University of Zielona Gora was founded on the 1st September 2001 as a result of a merger between Pedagogical University and Technical University in Zielona Gora.
The University comprises 7 faculties, which provide education for about 10 thousand students within over 70 areas of study and different types of courses (full-time and part-time ones) conducted at various levels (undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and doctoral).
All faculties use the European Credit Transfer System, which facilitates partial study abroad. Thanks to the University’s co-operation with foreign institutions, students have the opportunity to participate in European Union exchange programmes, such as Erasmus+, while academics can take part in staff exchange and international research projects. All faculties have the right to confer Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and we also grant doctoral and postdoctoral (doctor habilitatus).
University of Zielona Gora can accommodate a total over 1400 students in 7 University dormitories, which are adapted to the needs of students with disabilities.
The University Library offers access to diversified collections of books in many languages and a wide range of leading international scientific journals.
Students have continuous access to the Internet as well as well-equipped technical, computer and language laboratories, and can also enjoy a thriving social life, with student entertainment clubs hosting famous comedy groups, music bands, the academic choir, sports associations and many more.
