The University of Bielsko-Biala (Akademia Techniczno-Humanistyczna w Bielsku-Bialej) was founded in October 2001 as an independent governmental academic institution. Previously, since 1969, it had been a branch of the Technical University of Lodz (Politechnika Łódzka).
The machine-design, electrical, and textile industries have an established history in the region, so the main study fields have been long established. However, due to changes in the economy, other fields of study have been developed, including management, humanities, environmental sciences and computer sciences.
At present, about 5,000 students study at five faculties: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science; Faculty of Materials, Civil and Environmental Engineering; Faculty of Management and Transport; Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Faculty of Health Sciences. The University employs about 400 people, including 200 experienced professors and other academic staff. As the only state educational institution in the Podbeskidzie region which provides teritary education, the University of Bielsko-Biala has a vibrant community of ambitious individuals who contribute to the University’s research and didactic potential by constantly attaining their professional, educational and social goals. The University is firmly rooted in the region which is reflected in various enterprises with members of the community and also in its research interests.
