A unique aspect of the University is the importance it places on faith and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church in connection with modernity and in a friendly atmosphere.
Studying in the heart of Krakow is a unique opportunity for its students to have close contact with culture and science in one of the most beautiful cities of Europe and a guarantee of both spiritual and intellectual development.
