We are a public institution of higher education, established in 1944 to foster the development and dissemination of knowledge. Since then, almost 137,000 students have graduated from the university; we have also awarded 3,000 doctoral and 640 habilitated doctoral degrees. Our research in numerous fields has contributed significantly to the development of arts and sciences in Poland, with the results consistently used in practice. Thanks to its decade-long efforts Maria Curie-Skłodowska University has won recognition both at home and abroad, and has become the workplace of leading faculty and a school for highly qualified specialists in many fields.
The university currently employs 428 professors and habilitated doctors as well as 1,286 faculty members with doctoral and master’s degrees, working in state-of-the-art laboratories, libraries and modern lecture rooms. The university enrolls over 34,000 undergraduate and master’s level students as well as over 800 doctoral students in full-time, extramural and evening study programs, making MCSU the largest university in the eastern part of Poland.
Our ambition is to excel in academic research and instruction. In order to meet these challenges we participate in national and international research programs and cooperate with leading national and foreign academic and research centers, while our students take part in a number of international exchange programs. We are also committed to building the system of education based on the principles stipulated in the Bologna Process documents. Our achievements have been recognized in the accreditation of degree programs by the State Accreditation Committee. The most significant task in the upcoming years is the modernization of the campus infrastructure and the implementation of the integrated computer system streamlining the management of the University.
We envision Maria Curie-Skłodowska University as actively participating in building the society of knowledge and making both Poland and the Lublin region more competitive among the countries and communities of the European Union.
