  2. Wrocław University of Technology Today’s Wrocław University of Technology is the heir to the material legacy the German Königliche Technische Hochschule Breslau and the intellectual and research traditions of the Lviv University of Technology. The university has used its current name since 1945. It was established and organised by researchers from Lviv and Warsaw. Since the very beginning of its existence, it has been an important centre of technical education. Today it is one the best technical universities in Poland – over 33 000 students study here under the guidance of 2 000 academic teachers, at 12 Faculties, the Department of Fundamental Studies and in 4 Regional Branches.

  3. Mission Wrocław University of Technology is an autonomous university, a research institution of a university type.
