ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY Founded in 1919 it inherits from the tradition of Lubrański Academy founded in 1519 and the tradition of Jesuit College founded in 1573. The College of Jesuits was transformed into the University by a law of privilege of October 28, 1611 from the King Sigismund III Vasa (but this law was never applied). After the Second World War (in the 50ties) the university gave birth to a number of academic schools like the University of Medicine, University of Agriculture, Academy of Sports. Now, UAM constitutes the community of students, teachers and administrative staff which amounts to more then 50,000 people. It is divided into 15 faculties: Biology, Chemistry, English, Educational studies, Geography and Geology, History, Law and Administration, Mathematics and Computer Science, Modern Languages and Literature, Pedagogy and Fine Arts, Physics, Polish and Classical Philologies, Political Sciences and Journalism Social Sciences, Theology.
