University History

The University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów was established in 1996. UITM started as a university with 3 courses taught in the Polish language, 110 people of academic staff and the area of university covered 2,000 m². Now it is the largest private university in the Podkarpackie region with 419 of academic staff (including 52 foreigners) and almost 6000 students, including 1700 international ones coming from the EU, Eastern Europe, Asia, America and Africa (more than 40 countries). There are more than 40,000 alumni that have graduated from UITM. Our three faculties (Administration and Social Sciences, IT and Medical) offer both bachelor and master’s degrees, with the addition of non-degree postgraduate specialization and vocational courses in Polish and in English. Currently, UITM offers 22 courses in Polish and 14 courses in English.

According to Polish university rankings, UITM scores high on degree programmes in foreign languages, ability to secure EU regional funding and international student share (the third highest among Polish universities). According to annual rankings produced by Polish magazines and newspapers, UITM scored high in Poland for master’s degrees (and the best institution in the region) with its graduates highly valued by Polish employers. UITM is also present in international rankings of more than 1200 higher education institutions in Europe that offer a multidimensional performance measure.

By comparison, European perspectives of UITM is that it’s a newcomer to the higher education market of small sized and privately-owned universities. UITM combines strong international orientation with regional engagement (with a higher than average share of first year student coming from the region). UITM has also been involved in long-term intensive cooperation with businesses from the Podkarpackie region, Poland and Europe. With its specialized staff, modern technological infrastructure and innovative approach, UITM offers services such as research and consultancy, innovation transfer, IT, internal security and financial expertise.

The Campus in Rzeszów, as well as having lecture rooms and administrative offices, has many specialised IT and Language Laboratories, a professional TV and Radio Recording Studio, Read & Relax Room, the IQ Academic Club with exhibition space and stage. The Campus in Kielnarowa is located in beautiful greenery on the outskirts of Rzeszow city. It was built in 2011, partly funded by the European Union as a “Development of Eastern Poland” Project. It has several buildings on site, the main parts of the complex – The Centre for International Education and The Centre for Tourism and Recreation are open for all students and visitors.

Education and Research in Kielnarowa

One of the most interesting innovations available in this Centre is our state-of-the-art 3D Cave in the Laboratory of Virtual Reality and Image Processing. In order to use the cave, one has to wear 3D glasses. The user sees a 3D image generated by computers, which creates virtual reality inside the cave. Another spectacle is the Financial Laboratory that simulates the stock exchange and financial trading workplace. The laboratory is one of the first initiatives in Central- Eastern Europe. The lab is equipped with 24 computer terminals, each with two screens.

Modern Medical Laboratories are also located at this Campus. The Laboratory of Tissue and Cell Culture, the Laboratory of Immunology and Biochemistry, the Laboratory of Toxicology and Medical Genetics, the Laboratory of Molecular Biology and also the Laboratory of Cosmetic Chemistry. We give as much priority to high-quality research as we do to high-quality teaching. The Centre is also armed with back-up videoconference and interpreting audio systems, air-conditioned lecture rooms as well as multimedia devices. There is access for disabled students and staff and all laboratories have tools for the visually impaired, such as monitors and Braille printers.
