The University of Economics commenced its activities in 1947 as a private, one-faculty College of Commercial Education. Three years later it was nationalised and transformed into the College of Economics and a second faculty was added. The present Polish name, Akademia Ekonomiczna im. Oskara Langego was introduced in October 1974, and its officially adopted English name is "Wroclaw University of Economics".
The University has four faculties: Economics , Management and Computer Science, Engineering and Economics and Regional Economy and Tourism, the latter located in Jelenia Góra. Altogether it employs 743 academic teachers including 137 professors. There is strong interest in economic studies, in the current academic year 2006/2007 the University has about 18,000 students, and so far it has produced over 60,000 graduates.
The University is authorized to grant degrees, among them PhD and doctor habilitatus of economic science, organisation and management.
The University is organized into 66 departments, and the didactic process is supported by such units as the Library, the Department of Foreign Languages (SJO), the Department of Sports and Physical Education, and the Publishing House.
The main Library houses 340,000 volumes and nearly1,000 periodicals, a quarter of which are foreign. The Library operates an electronic system which catalogues and registers the lending of materials. The Publishing House produces academic publications presenting the results of research and scientific reports, conference materials, textbooks and books which are also used by students of other Universities, as well as other reference literature.
The University is equipped with a modern computer base and access to the Internet is widely available. Our University is located within a compact campus in Komandorska Street in central Wroclaw. The Department of Regional Economy and Tourism has its own separate facilities and premises in Jelenia Góra.
