The University has been operating since 1702 and is one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. It builds on the historical heritage of Silesia and the legacy of Austrian, Prussian, Czech and Polish culture, continuing also the traditions of the Polish universities in Lviv and Vilnius.
The University holds the title of Research University as the only university in Lower Silesia and one of ten in Poland. This means that in the coming years it will receive additional funding for the implementation of the University of Wrocław project, which was awarded in the competition “Initiative of Excellence – Research University”. The project envisages many benefits for current and future students of the University, tutoring, reducing the size of class groups and expanding the offer of programmes in English, as well as the introduction of additional single-degree studies intended for particularly talented and ambitious people.
Faculties
Accommodation:
The University of Wrocław does not run a hotel/hostel. A person who has the status of a student/doctoral student of the University of Wrocław or participates in the didactic process of the University of Wrocław can apply for a place in a student house first. In the case of vacant places, it is possible for students from other Wrocław universities to apply for a place in a student house.
Students life:
Students enjoy a vibrant campus experience enriched by a wide array of extracurricular programmes, sports, and supportive services. The All‑University System of Extracurricular Programmes (OSPP) offers nearly 80 free courses—ranging from creative workshops and language clubs to biophysics and anti‑procrastination sessions—that students can take alongside their degree studies. International students benefit from the Buddy System, pairing them with local peers who help them settle into university life and Wrocław’s cultural scene. The university supports physical wellbeing through the UCWFIS sports centre, offering 36 disciplines—from yoga and volleyball to advanced athletic teams—mostly free and some competitive sections for those wishing to represent UWr. These initiatives, along with active student organisations, funded activity grants, and cultural trips (like the “Roots & Routes” walks exploring Wrocław’s multicultural heritage) make life at UWr socially engaging, diverse, and deeply integrated into academic growth.
