University of Wroclaw

A Rich History and GrowthFounded in 1702 by Leopold I Habsburg, the University of Wroclaw grew from a Jesuit school into one of Poland’s largest institutions. In the 19th century, it had five faculties: philosophy, theology, law, and medicine. After WWII, professors from Lvov established new faculties, which later became independent. It also expanded with laboratories and a natural museum.

At our 12 faculties, you can explore diverse fields, including humanities, law, social sciences, biological, chemical, geographical, mathematical, computer, and natural sciences. The University of Wroclaw has produced 9 Nobel Prize winners, including Theodor Mommsen, Philipp Lenard, and Erwin Schrödinger. Today, the university focuses on scientific research and maintains numerous international partnerships. We offer a variety of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in English, designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for success in a globalised world.

The university's quality assessment system has been recognised by Polish authorities, with 9 out of 12 faculties receiving the highest rating. The Academic Incubator of Entrepreneurship supports students in starting businesses by providing free entrepreneurial advice, organising conferences, subsidising selected investments, and offering office space. It collaborates with the Wroclaw Technology Park, a hub for scientific and industrial innovation. Today, research is a top priority, marked by collaborations with national and international institutions. Recent funding from Polish authorities has increased research budgets by 80%.

University of Wroclaw offers job security and abundant opportunities for growth to both scientific and administrative staff. As a result, the university is home to trusted experts with extensive knowledge across a wide range of fields, from the humanities to the sciences.
