institution

Opole University of Technology is located in Opole, a city in southern Poland on the Oder River and the historical capital of Upper Silesia.

The university was founded in 1959 as a branch of the Silesian University of Technology, before it became an independent university, the Higher School of Engineering in Opole, in 1966. The university came about in the 1950s when the country needed engineers following the war.

Today the university attracts around 9,000 students each year. The university has seven faculties including the faculty of civil engineering and architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automatic control and computer science, physical education and physiotherapy, economics and management, production engineering and logistics and technical systems engineering.

In 2008 the university collaborated with the Beijing University of Technology and opened the Opole Confucius Institute, aimed at the formation and expansion of academic, economic and cultural links between Poland and China. The Opole University of Technology is also a member of the European University Association and has links with universities across the continent.

Outside of academia students can get involved with the university's brass band and choir which are both highly regarded in the local area and regularly tour and perform.
