from its inception, the Faculty had been involved in various forms of cooperation with foreign universities and other educational and scientific institutions? The initial activities were focused mainly on mutual reciprocal contacts, concluding bilateral agreements. Gradually, there was an increasing emphasis on involvement in international programs, research projects and grants. Cooperation with the Peace Corps, the Fulbright Commission and the National Agency for International Education at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic contributed to establishing contacts with English and American lecturers who then worked at the Faculty, thus involving extensive assistance for the newly established Faculty. From the academic year 1995/96, students were sent to study in Great Britain, Finland, Greece, Ireland, and Austria within the international programs TEMPUS and CEEPUS. In 1998, Silesian University and its constituents joined the Socrates Erasmus program. In the summer semester of the academic year 1999/2000, the first 3 students at the School of Business Administration were sent abroad (2 students to Germany and 1 student to Ireland). In the academic year 1995/96, the first foreign students from the School of Higher Education, Oulu, Finland, visited the faculty.

the main faculty building had undergone many repairs and modernizations from its construction? In the 1990s, for example, the cladding of the building was repaired, and a canteen with technical facilities was built in the former garages and warehouses of the People's Militia and Civil Defense. In 2012, the cladding of the building and windows were replaced. Since 2017, a gazebo in the courtyard of the Faculty has been available to faculty staff and students. Its interior was also reconstructed and modernized. A significant event was the modernization of the small and large auditorium, which took place with the financial support of ESF funds. More than 50 million investments were 95% paid from the Operational Program Research, Development and Education.
