University of Łódź

The University of Łódź was founded on May 24, 1945, just a few weeks after the end of World War II in Europe. It was formed as a result of a merger of educational institutes in Łódź, and it is now a highly regarded university in Poland. The university has 12 faculties spread throughout Łódź, Poland's third-largest city. The university campus has a large number of student dormitories, as well as modern sports facilities and a variety of entertainment options. The University of Łódź also has one of the largest academic libraries in Central Europe, housing approximately three million books.

It is also regarded as an extremely international university, with foreign nationals accounting for a sizable proportion of the 38,000 students currently enrolled. Furthermore, the university offers degree programs in Polish, French, English, and Russian, as well as the country's longest-running School of Polish for Foreigners, which was founded in 1952.

International relations are central to the philosophy of the University of Łódź, and as such, the university has agreements in place with over 200 higher education institutions worldwide, and it is also a participant in the Erasmus student exchange program. The university has collaboration agreements in place with ten universities around the world, including institutions in France, Finland, Germany, and the United States, allowing students at the University of Łódź to graduate with dual diplomas.

Former Polish Prime Minister and former President of the National Bank of Poland Marek Belka, Polish Justice Minister Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, and fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski are among the University of Łódź's famous alumni.
