Voivodeship: dolnośląskie

Breslau University of Technology - a public technical university founded in Breslau in 1945, was established thanks to the commitment of the academics of the now-defunct Lviv Polytechnic and the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv. Their efforts made it possible to develop the destroyed buildings of the German Technical College - Technische Hochschule. Currently, the university has 14 faculties and three branches located in Jelenia Góra, Legnica and Walbrzych. At the Technical University of Wrocław, research is carried out in 14 scientific disciplines, divided into four fields: engineering and technology, science and natural sciences, medicine and social sciences. Students can choose from 60 majors in first- and second-level studies, many of which are conducted foreigners. On September 4, 2023, the Faculty of Medicine at Wroclaw University of Technology was ceremonially inaugurated. There are currently about 20,300 students at the university, of whom 31.9% are women and 5.9% are foreigners. Last academic year, the university educated nearly 5.1 thousand graduates. And in the 2024/2025 academic year, more than 6.3 thousand male and female students began their studies, including 401 foreigners. The employment structure at Wroclaw University of Technology includes 2,065 full-time academic staff, of which more than 34% are women. Prominent graduates of the academy include Kornel Morawiecki - politician and oppositionist during the communist era, Krzysztof Wielicki - Himalayan mountaineer and alpinist, Leszek Czarnecki - entrepreneur and economist, Maciej Balcar - musician and singer of the band Dżem, Mateusz Morawiecki - politician and Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, and Maja Włoszczowska - mountain biker.
