With 30 universities and more than 106,000 students, Wrocław welcomes over 27,000 skilled, multilingual graduates each year. It’s a big reason why employers keep recruiting from here.

A journey worth celebrating
Where could Strathallan take you?
Some universities teach you what to think. The University of Wrocław (UWr) invites you to think freely. Built on the values of truth and freedom of expression, it brings together students and lecturers from different cultures who are open to new ideas. And because every journey deserves its moments, UWr celebrates your achievements just as well as it supports learning.
The Kindergarten prioritises sensorial, experiential learning as a means for children to understand abstract concepts. Educators help children learn how to think, not just what to think.
“In a crowded Berkshire/Oxfordshire school market, The Oratory is a distinct alternative and is well worth a visit.”

“Studying at UWr gave me a lot of freedom to choose what I truly wanted to focus on. The quality of education even surprised me — despite having studied in a few different countries, I really appreciate the approach to learning here. This place helped refine my direction and confirmed that there was no better place for me to study history, art, and the humanities.”
Celebrating your UWr journey
Some milestones are meant to be shared and graduating from UWr is one of them. There's no better farewell to student life and a first step into the alumni community of an institution shaped by more than 300 years of academic tradition than with UWr's Graduation Ceremony. Held every year on the third Friday of July, the ceremony brings together academic staff, families, and the entire university community to honour your journey. And if the distance keeps loved ones away, your special moment can still be shared through a livestream on UWr’s YouTube channel.
In your academic gown and cap, you will walk into the Aula Leopoldina and immediately sense the weight of the moment. It is the largest and most representative hall in UWr's Main Building, built between 1728 and 1732 and named after Emperor Leopold I, the founder of the university. As you look around, you are surrounded by centuries of history; the interior is designed in the Baroque style and decorated with numerous frescoes, sculptures, and ornamental details by outstanding painters, sculptors, and architects.
After the formal ceremony, it’s time to relax and celebrate. Graduates gather for a small reception with refreshments and take photos in the photobooth with friends and fellow alumni. There's also a Career Office stand to explore opportunities for further studies or professional development with UWr.

Where could Strathallan take you?
In January 2026, The Good Schools Guide, an independent survey of schools in the UK, wrote the following about The Oratory School in its review:
“In a crowded Berkshire/Oxfordshire school market, The Oratory is a distinct alternative and is well worth a visit.”
“Punching above its small size, The Oratory features superb facilities across 100 acres and has varied strengths, notably in sports and the arts.”
“School often wins against big-name competition.”
“GOLD standard pastoral care with open communication based on honesty, inclusivity and trust.”
Words like these are the norm for this independent boarding and day school for girls and boys aged 11 to 18 in Oxfordshire. Ask educators here about the secret to their success and they’ll say sometimes the simplest answer to a question is usually the right one. Here, it starts with giving every student here the chance to do this: Be you, become more.

Big ambitions. Great quality of life. Wrocław delivers both.
One of Poland’s fastest-growing urban centres, global companies across business services, IT, industry, logistics, automotive, and advanced engineering are already here. And with one in five residents coming from abroad, the city feels international from day one.
Wrocław hosts over 200 modern services companies, including shared services centres (SSC) and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies that employ more than 66,000 professionals. Add to that hundreds of research and development (R&D) and IT centres and a vibrant tech scene, and you get a city where you can keep growing.
This is simply a great place to live. It’s green, safe, and multicultural, with a stunning Market Square, loads of festivals and outdoor events, bike-friendly streets, good public transport, and easy access to some of Poland’s most scenic regions. Taking advantage of everything Wrocław offers, professional development at UWr starts early.

Academic Career Office
The Academic Career Office offers plenty of initiatives to help students bridge the gap between university and their first job. They include:
20 employer-led workshops, development programmes and training courses each year (639 participants attended these events in 2025)
Five annual extracurricular courses focused on the soft skills employers value most
Bilingual (Polish and English) individual and group career counselling for more than 200 students each year
Job and Internship Fairs run twice a year, where students can meet dozens of employers (43 took part in 2025)
The mentoring programme is one of the Academic Career Office’s flagship initiatives — and one of the largest in Poland. With its 15th edition coming up in 2026, it has been growing steadily for years, connecting over 100 mentees each year with more than 50 experienced mentors. English-speaking students have been part of the programme for the past eight editions, and 35% of mentors offer their support in English.
Graduates most commonly work in education and science, followed by IT, business and accounting, and administrative roles. They are employed by large, often international, companies. (Monitoring of post-graduation career paths 2020 by the Academic Career Office of UWr, 2025)
“If you are looking for a university where tradition meets modernity, and where opportunities for personal growth and professional development are virtually unlimited, UWr will be the perfect choice. Join a community for whom growth, challenges, collaboration, and innovation are key values!”
