213 metres long and 78 metres wide. It is one

of the largest old marketplaces in Poland, sur-

rounded on the four sides by as many as 60

tenement houses, with 11 streets beginning

In the north-western corner of the market square

there are two medieval tenement houses called

“Hansel” and “Gretel”, with an arcade between

15 metres high. It depicts the victorious Battle of

Racławice of April 1794 in which Poles defeated

the Russians. It was the artists’ intention to give

viewers an impression of being in the middle of

events. A special kind of set decorations placed in

front of the painting, lighting, and a panoramic

perspective render its multidimensional character

and make it possible to compare the effects used

in the painting to those applied in the modern 3D

technology.

UNIVERSITY OF LAW IN WROCŁAW




In the course of a study programme students need to complete four student practical training periods:

administration, criminal law, civil law and commercial law training. The objective of practical training is

to extend the knowledge acquired during the studies and to apply it in practice, to develop self-reliance,

to become familiar with the activities of institutions providing training programmes in many various

aspects, to gain experience necessary to write a diploma paper and to choose the future career path.

Practical training programmes last 1 month and their principles are specified in the practical occupa-

tional training regulations of University of Law.

STUDENT PRACTICAL TRAINING

LEGAL SERVICES FOR BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS

specialists in their fields (judges, public prosecu-

tors, solicitors, notaries, legal counsels and repre-

sentatives of the world of business). We guarantee

and placement programme. We also have our own

courtroom used for hearing simulations. When you

graduate you will have the chance to apply for a

selected legal training programme to become a

judge, public prosecutor, solicitor, notary public

or legal counsel.

Safety and legal stability are important for every-

one. In our practical classes you will learn how to

protect consumers, entrepreneurs or a company

from risks resulting from the lack of knowledge of

legal regulations. You will acquire valuable knowl-

edge of counselling and legal aid in the area of

5-year uniform masters study programme

You have already become familiar with the brief descriptions of Wrocław attractions as well as the most

important information concerning the school. Now it is time to learn more about the education offer.

University of Law offers two fields of study comprising interesting specialities.

EDUCATION OFFER

CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINALISTICS

CRISIS MANAGEMENT CYBERCRIME

ting forbidden actions? Do you spend all your free

just for you. You will be able to work for the police,

special forces, the prison system, the customs and

tax services as well as in other security-related in-

stitutions.

has to be done in case of a terrorist attack or nat-

ural disasters, and in what order? You will find

PROPER CONDITIONS TO STUDY

A school is above all students. Bearing this in mind, the University of Law offers students an extensive

scholarship system which allows them to focus entirely on studying. Under this system, students can

apply for such financial assistance as a rector’s scholarship, a maintenance grant, a grant for disabled

people, bonuses increasing the amount of a maintenance grant, all kinds of allowances and discounts

for students actively participating in the school’s life.

The very location of the school – on the Piasek Island on the Odra River, right next to Ostrów Tumski with

its magnificent monuments of history - is also a significant attraction for students. Although the seat of

the University of Law is located in the very heart of Wrocław, both the natural barrier separating it from the

remaining part of the city, as well as the surrounding sacral and university buildings and Ossolineum foster

concentration on studying, which is so important in the educational process. The ACADEMIC CAREERS

OFFICE is a very active unit of the school. A carrier development counsellor will provide you with individual

consultations there. Full-time and part-time students will get access to practical training and placement

offers. Every field of study has its own practical training supervisor who is responsible for the factual and

formal supervision of practical training.

ERASMUS+

TOLES

Since 2017 students of the University of Law have

had the opportunity to participate in international

student exchange schemes under the Erasmus+

Programme. The offer comprises one semester or

one year study programmes at a partner universi-

ty (e.g. in Italy, Spain and Turkey) or professional

training practice programmes. The Erasmus+ Pro-

gramme is a guarantee of a chance to develop in

an international student community and to get to

know the culture, language and customs of other

European states.

The University of Law is the examination centre

in Lower Silesia authorised to conduct the pres-

tigious TOLES examination (Test of Legal English

Skills). It is an international examination testing

the knowledge of the language of law. It is intend-

ed for practising lawyers, trainees and law students

interested in acquiring a certificate recognized in

the international lawyer community as a confir-

mation of acquiring practical skills in the field of

legal English.
