Warsaw Polytechnic institute

About University

The Warsaw University of Technology dates back to the early 19th century, when technical schools — related to engineering, military technology and mining — were first established in Poland.

The Preparatory School for the Polytechnic Institute was founded in Warsaw by Stanislaw Staszic, and this became the University of Technology in 1915, with the faculties of Architecture, Machine Design and Electrical Engineering. Today, it is one of the largest technical institutes in Central Europe with 19 faculties — including Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology and Mechatronics — and one college, nearly 35,000 students and more than 2,000 academic teachers. The most popular fields of study in 2015 were geoinformatics, automatic control and robots, and biomedical engineering.

The top three areas of the study were computer science, administration and management. The university aims to anticipate what the future might be in terms of economic and cultural conditions by having a clear understanding of the present, and to come up with technological solutions. To this end, it is a strong emphasis on research, community between teachers and students, and academic freedom.

In 2015, the university conducted more than 500 national and international research projects, with the intention of understanding the fast-changing and increasingly complex world. Warsaw University of Technology is a state school with full academic autonomy. It is the best Polish university of technology, which is proved not only in numerous rankings, but also by scientific and didactic achievements. The activity of the university focuses on three main goals: education, scientific research and transfer of technology.

Warsaw University of Technology builds upon the traditions of Polish technical universities that used to function in Warsaw.

It is not only the oldest, but also the best technical university in Poland; in the ranking of Polish universities, it has taken the first place in its category for nine years. At Warsaw University of Technology, over 180 student research groups, organisations and associations are active, and the educational offer includes more than 30 fields of study (also with English as a medium of instruction).
