Profile
In 1702, the Austrian emperor Leopold I founded a small Jesuit academy in Wroclaw called Leopoldina, after its founder. In 1811, the Academy merged with the Protestant Viadrina University, which was moved to Wroclaw from Frankfurt (Oder), to form the Universitatis Literarum Vratislaviensis. The Wroclaw University is a State University under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. The University conducts teaching and research activities in all main academic fields. 42,680 students are taught and supervised by almost 1,815 members of academic staff.
Location
Wroclaw is located at the crossroads of the major routes of Central Europe and is only a few hours away by train from Berlin, Prague, Budapest and Vienna, as well as Minsk, Lvov, Vilnius. Wroclaw was founded in the 10th century and is one of the oldest cities in Poland with a long and rich history. In the following centuries it was ruled at various times by the Germans, Bohemians, and Prussians. The relics of the past intertwine with the present giving the City a unique, multicultural character. Nowhere else in Poland can one encounter such a mixture of nationalities, dominated mainly by active young people.
