Study Medicine in Wroclaw
The origin of Wroclaw Medical University started in 1811 under the orders of Prussian King Frederik Willhelm the second. Initially the organisation had five facilities including anatomy, physiology, internal medicine, obstetrics and surgery. In 1949 the Medical Faculty became an independent part of the University. Since 2003 the faculty has been offering courses taught in English. Wroclaw has a long tradition of medical studies with its first hospital opening in the 13th century. Many notable doctors have studied and worked in the city including Paul Erlich who is the pioneer of present chemotherapy (Nobel Prize in 1908). The faculty of medicine has been established for 70 years and the university presently has around 6,000 students.
