The University of Bialystok was created under the Act of Sejm of the Republic of Poland on
June 19, 1997 from the Branch of Warsaw University after 29 years of its existence.
The academic potential and scope of the new University’s activities have contributed to its
present position as one of the biggest and most important academic centers in the Northern
Eastern Poland. Though now an independent academic centre, The University of Bialystok
still maintains scientific and personal connections with Warsaw University.
The region of Podlasie with its essential religious and ethnic diversity creates numerous
opportunities for scientific research, as well as cultural projects. Hence, as an academic centre
The University of Bialystok has a unique opportunity to foster tolerance, encourage openness
and advance cooperation between ethnic and religious minorities of the region.
For years The University of Bialystok has specialized in researches concerning various
problems of the Eastern borderland. The areas of study available at the University are well
suited to specific regional needs, possibilities and geopolitical conditions of Podlasie. The
University of Bialystok also responds to the needs of Poles living behind the Eastern boarder
of Poland. Among others, the University befriends and cooperates with academies from
Belarus, Russia, Lithuania and Ukraine.
At present, The University of Bialystok educates over 15 000 students, including foreigners,
mostly from Eastern Europe. It is a mold of future intellectual elites, as well as a source of
