magic to the place.

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
here. The inhabitants of Wrocław and their
guests usually meet at several landmarks in the
market square: the pillory, the Source foun-

In the north-western corner of the market square
there are two medieval tenement houses called
“Hansel” and “Gretel”, with an arcade between

is a monumental painting, 114 metres long and
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.

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

specialists in their fields (judges, public prosecu-
tors, solicitors, notaries, legal counsels and repre-
sentatives of the world of business). We guarantee
your participation in an extensive practical training
and placement programme. We also have our own
courtroom used for hearing simulations. When you

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
consumer rights as well as pursuing claims. You

the work of a mediator, negotiator, lawyer in in-
ternational corporations, legal expert in various
institutions and companies.

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

ural disasters, and in what order? You will find
answers to these and many other questions in our
study programme. You will acquire knowledge

risk analysis in emergency situations. This special-
ity will be an ideal choice if in the future you want

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.
