The University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn was established on 1 September 1999, in accordance with the new Statute of Sejm signed by Polish PresidentAleksander Kwaśniewski, as well as Minister of Education Mirosław Handke, in August of the same year.[1] Ryszard Górecki became its first chancellor. The Faculty of Theology was established with an agreement between Polish Episcopate and the government, in the presence of CardinalJózef Glemp, among others. The university's first academic year started in October 1999.[2]
The core structure of the university was based on an agreement between the academic senates of three institutions of higher learning already established in the city: the Academy of Agriculture and Technology, the Pedagogical Institute, and the Warmia Institute of Theology.
The university has 16 faculties, out of which eight hold full academic rights and therefore entitle the university to operate as an autonomous unit.
