About Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Wrocław Tech)

Wrocław University of Science and Technology (Wrocław Tech) is one of Poland’s leading universities of technology and a dynamic multidisciplinary academic centre in Central Europe. Established in 1945 and located in Wrocław, one of Poland’s strongest hubs of technology, innovation and business services, the university combines a comprehensive engineering profile with strong basic sciences, social sciences and a rapidly developing medical and health-tech domain.

Wrocław Tech educates around 22,000 students (including 7.5% international) and around 850 doctoral students (15% international). Its academic community includes over 2,500 academic staff, with 226 full professors and 480 university professors. It offers more than 130 programmes of study, including 71 first-cycle programmes, 62 second-cycle programmes and a six-year long-cycle medical programme. Twelve programmes are offered in English.

Wrocław Tech develops research and education across a broad range of science and engineering fields, organised around the following research priority areas: Information Technology, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence; Innovative Materials and Advanced Manufacturing; Sustainable Living Environment; Smart Cities and Future Society; Health and Medical Technologies; Extreme Technologies; and Basic Research for Technology and Innovation. The expansion of the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology in 2021 and the creation of the Faculty of Medicine in 2023 reflect the university’s strategic transformation towards a model in which engineering, data science, biomedical research and clinical needs can meet in one academic environment.

The university’s research and teaching are supported by extensive infrastructure, including more than 1,100 research and teaching laboratories, 8 accredited laboratories and advanced specialist facilities. Wrocław Tech operates its own high-performance computing and networking centre, including the 13-PFLOP/s supercomputer LEM and the quantum computer ODRA 5, both supporting research, education and innovation in data-intensive science and advanced technologies.

Wrocław Tech places particular emphasis on interdisciplinary research, education and innovation. It operates around 20 interdisciplinary and cross-faculty hubs and centres, connecting engineering, AI, data-intensive science, basic sciences, sustainability, advanced materials, energy, security, medicine and health technologies. This architecture is supported by major infrastructure investments and by university-wide mechanisms encouraging cross-faculty teams, shared facilities and translational research.

Graduate outcomes are another visible strength: in a national graduate-careers ranking based on administrative data from the Polish graduate tracking system, Wrocław Tech was ranked 2nd overall in Poland and 1st among technical universities.

Wrocław Tech’s recent research performance includes ERC grants, Horizon Europe projects and its first EIC Pathfinder Challenges funding, as well as high-impact results in AI, photonics, advanced materials, chemical biology, quantum physics, applied mathematics and medical engineering. Its researchers have contributed to publications in Nature, Science and other leading international journals, and the university’s performance is increasingly visible in global, subject-based and citation-based rankings.

Wrocław Tech is listed in the major international academic rankings and research-visibility indicators, including QS, ARWU, THE and Nature Index. Its internationally visible areas include engineering and technology, natural sciences, civil engineering, materials science, electrical and electronic engineering, computer science, AI and interdisciplinary science. THE Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2026 ranked Wrocław Tech 190th globally and 1st in Poland.

The university is a member of the European University Alliance Unite!, as well as CESAER and T.I.M.E., and cooperates with academic, research and industrial partners worldwide. These partnerships support student and staff mobility, joint education, doctoral training, research collaboration and knowledge transfer. Wrocław Tech’s Doctoral School is integrated with the Unite! Doctoral School and provides an increasingly international, project-based pathway towards research independence.

Wrocław Tech stands out in Poland for the strength of its young academic community. It has the highest share of academic staff under 40 among Poland’s largest universities. This profile is supported by a broad architecture of development programmes for doctoral students, young researchers and emerging scientific leaders.

Wrocław Tech is distinguished by a project-based academic culture and a broad ecosystem of around 230 student scientific societies, project teams and organisations, actively involving about 17% of students. Internationally competitive teams include PWr Racing Team, Off-Road, PWr Aerospace, PWr in Space, the University Aviation Club and LEM Wrocław Motorsport.

The university’s Academic Entrepreneurship Incubator is one of Poland’s largest university entrepreneurship platforms. It currently incubates 34 companies and has supported more than 350 start-ups since 2006. Through education, research, entrepreneurship and cooperation with business and public institutions, Wrocław Tech contributes significantly to the development of Wrocław as a major centre of science, technology and innovation.

Student life

“Wrocław – the meeting place” is the promotional slogan of the city. And indeed – meetings, parties, festivals, events and cultural happenings abound here like nowhere else in Poland.

You can find more information about upcoming events on this website. https://www.wroclaw.pl/go/events


Wrocław University of Science and Technology is located in a beautiful part of town, between the bridges over the Oder and near green spaces. The entire infrastructure of this island city (303 bridges and overpasses) encourages cyclists and cycling trips, which is perfect for students as well as a good alternative to traffic jams and crowded trams.


You can ride a bike around:

Centennial Hall and The Zoo

One of the largest architectural works of the twentieth century by Max Berg, Centennial Hall is the site of numerous exhibitions, festivals, conferences and concerts. The multimedia fountain, pergola, Japanese garden and a beautiful spacious Szczytnicki park, especially in the summer, make Centennial Hall a meeting place for citizens of Wrocław, as well as visitors and students.

Literally across the street, you can find Wrocław Zoo. Systematically overhauled and modernized for several years, it provides comfortable conditions to animals. You will be enchanted after visiting the butterflies section, and numerous aquariums, which reflect the different continents’ ecosystems.

Ostrów Tumski

This is where  the entire history of Wrocław has begun. This is the place where some people get to feel the effects of Earthchakras. We know for sure that Ostrów Tumski is a magical Island, full of a gothic atmosphere where you can smell incense, and feel the breath of history dating back almost 2000 years. The island has a beautiful botanical garden, which is an ideal haven of rest.

Market Square

Wrocław’s Market Square is teeming with life 24 hours a day. Town Hall, Gothic churches, picturesque houses and a huge amount of pubs, restaurants and bars make it the heart of the city. Visit the Gallery BWA Awangarda and step on the witches bridge at the towers of St. Mary Magdalena.

Słodowa Island

Słodowa Island is a true mecca of students. Located in the middle of the city, it’s a place where students created their own little autonomy. Concerts, drummers, fire shows, barbecues, juggling and fun from dusk till dawn guaranteed.

Four Temples’ District

This is yet another part of town really worth visiting. The presence of four major religious shrines and the fact that its adherents for centuries lived side by side, make this neighborhood famous for its interesting architecture and unprecedented climate. Today it is a true bars and pubs basin.


Students in Wrocław have a possibility of choosing a place to eat from a variety of restaurants, pubs, fast food outlets and milk bars. The latter are very popular, due to competitive/low prices and good food.

The student canteen in the Student Culture Zone at Wrocław University of Technology, 10 Hoene-Wrońskiego Street (Building C-18). Open on weekdays from 10.45 am to 4 pm (the café opens at 8 am). The menu changes daily and is available at SKS - Menu. Prices tailored to students’ budgets.
