From the Rector
The University of Life Sciences in Lublin is
a multi-profile higher education institution, which
integrates a wide range of agricultural, biological,
veterinary, technical and socioeconomic sciences.
Its educational offer is attractive for the
local secondary school leavers as new directions of
studies are created to meet requirements of the
current job market in Poland, the contents and
forms of education comply with current educational
standards. Well experienced academic staff and upto-date didactic and research base guarantee high
level of education approved by certificates. The 65year-old activity of the University has shown its
high rank in the structure of the Polish higher
education system.
Professor Marian Wesołowski
University History
Academic traditions date back to 1944
Academic traditions of our University date back to 1944 when four faculties :
Medical, Natural, Agrarian and Veterinary of the new University of Maria CurieSklodowska were established.
In 1955 on the rising tide of creating new state higher education schools the then
Rector of the UMCS professor Bohdan Dobrzanski was commissioned to establish
an independent scientific – didactic and research unit out of the Agrarian, the
Veterinary and the Zootechnics faculties. By the Resolution 503 of the Ministry
Cabinet from 6 August 1955 the Higher School of Agriculture was established.
Professor Bohdan Dobrzanski became its first Rector.
The School was growing fast and in 1970 two more faculties were established –
Horticultural and Agricultural Engineering. On 23 September 1972 the Cabinet
changed the name of the School into the Agricultural University. In May 2005
the Polish Senate established the sixth faculty – the Faculty of Food Sciences and
Biotechnology and in 2006 the seventh – the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in
Zamosc.
On 6 March 2008 the Polish Parliament enacted a new law which changed the
names of some higher education agricultural schools. The ceremony to celebrate
name changing - Univeristy of Life Sciences in Lublin - was held on 17 April
2008.
University
Over 50 000 graduates
The Faculties have the right to confer titles of doctor and doctor habilitated.
The University employs about 1700 people including over 800 academic staff.
Among them 30% are independent researchers.
Scientific research conducted in the units and laboratories of the University
and in the experimental farms in Bezek, Czeslawice, Uhrusk and Felin provides
valuable contribution to the development of agricultural and veterinary
science. A significant number of scientific publications of our staff in reputable
scientific magazines and publishing houses as well as numerous patents prove
the fact.
Our University has over 50 000 graduates. Currently young people can choose
among 25 fields of study. There is a 3 step education system – long cycle ( the
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine ), 1st and 2nd cycle fulltime and extramural
studies and 3rd cycle doctoral studies. At present about 11000 students are
studying at all types of studies.
.
The graduates of our University are among highly qualified employees of
agricultural – food sector and a significant group of veterinary doctors. They
work at managerial posts in the biggest production plants of the Lublin
Province. Many of them work outside agriculture.
University
Our students are active in many fields
Since the beginning of our University students have been required to
undergo compulsory practical training and internship at different agricultural
facilities and agricultural – food plants in Poland and abroad.
Young people develop their interests at the Student Scientific Societies during
meetings and discussions as well as national and foreign conferences and
symposiums.
Students Self-Government is thriving. Students Magazine „Radar” has been
published for 4 years. For over 55 years the University Choir plays an
important cultural and educational role. Many generations of young people
with future scientific staff of the University among them went through the
Folk Song and Dance Group "Jawor" which in 2003 was awarded the title of
the Ambassador of the Lublin Province.
Academic sportsmen also have great achievements. Swimmers, judokas,
basketball and chess players have won numerous titles of individual and team
champions of Poland. On 17 April 2008 Sports and Recreational Centre with a
swimming pool was opened on the corner of Raabego and Gleboka Street.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
The Experimental Stations are independent units in respect of finance and
organization. Their statutory duties include scientific research and experimental
work as well as teaching, namely classes, seminars and practical training for
students. The stabilization and continuity of the University’s intellectual
development and material growth are their primary objectives.
Due to the fact that the Experimental Stations are situated in different
geographical regions of the Lublin province, that is: Felin, within the Świdnik
Plateau; Czesławice, within the Nałęczów Plateau; Uhrusk, within Polesie
Wołyńskie, they are characterized by unique soil, climate and cultural conditions
and therefore they constitute a valuable experimental basis for both scientific
research and teaching purposes in most University faculties.

Central Laboratory of Agriecology was created in 1969. Up-to-date instruments
which had been gathered in the Laboratory for forty years as well as constantly
trained staff of specialists enabled the services of analysis and measurement,
the improvement of scientific research methods and their popularization
among the University staff and students. In 2009 the Laboratory was relocated
to a modern building on the premises of the Lublin Park of Science and
Technology in Felin. Thanks to EU financial support, within the project, the
Laboratory was provided with unique, high quality research equipment. The
aim of the project was to create and supply research institutions and
entrepreneurs with professional infrastructure to carry out both certified
research and measuring work.
In the Laboratory the nutritive and pro-health value of food is tested as well as
its contamination with mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, nitrates and
nitrites. Moreover, the staff deal with the evaluation of biofuels and workplace
and natural environment assessment including water and sewage analyses.
Professional laboratory equipment is accessible for scientific research as
well.
The Central Library gathers items of both Polish and foreign literature
