The foundation of the University of Opole in 1994 was the result of the work and intellectual achievements of many generations of inhabitants of Opole Silesia, who wished to have in their native land a scientific and educational institution of the highest rank, which in the European civilisation is a university. The University of Opole was formed through the merger of two institutions of higher education in Opole: the 44-year-old Higher School of Education (1950-1994), one of the best pedagogical universities in Poland, and the Opole Branch of the Catholic University of Lublin, existing since 1981, based on several decades of experience of the Higher Theological Seminary in Nysa. Our university comprises twelve faculties – Faculty of Art, Faculty of Chemistry, Faculty of Economics, Faculty of Law and Administration, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, Faculty of Philology, Faculty of Political Science and Social Communication, Faculty of Social Sciences, and Faculty of Theology. We offer the opportunity to study in over 80 fields of study. We have something for you in every academic field – from medicine to the humanities, Polish and foreign languages studies, sciences and arts, as well as studies conducted in English and niche fields. At our university you can deepen your knowledge from prehistoric times to near space technology.
