Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw

Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (UKSW) is one of the well-known universities in Poland. We offer education in various fields of knowledge, from theology and the humanities to social sciences, natural sciences and medicine. We excel thanks to our experienced academic staff, innovative research projects and Christian atmosphere.

Our University is a Polish state university with a Catholic tradition and spirituality. Its patron is Blessed Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński (1901-1981), a former Archbishop of Warsaw and Primate of Poland.

The University consists of 12 Faculties, located in three campuses: at Dewajtis street in Warsaw, at Wóycickiego street in Warsaw, and in Dziekanów Leśny close to Warsaw. Students can choose from 45 majors, including: theology, sustainability study, law, medicine, psychology, journalism, Italian philology or economics.

Four „canonical” Faculties (Theology, Christian Philosophy, Canon Law, and Family Studies) are under the supervision of both the Polish state and the Catholic Church. Therefore, the academic grades and titles obtained at these Faculties are recognized by both the Polish state (and consequently, by many other states in the world) and the Catholic Church.
