Jagiellonian University Medical College / Uniwersytet Jagiellonski - Collegium Medicum

Krakow, Malopolskie, Poland

The University of Krakow is the oldest university in Poland and one of the oldest in this region of Europe. It was founded on May 12, 1364 by the Polish king Casimir the Great. General study - as the University was then called - consisted of three faculties: liberal arts, medicine and law. Only the first two functioned during the founder's lifetime. After the king's death, the university ceased to exist.

Further development of the University has been inextricably bound with the turbulent and often tragic history of Poland. The institution managed to survive both the partitions of Poland by Russia, Prussia and Austria, and the two world wars, serving as a guardian of Polish culture and identity and educating successive generations of Poles, as well as members of other nations, significantly contributing to the intellectual heritage of Europe.
