Toruń
Toruń
is one of the most beautiful cities of Poland. Picturesquely located on
the both banks of the Vistula River, at a site of intersection of
ancient trade routes, it has been propagating its traditional economy
and openness to the world for nearly 800 years. The gothic buildings of
Toruń's Old Town, which won the designation of World Heritage Site from
UNESCO in 1997, present proof of Toruń's centuries-old economic,
cultural and intellectual ties with the leading cities of Europe
associated in the Hanseatic League. more »
The Nicolaus Copernicus University
The
Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (NCU), founded in 1945, is the
biggest university in northern Poland and is outstanding both in terms
of its scientific potential as well as the courses of study on offer,
forms of education, and numbers of students and graduates. Due to the
joining of the Ludwik Rydygier Medical Academy in Bydgoszcz to NCU,
which took place on 24 November 2004, the University became a
multi-profile higher education institution with even stronger research
potential and teaching offers. In the recent press rankings, NCU has
been granted the honourable position among the first five best
universities in Poland. This is a confirmation of a high standard of
the research and education offers.
NCU is comprised of 14
faculties: Faculty of Biology and Earth Sciences; Faculty of Chemistry;
Faculty of Languages; Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied
Computer Science; Faculty of Humanities; Faculty of Mathematics and
Computer Science; Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management; Faculty
of History; Faculty of Law and Administration; Faculty of Fine Arts;
Faculty of Theology and three faculties of Collegium Medicum in
Bydgoszcz: Medical Faculty, Pharmaceutical Faculty and Faculty of
Health Education. Twelve faculties have the power to grant doctorate
and eleven - to grant post-doctorate degrees. Apart from the faculties,
interfaculty and general university units, general university centres
and interdisciplinary groups participate in education, scientific-and
research and organisational activities. more »
