University of Opole is one of nineteen public universities in Poland. Although it seems to be a relatively young university established in 1994 – it has a long academic tradition since it was founded as a result of joining one of the best Polish pedagogical academies – the Higher Pedagogical College in Opole and Opole branch of the Catholic University in Lublin. The university has a huge scientific potential, generated mainly by its award winning staff and a multitude of specialist laboratories, IT and media centers, as well as by impressive library resources. The University of Opole is continually expanding its educational offer and is developing cooperation with academic and business partners both in Poland and abroad.
