Rector’s welcome

You are facing a dilemma related to your future educational path. The choice of studies and university is a crucial life decision that will determine your future. Therefore, it is important to choose a university which is recognized both within the country and internationally, for its achievements and good reputation; a university that will provide you with a diploma that will be a major asset on the labour market.

Fully aware of this, I recommend to you studies at Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz, where people, their desires and passions are of utmost importance. According to our mission, expressed in the motto SAPIENTIAE SERVIENTES (Lat. Serving Wisdom), we are consistently carrying out a planned strategy of development thus creating not only ideal conditions for studying, appreciated by the Polish Accreditation Committee, but also we are making our best to adjust KPU’s scientific and didactic offer to the needs of employers in order to make each graduate stand out in terms of knowledge, skills and social competences, and thus be competitive on the dynamically changing labour market. Numerous scientific circles, workshops and laboratories as well as vivid international cooperation that allows for studying or completing students practice abroad, enable comprehensive development and a possibility to fulfill one’s passions. In order to ensure the highest quality of education, the University employs a research personnel comprised of renown professors, which combined with practical lecturers is particularly valued by KPU students.
Within the 15 years of its functioning, Kujawy and Pomorze University has been one of the most thriving universities in Poland, winning honourable awards for its activity in various rankings.
