status of the University of Agriculture – the only such
university in Poland. The present-day university offers
education in 26 major fields of study and 56

students. Its educational offer comprises also postgraduate

seminars take place at the university.
The Faculty of Agriculture and Economics
is the oldest of the University faculties tracing its
origins to the Agronomic Studies created in 1890 within the
Faculty of Philosophy of the Jagiellonian University of
Cracow, which in 1923 was transformed into an independent
Faculty of Agriculture of the Jagiellonian University. In
Janaury 2002 it was renamed as the Faculty of Agriculture
and Economics. The Faculty employs 160 members of academic
staff, including 30 full professors, 28 Habilitated Doctors

Uniwersytet Papieski Jana Pawla II

educational and academic activities within six faculties:
Philosophy, History and Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences,
Canon Law, Theology and Theology Section in Tarnow, and
within interdepartmental Institutes of Bioethics and in
Centre for Research on Thought of John Paul II.
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. The Unioversity offers
classes in small groups, which are conducive to good
relations between students and lecturers, and treating each
person individually.
They hope that in the future the
Pontifical University will play a role in preserving the
European identity by strengthening relations between science
and faith in the spirit of the encyclical Fides et ratio and
reminding us about the Christian roots of the European
culture.
