Kraków has had municipal rights since 1257 and is one of the oldest
cities in Poland. From the 14th to the 16th century it was the capital
of Poland and the place of coronation and burial of Polish kings (until
as late as 1734). Today, Kraków is a popular tourist destination,
thanks to its famous historic monuments, such as Wawel Castle,
the St. Mary's Basilica, the Cloth Hall and the Main Market Square.

The offices of Rector and Deans are located in Collegium Novum, which was built in 1887 at the old
university campus next to the Planty park. The most valuable building of the historic academic quarter is
Collegium Maius – the oldest university professors' college (since 1400), which housed the Jagiellonian
Library in the 19th and early 20th century and now houses the JU Museum, whose collections include
unique works of art, pieces of old scientific apparatus, and other historic items. Next to the museum,
there is the Professors' Garden, full of interactive instruments. In 2014, a time capsule was buried there
to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the university's foundation.

Today, the Jagiellonian University consists of 15 faculties, including 3 medical faculties, which make up
the Medical College. The University provides education to about 50 thousand students, 65% of whom are
women. Besides international students from the European Union, there are more and more young
people from Asia, the Americas, and Africa, as well as East European countries studying at the oldest
Polish higher education institution.

of Olkusz, Jan of Głogów,
in Kraków by King
The 15th and 16th centuries were considered the “golden age” of the University in Kraków, which was
famous for excellence in mathematics, astronomy and law, and a number of eminent scholars.
The university attracted foreigners from all over Europe, who accounted for 44 percent of the students.
Its most distinguished graduates in that period included the world famous astronomer Nicholaus
Copernicus.
Since the late 16th century the University was generally known as the Kraków Academy, whereas during
the reform implemented by Hugo Kołłątaj in the years 1777 – 1786, it changed its name into the Principal
School of the Realm. After the third partition of Poland (1795), when Kraków was incorporated into
Austria, the University changed its name yet again – to the Principal School of Kraków, whereas the
current name – the Jagiellonian University has been officially used since 1817.

of the University
The Jagiellonian University was funded on 12 May 1364 by King Casimir the Great. It is the oldest
university in Poland and one of the oldest in Europe. The Studium Generale – as the University used to be
called at that time – consisted of three faculties: of law, medicine and liberal arts. In 1400 the University
was re-established by King Vladislaus Jagiełło and another faculty – of theology – was added to the
restored institution.
