Overview

This medical university dates back to 1811 and was re-established after the war in 1950. The English division was formed in 2003 and it offers Medicine and Dentistry in English. It is situated about 3.5km east of the city centre. The architecture of Wroclaw the capital of Lower Silesia in western Poland just north of the Sudety Mountains and about 90km from the Czech border reflects its political past. Bohemian Austrian and Prussian influences can be seen in the buildings. On the River Odra (Oder) it boasts twelve islands including the Cathedral Island with its gothic cathedral and 130 bridges. The Town Hall with its astronomical clock in the beautifully reconstructed market square is at the heart of cultural centre and student city with its very good international rail and air links.
