Wroclaw University of Technology
WUT, Main building
The mission of our University is to shape the creative and
critical personalities of students and define the directions
of development in science and technology. The education
offered at our institution is strongly linked with scientific
research and the needs of economy and is consistent with
standards of the European Higher Education Area. The degrees awarded by Wrocław University of Technology are
a symbol of high quality of education, confirmed by the
National Accreditation Committee and the Accreditation
Committee of Universities of Technology. Today’s Wrocław
University of Technology is an inheritor of the tangible
property of the German Königliche Technische Hochschule
Breslau and the intellectual and research traditions of the
Lvov Polytechnic. The university has been functioning under the current name
since 1945. It was established and organised by researchers
from Lvov and Warsaw. Since the very beginning of its
existence, it has been an important centre of technical
education. Today, it belongs to the best technical
universities in Poland – over 32 000 students study here under
the guidance of 2 000 academic teachers, at the 12 faculties
and the Department of Fundamental Studies, as well as in the 4
regional branches (Bielawa, Jelenia Góra, Legnica,
Wałbrzych). It rates high in the annual rankings of Polish universities. Recently, it has been announced the best technical university in Poland for the second consecutive time in the oldest Polish ranking of higher education schools carried out by the “Wprost” magazine (in 2006 and 2007). Also, the university ranked first in the modern technologies group (disciplines: computer science, electronics, materials science) of the Where to study? ranking. In this way, owing to the Wrocław Univeristy of Technology, Wrocław appears as the capital of Polish computer science. This is because of the European level of teaching and research run by the university employees. Their achievements are recognised not only in Poland but also abroad. Wrocław University of Technology allows students to learn
either according to standard programmes or to choose an
individual programme. In this way, students can shape their own
specialisations. The university maintains lively contacts with
teaching and research institutions from all over the world -
from Europe to America. Thanks to the co-operation agreements
signed, students and research employees of the Wrocław
University of Technology have the opportunity to study abroad
and to take part in joint research projects. The university is
involved in the following research programmes: LLP-Erasmus,
Erasmus-Mundus, the 7th Framework Programme, and Leonardo da
Vinci. Also, there are many students’ organisations at the Wrocław
University of Technology. Students have the opportunity to
develop their scientific and creative passions, as well. The
kind of such activity depends solely on the student’s
imagination. The high level of research carried out, matching
the world’s best, and the well-equipped laboratories result in
a wide co-operation with Polish and international companies,
e.g. Philips Lighting Poland S.A., KOGENERACJA S.A., Toyota,
LG, WABCO, EnergiaPro, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., Whirlpool. As
part of these agreements, joint research projects are carried
out. Also, students gain the opportunity to perform internships
or training or to write their diploma thesis in the branches of
the renowned companies in any part of the world. Direct link to Wrocław University
