The University of Opole was established in 1994. It consists of 12 faculties and 19 institutes.

The university offers many majors where great academics share their specialized knowledge. Students can also practice their skills using specialized studios, laboratories, and media centers. Besides, the university offers access to an extensive library and scholarship programs. Students can also take part in exchanges (Erasmus +, Europa Master Program) and internships abroad.

However, studying is not only about learning but also about many extra activities. In Opole, students can develop their interests by getting involved in student media, study circles, and the choir. The university organizes many cultural, sports and entertainment events during the academic year. The biggest of these is the annual spring festival, “Piastonalia.”

All this makes the University of Opole a great place for development. Studying here, you will broaden your horizons, gain useful knowledge and practical skills. Besides, you will have the chance to take part in interesting events and meet new friends.
