Considering that the Academy has been employing renowned scientists, running a campus, organising conferences and pursuing a wide range of scientific research it became already in 2000 the first private school in Łódź to receive permission for launching master’s studies in management and marketing. Subsequently, master’s studies were opened in international relations in 2002 and in English philology in 2005. Last year, the Academy received the authority to grant PhD degrees in management.
The Academy has established scientific collaboration as well as exchange of staff and students with academic centres in Germany, Portugal, Russia, France, Italy, Ukraine, Canada, and the United States as well as in Brazil and Peru. The Academy’s students and staff have the opportunity of enriching their knowledge within the European Community’s Socrates/Erasmus programme of cooperation between European higher education institutes in Madrid, Cottbus, Perugia, Lisbon and other cities.
The launch of the school’s “Open Academy” project represented an important development in its history. Thanks to the latest remote-education techniques such as transmission of lectures and Internet multimedia communications, studies can now be pursued anywhere in the country.
Very popular are post-graduate studies offered by the Academy in accountancy, career counselling and personnel management.
Conferences and scientific research represent another significant field of the Academy’s activities. Over the years, the Academy organized more than 20 international conferences and received three grants from the State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) for research on Polish economy's competitiveness and four for own studies. Almost all the Academy’s scientific workers were involved in these research projects.

During the past decade, the Academy of Management in Łódź has entered into scientific partnership with many schools of higher learning in Europe and in America. A number of events during the last academic year reflect the intensity of the Academy’s performance in this field.

The school has been positively assessed by the State Accreditation Commission for its conduct of master’s studies in management and marketing. A European Medal was awarded to the Academy by the Business Centre Club.
In tandem with Clark University, the Academy of Management is running joint Polish-US studies: more than 300 Polish students study in line with US curriculum standards, attend intensive courses in English for the international TEFL-certificate exam, and finally obtain the “master’s” from the Polish school as well as from the renowned US university. The last semester can be credited for in the United States. The first dozen of graduates received their “master’s” degree last year.

The Academy of Management has also established an Economic Development Research Institute (EEDRI) working under Professor Bogdan Piasecki and Professor Anna Rogut. EEDRI’s partners consist of prestigious R&D units, schools of higher learning and institutions promoting regional policies and innovativeness in various business fields. Due to its involvement in big European research projects, the Institute obtained membership of the European Network for Social and Economic Research (ENSR). Over the past three years of its activities, EEDRI’s research work contributed significantly to the development of science and entrepreneurship. About PLN 25 million have been allocated for the pursuit of the Institute’s projects. That allows for conducting interdisciplinary studies and development works, as well as for drawing up experts’ opinions and carrying out analyses for domestic and international institutions, organizations and companies.
