Warsaw University of Technology

Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) is a leading technical university in Poland and one of the largest in Central Europe.

The history of Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) dates back to 1826, when engineering education was begun in the Warsaw Institute of Technology. However, the university in its current form was not founded until 1915, thanks to the efforts of the Association for Scientific Courses and the Citizens' Committee of the City of Warsaw.

The early years of the university were marked by rapid growth and development. By 1920, WUT had over 2,000 students and was offering a wide range of engineering programs. The university also became a major center for scientific research, and its faculty members were involved in a number of groundbreaking projects.

During World War II, WUT was severely damaged. The university's buildings were bombed and looted, and many of its faculty members and students were killed or imprisoned. However, after the war, WUT quickly rebuilt and resumed its operations.

In the postwar years, WUT continued to grow and develop. The university expanded its curriculum and increased its research output. WUT also became a leader in the development of new technologies, such as computer science and electronics.

In recent years, WUT has continued to modernize and expand. The university has built new facilities and renovated its existing buildings. WUT has also increased its international cooperation, and its students and faculty members now participate in a wide range of exchange programs and research projects with other universities around the world.

Today, Warsaw University of Technology is one of the leading technical universities in Poland and Central Europe. It is a highly respected institution with a long history of academic excellence.

Based on the QS World University Rankings of 2025, Warsaw University of Technology is positioned as the #527 top university in the world, which makes it the #3 top university in Poland. The university's global rank is improved by 44 points from last year.
