The preparation of Management students as well as managers in practice to cope with demanding situations in managerial work is an important predictor of the efficiency of the manager's work. The paper presents the results of the experimental verification of changes in coping with demanding situations by Management students. The concept of the research project was based on experimental verification of incorporation of the subject "Coping with demanding situations in human resource management" into the study program Management in the specialization Human Resource Management. The experimental project was conducted on the basis of a comparison of the results of the experimental and the control group, where the experimental group passed the subject and the control group did not have it included in the study curriculum. The experiment was conducted on a sample of 293 Management students by means of the Brief COPE (COPE (b) [1]) methodology. The experimental results confirmed the statistically significant differences between the ante and the post measurement within the experimental group in terms of the following coping factors: Positive reframing, Active coping, Planning, Humor, and Venting. Within the control group, none of these differences were recorded.
