From the Rector The University of Life Sciences in Lublin is a multi-profile higher education institution, which integrates a wide range of agricultural, biological, veterinary, technical and socioeconomic sciences. Its educational offer is attractive for the local secondary school leavers as new directions of studies are created to meet requirements of the current job market in Poland, the contents and forms of education comply with current educational standards. Well experienced academic staff and up-to-date didactic and research base guarantee high level of education approved by certificates. The 65-year-old activity of the University has shown its high rank in the structure of the Polish higher education system. ProfessorMarian Wesołowski

  5. History Academic traditions date back to 1944 Academic traditions of our University date back to 1944 when four faculties : Medical, Natural, Agrarian and Veterinary of the new University of Maria Curie-Sklodowska  were established. In 1955 on the rising tide of creating new state higher education schools the then Rector of the UMCS professor Bohdan Dobrzanski was commissioned to establish an independent scientific – didactic and research unit out of the Agrarian, the Veterinary and the Zootechnics faculties. By the Resolution 503 of the Ministry Cabinet from 6 August 1955  the Higher School of Agriculture was established. Professor Bohdan Dobrzanski became its first Rector. The School was growing fast and in 1970 two more faculties were established – Horticultural and Agricultural Engineering. On 23 September 1972 the Cabinet changed the name of the School into the Agricultural University. In May 2005 the Polish Senate established the sixth faculty – the Faculty of Food Sciences and Biotechnology and in 2006 the seventh – the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in Zamosc. On 6 March 2008 the Polish Parliament enacted a new law which changed the names of some higher education agricultural schools. The ceremony to celebrate name changing - Univeristy of Life Sciences in Lublin - was held on 17 April 2008.

  6. University Over 50 000 graduates The Faculties have the right to confer titles of doctor and doctor habilitated. The University employs about 1700 people including over 800 academic staff. Among them 30% are independent researchers. Scientific research conducted in the units and  laboratories of the University and in the experimental farms in Bezek, Czeslawice, Uhrusk and Felin provides valuable contribution to the development of agricultural and veterinary science. A significant number of scientific publications of our staff in reputable scientific magazines and publishing houses as well as numerous patents prove the fact. Our University has over 53 000 graduates. Currently young people can choose among 27 undergraduate and graduate programmes. At present about 11000 students are studying at all types of studies..The graduates of our University are among highly qualified employees of agricultural – food sector and a significant group of veterinary doctors. They work at managerial posts in the biggest production plants of the Lublin Province. Many of them work outside agriculture.

  7. University Our students are active in many fields Since the beginning of our University  students  have been required to undergo compulsory practical training and internship at different agricultural facilities and agricultural – food plants in Poland and abroad. Young people develop their interests at the Student Scientific Societies during meetings and discussions as well as national and foreign conferences and symposiums. Students Self-Government is thriving. Students Magazine „Radar” has been published for 4 years. For over 55 years the University Choir plays an important cultural and educational role. Many generations of young people with future scientific staff of the University among them went through the Folk Song and Dance Group "Jawor" which in 2003 was awarded the title of the Ambassador of the Lublin Province. Academic sportsmen also have great achievements. Swimmers, judokas, basketball and chess players have won numerous titles of individual and team champions of Poland.
