About us
DSW University of Lower Silesia is one of the most important academic centers in Wrocław and the entire Lower Silesia region. Every year, we educate over 9,000 undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate STUDENTS.
Since commencing the University, our faculty have been implementing a visionary plan to create a free and democratic school. The Students have been crucial and very engaged participants in this process. They actively influence the shape of the academic community. While studying, they fulfill their aspirations and passions and develop talents.
We’ve been NUMBER 1 for years!
In the “Perspektywy” ranking, we’ve been THE TOP UNIVERSITY in the region for years.
We’ve been the best among non-public universities for 18 years.
Through the Erasmus+ program, DSW University cooperates with universities from all over Europe and the world through over 100 partnership agreements! This allows our students to study abroad for 1 or 2 semesters during their bachelor's, master's, or doctoral studies.
For us,
Erasmus+ is not only about education but also about life experience
Thanks to successful partnerships, our students and staff can experience equal opportunities, inclusion, diversity, and fairness across all Erasmus+ actions.
