Wrocław University of Technology

Historical background
Wrocław University of Technology (Politechnika Wrocławska) was founded in 1945. The first group of Polish academics, mostly from Lvov, came to Wrocław on the 9th and 10th of May, 1945, three days after the capitulation of Festung Breslau. The University was housed in the buildings of the former Technische Hochschule Breslau, which had existed since 1910. The first lecture was held on the 15th of November, 1945, and since then that day has been celebrated as the University’s anniversary.

Education
At present, Wrocław University of Technology has 31,936 students studying in Wrocław and at its three branches located in the largest towns of the region: Legnica, Wałbrzych and Jelenia Góra. It employs a staff of almost 4,200 (including 2,035 academic teachers), which makes the university the largest employer in Wrocław; it has about 250 buildings with modern laboratories, workshops, libraries and large and small lecture theatres and rooms, equipped with audio-visual and multimedia devices; it has a number of technical workshops, self-transport and repair bases, and a rich social, sport and recreation base. To date, 70,727 students have graduated from Wrocław University of Technology with M.Sc. or B.Sc. degrees, and 4,194 with Ph.D. degrees; of the latter group, 626 have qualified as assistant professors.
New, extremely ambitious tasks have been undertaken by the university, aimed at developing and expanding educational possibilities as determined by inter-disciplinary sciences, technical progress, economic globalisation and fast access to information. Thus, Wrocław University of Technology’s proposed didactic programmes of B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D. and postgraduate studies enable the university not only to pass on professional knowledge, but also to shape students’ ability to formulate and solve problems independently.

Research
The university develops its own research on a large scale, connected not only with the current need to modernise study programmes, but also with a rich service offering directed toward numerous research and scientific institutions, both national and foreign. The breadth of the university’s research, educational platforms, projects, expertise and the implementation of all these activities by its scientists embraces over 600 detailed thematic fields. Research goes on in a broadly developed network of laboratories, workshops and teams found at all the faculties and university units. It is possible - particularly in co-operation with industry – to conduct research qualifying products for quality marks meeting the ISO 9000 norms.

STATISTICS

Total number of students: 31,936

Total number of staff: 4,213

The Faculty of Computer Science and Management

The Faculty of Computer Science and Management (W8) consists of the following organizational units:

The Institute of Industrial Engineering and Management is divided into ten units. The Institute of Control and Systems Engineering consists of three units. Each of the organizational units is responsible for teaching students and for conducting research in the field that it represents. Seventeen laboratories serve research and teaching purposes.

Research

Basic research areas of the faculty are:

Computer science: computer networks and distributed systems, expert systems and databases, information processing and computerization of information processes, computer control systems of complex processes.

Management, marketing and economics: functioning of market economies, business economics, control, identification and discernment in modern production systems, methods of computer science optimization and application.
