4 Why POLAND? Photo: PAP l Poland is a fascinating country that serves as the geographical and cultural crossroad of Eastern and Western Europe. Located at the center of the Northern European plain, Poland has been a nation of survivors since the foundation of the first Polish state more than 1000 years ago. Through its turbulent history its people have managed to maintain their identity and today the country enjoys a crucial position as the largest of the former Eastern European states and one of the most populous members of the European Union. l Poland is a member of the European Union. It joined the Schengen Area in As a result passport checks are abolished on Poland s borders to Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Lithuania. It practically means that people admitted to the Schengen Area can travel hassle-free between 24 countries of the Schengen Area without internal land and sea border controls, from Portugal to Poland and from Greece to Finland. Krakow the city of the oldest Polish HEI, Jagiellonian University l Thanks to its location, Poland occupies a special place in the European Union. Poland s border on the Bug river became the EU s eastern border. In the wider geographical and geopolitical sense Poland occupies a central position. More and more foreign investment from Western Europe is to be shifted to Poland, as well as from the US and Asia. Poland s geographic location facilitates logistics activities and forecasts indicate an increase in the number of immigrants to the country. l Polish institutions of higher education participate in international student exchange programmes and engage in bilateral agreements and individual exchange programmes pursued by particular schools. All of these initiatives enhance the development of relationships between Polish and foreign institutions of higher education. The 2 Study in Poland

10 Akademia Wychowania Fizycznego i Sportu im. Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdańsk Address: ul. Kazimierza Górskiego Gdańsk Phone: rektor@awf.gda.pl University of Physical Education and Sport in Gdańsk The history of the Academy officially commences on 1st September 1952 when the Technical School of Physical Education was founded and started to operate in Gdańsk. However, the breakthrough year for the Academy, was 1958 when the Technical School of Physical Education was transferred to a new location at Wiejska Street in Gdańsk Oliwa. In the following year, the Technical School was transformed location into The Teachers School of Physical Education and in 1969 became the University School of Physical Education. The major didactic aims of the Teacher s School were to prepare qualified Physical Education teachers (PE teachers) and to familiarize the students and the graduates with various organizational forms of sport in schools and extra-school environment. The year 1962 opened the access to studies for working teachers who had secondary education. In this period, the sport and didactic premises were enriched with a six-lane swimming pool, three sport halls, a pitch with a 400- metre six-lane track, six small pitches and two tennis courts. In the same year, the Centre for Olympic Training was opened, which at that time effectively contributed to development of sport life in Tri-city. The University School provided education for PE teachers for primary, secondary, vocational schools, PE instructors, recreation instructors and sport managers to satisfy the needs of the wider extra-school circles. The University School was also responsible for academic research in the fields of sport and recreation. The academic year 1973/1974 was of prior importance for the University School. At this time the educational and academic research as well as organizational standards allowed the School to obtain and officially bear the name of one of the most distinguished Enlightment scholars, Jędrzej Śniadecki. The patron of the school laid the foundations of the physical education process in his work On Physical Education of Children. In the year 1981, the School obtained the status of academy. In consequence, Jędrzej Śniadecki University School of Physical Education changed its name into Jędrzej Śniadecki Academy of Physical Education in Gdańsk. The following years abounded in constant organizational, academic and didactic development of the Academy. The breakthrough years in this decade were: 1992 when the Academy obtained the right to confer the title of PhD of Sport Sciences, and 1999 since when the Academy obtained the right to confer habilitation title in the field of Sport Sciences. The above events, in particular the latter one, have moved the Academy to a university level. All these developments supported by new academics who have been acquired from other universities allowed to broaden the didactic offer and to open three new courses of: Physical Education, Public Health and Tourism and Recreation. Following the provisions of the Higher Education Act of 5 December 2001, the School obtained the official name of Jędrzej Śniadecki Academy of Physical Education and Sport in Gdańsk. Today the School has the academic staff of 188 academics, including 47 professors and 80 doctors, who conduct lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars. More than 4200 students attend the full-time, non-full-time, extramural and evening courses, both BA and MA studies. The Academy also offers postgraduate courses. In 2007, Sport and Physiotherapy studies were opened. These developments have effectively enriched the didactic offer of the Academy. Our students can also enjoy multiple opportunities to improve their qualifications, master their skills, receive appropriate training in the fields of physical education, sport and/or recreation and obtain various certificates in the area of physical education, sport, tourism and recreation. The Academy additionally provides other forms of supporting careers, for example, complimentary courses for recreation therapists and tour guides, in order to meet the demand. Today the Academy is under the process of restructuring and is working on new development strategy. l BSc Physical Education l wychowanie fizyczne Physical Education l sport Sport l fizjoterapia Physiotherapy l turystyka i rekreacja Tourism and Recreation Facts & fi gu res: Established in 1969 l 188 academic staff l 3149 students l located in the centre of Gdansk l 103 Olympic Games participants (athletes and coaches) l 22 Olympic medals ( ) Contact: Student Recruitment Office: ul.
