Poznan is known as the birthplace of Poland. Poznan Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Poland, was built on the 10th and 11th century tombs of the first Polish kings. Poznan, the fifth largest city in Poland, is located halfway between Berlin and Warsaw. With a population of over 600,000 inhabitants, Poznan has traditionally been and remains a vital center for culture, banking and commerce. Today, the city's vibrant and stable economy continues to attract both Polish and foreign investment. Poznan is a city with twenty-four institutions of higher learning and has a university student population of some 130,000. Poznan's economic dynamism, healthy environment, and moderate climate all make it a great place to live and study.

Our school is an integral part of Poznan, and as such, we encourage all our students to be involved with the local community. Many of our international students have been fully integrated into our university college's community service programs, such as, teaching foreign languages to disadvantaged children and violence prevention programs. As an example of community involvement, many of our faculty members and international students participated in the Poznan Festival of Science and Art, "Openings to the World," 10-12 October 2007, giving presentations on a variety of topics, Students Festivals “Juwenalia” and participation in many events organized by Canadian-Polish Club, Psychology of Business, Finance scientific students groups and clubs.
