Wrocław University 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 Lviv Polytechnic.
The university has been functioning under the 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 belongs to the best technical universities in Poland – over
33 000 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.
Mission
