Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) was established in 1945, mainly thanks to commitment of academic employees of Lvov University of Technology and John Casimir University in Lvov, which no longer exist. Today, the University continues the tradition of these renowned Polish educational institutions, developing in strict cooperation with the leading enterprises of Lower Silesia. It is one of the biggest and best technological universities in the country, occupying top places in national rankings on a regular basis.

The mission of the University is to maintain and develop competences related to the culture of experimentation. These very competences have created our modern civilisation; they are a prerequisite for its existence and the main driving forces behind its development. Nowadays, as experiments are being replaced with procedures and appearances seem to count more than facts, this mission is of fundamental significance.

  • At present, the 13 faculties and 3 branches of Wrocław University of Science and Technology employ almost 2200 academic lecturers on behalf of more than 26 thousand students and 855 doctoral students. Among them, 1100 are foreign students from 69 countries of the world. There are 887 teaching labs, 175 research labs and 13 accredited labs here.

    The University offers services to companies searching for innovative products and modern technologies, as well as design and implementation of process and technology management, control and monitoring systems. Its laboratories have certificates allowing them to calibrate equipment, they offer tests and compliance assessments for products, systems and installation in terms of compliance with the EU standards.

    The global quality of research conducted by this University's academic employees and the excellently equipped labs have resulted in fruitful cooperation with many national and foreign enterprises. Its students get the opportunity to participate in training and internship programmes, as well as to write their thesis in cooperation with branches of renowned companies, such as Nokia, COMARCH, KGHM, NETIA, Volvo or Ryanair.
