Where European Tradition Meets American Opportunity
Vistula University (Akademia Finansów i Biznesu Vistula) is one of Poland’s oldest and most prestigious non-public universities, founded in 1992 as the second private higher education institution in the country. Located in Warsaw’s modern Ursynów district, just next to the metro station, the university has evolved into a truly international hub for higher education.
The university derives from the tradition and experience of four academic institutions that merged between 2012-2015: the University of Insurance and Banking (original name), the Higher School of Economics and Information, the European Academy of Arts, and the School of Management.
