The Medical University of Lublin has a history dating back to 1944 when the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University (MCSU) established the faculty of medicine. In 1950, the faculty separated from MCSU to form the independent Medical Academy. Over the years, new areas of research and education, including nursing, pharmacy, and dentistry, were added.
In 2001, the English Language Division was founded, offering medical education in the English language to students from around the world. In 2008, the Medical Academy attained full university status and was renamed the Medical University of Lublin.
The university is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of knowledge acquisition from achievements in the fields of science and the economy among both educated individuals and those involved in medical and health sciences.
Situated in Lublin, a city in eastern Poland, the university ranks as the ninth-largest city in Poland. Lublin serves as the capital and centre of Lublin Voivodeship, with a population exceeding 330,000. Located on the route between Krakow, Warsaw, and Russia, Lublin serves as the industrial and cultural hub of south-eastern Poland, producing agricultural machinery, chemicals, automobiles, trucks, sugar, and beer.
The university encompasses three faculties: the faculty of medicine, the faculty of dentistry, and the faculty of pharmacy. Each faculty comprises various departments, offering a range of undergraduate and graduate degree programmes.
The university aspires to attain recognition as a leading medical institution in state and global academic rankings, owing to its emphasis on excellent education, research results, and a high level of innovation.
