AGH University of Science and Technology is one of the best and most renowned modern Polish universities. For many years it has been ranked in the top of the list of institutions of higher education. AGH UST is a leading Polish university in modern technologies, and belongs to a group of prestigious international educational centres.

The AGH University of Science and Technology, established on 20th October, 1919, until 1949 known as the Academy of Mining, founded after long-lasting endeavours which had started in 1782, the date when the Ore Commission was established, has been continuing the traditions of the Academy of Mining in Kielce (1816-1827), inaugurated by Stanisław Staszic. The university, being a technical school, serves science and industry through educating students, the development of academic staff, as well as research and development. The university cherishes its traditions and educates students to be honest, responsible people both at work and as the members of the society, according to its motto: “Labore creata, labori et scientiae servio”.

The history of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow dates back to 1912, when a group of outstanding engineers and mining activists, led by Jan Zarański, initiated the process of applying for a consent to establish a school of higher education that would educate mining engineers in Krakow. The endeavours were successful,and in 1913 the Ministry of Public Work in Vienna appointed the Organizing Committee of the Mining Academy, chaired by Professor Józef Morozewicz. By force of a Supreme Order issued by Emperor Francis Joseph on 31st May, 1913, the establishment of the Mining Academy in Krakow was approved. The outbreak of World War I prevented the Academy from beginning its activity in 1914.

This is a great university in Kraków. It has a very nice infrastructure and huge government and European Union support, what contributes even more to improve its teaching quality. There are many different engineering courses in a varied scientific fields. Also, this university has a lot of history to tell throughout its alleys, between their holdings, near its monuments, permanent expositions and mainly inside its History Museum, which is a must-see if you are student, professor, worker, resident or tourist.

Uczelnia działa prężnie i słychać o niej także poza środowiskiem akademickim. Wydaje mi się, że wygrywa pod tym względem nawet z Politechniką. Znam wielu absolwentów AGH-u, wszyscy mają dobrą pracę i są zadowoleni w większości z prowadzenia zajęć :)

Chyba najlepsza uczelnia w Polsce. Nie ma chyba w Polsce osoby która nie słyszała by o Akademi Górniczo Hutniczej. Uczelnia ma też mocno ugruntowaną pozycję na światowej scenie dydaktyki. Jeśli chodzi o samo miejsce to wszystko jest tu w jednym miejscu. Cały kompleks poszczególnych wydziałów oraz miasteczka studenckiego ciągnie się pomiędzy ulicami Reymonta i Czarnowiejską. Wszystko jest w jednym miejscu ale żeby przemieścić się z jednego końca na drógi to nieraz trzeba kożystać z autobusu chociaż 20 min spacer też nie zaszkodzi. Generalnie bardzo dobra uczelnia stale się rozwijająca. Warto tu przyjechać zobaczyć no i oczywiście studiować ?
