Wrocław University of Technology
Today’s Wrocław University of Technology is the heir to the material
legacy the German Königliche Technische Hochschule Breslau and the
intellectual and research traditions of the Lviv University of Technology.
The university has used its current name since 1945. It was
established and organised by researchers from Lviv and Warsaw. Since
the very beginning of its existence, it has been an important centre
of technical education.
Today it is one the best technical universities in Poland – over 33 000
students study here under the guidance of 2 000 academic teachers, at
12 Faculties, the Department of Fundamental Studies and in 4 Regional
Branches.
