Wroclaw Medical University

The history of our university dates back to the post-war years, when in 1946 the Faculty of Medicine was established at the combined University and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. In 1950, it was transformed into the Medical Academy, and in 2012, we became the Medical University of Piast Dynasty in Wroclaw.

Wroclaw Medical University offers studies in 12 fields of study in Polish and 3 in English: medicine, dentistry, and nursing. For postgraduate students, we offer the Doctoral School. We aim to provide our students with the best possible learning and development conditions. The modern premises of the Scientific Medical Information Centre are bustling with activity. Future doctors, nurses, midwives and paramedics master their practical skills at the University Clinical Hospital and Medical Simulation Center. Dentistry students use the professionally equipped dental offices of the University Dental Center on Krakowska Street.
