advice could you give to potential candidates for MBA studies?

I believe that for people directly related to the IT industry, the MBA studies at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology are a truly valuable place to expand not only theoretical but also practical knowledge. The greatest benefit of these studies is meetings, discussions, and the exchange of experiences with people who deal with similar topics in their professional activities on a daily basis, which is why it is worth being open to conversation and absorbing knowledge.
