3. Description of the UniversityDSWE TWP was established by the Local Department of the Association for the Advancement of Education (TWP) in Wroclaw. Mgr Janina Tauroginska-Kopera (the Director of the Local Department of TWP) and prof. dr hab. Robert Kwaśnica (then the Chairman of the Local Department of TWP) came with the initiative to establish DSWE TWP.

DSWE TWP has been established based on the decision of the Ministry of Education (MEN) on 16th June 1997. It was registered as a non-state university under the number 118 in the register of non-state higher education institutions. In its beginnings the school had a name ‘University of Lower Silesia’ (DSWE) and only later it was completed by ‘of the Association for the Advancement of Education’ (TWP).

ULS AAE in Wrocław is a non-state university and it functions on the same rights and rules like state universities (based on the 27th July 2005 education bill concerning universities).

ULS AAE is the owner of three buildings placed in Wagonowa Street 6, Wagonowa Street 9, Strzegomska Street 55. Apart form those it leases a building in Strzegomska Street 47.

The number of computer rooms are growing and presently there are 4 computer rooms and the collection of the University’ s library is rising gradually (30000 volumes).

The basic organizational units of DSWE TWP are two Faculties – the Faculty of Pedagogic and the Faculty of Journalism and International Relations. The first of those faculties consists of the Institute of Pedagogic, the Institute of Special Pedagogic, the Institute of Continuing Education for Teachers and Educational Studies, whereas the latter consists of the Institute of Journalism and Social Communication, the Institute of International Relations. The constantly developing cooperation with foreign universities resulted in establishment of the International Culture and Education Institute in ULS AAE in Wrocław.


Already in the first year of the University the scientific research projects have been developed. There is a magazine entitled: “The Present – Human Being – Education” (‘Teraźniejszość-Człowiek-Edukacja’) published quarterly by University’s publishing house. Till now 32 scientific monographs have already been published by the publishing house that playing very important role in the scientific activity of the University.

9. ECTS – general informationEuropean Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) has been created to facilitate the exchange of students between higher education institutions and access to information about study programme. The system obliges a student’s home institution to recognize studies abroad without necessity of additional credits or repetition of the year.

ECTS guarantees principle transparency of completing studies by: allocating ECTS credits to each course, creating information package about a school and programmes of study.

ECTS credits are allocated to all obligatory courses in the study programme. They constitute a numerical value of student workload he has to do to get a credit for a particular course. There is no direct relation between the number of didactic hours and the number of ECTS credits allocated. The ECTS credits determine a student’s actual workload and contribution to get a credit for a course. They are allocated independently of forms of didactic classes (lectures, seminars, classes, workshops). Completing the year of studies requires accumulation of 60 credits (30 credits in a term on average). It enables a student to select courses depending on his own abilities and time.

Information package makes it possible to get to know well a university in which a student plans to study. It gives a student a chance to get acquainted with courses and study programme. It allows to select courses similar to those he has in his home institution. For each student who leaves to study abroad as well as for the one who returns from studies abroad there is a transcript of records. Credits for completed courses are allocated to courses which are obligatory in his home institution.


Higher education institutions participate in ECTS programme voluntarily. They clearly determine principles of studies and have a flexible approach to the cooperation with partners. A crucial role is played by coordinators i.e. people responsible for contacts with other institutions and proper functioning of ECTS in a university.

Basic principles of ECTS:1. Principles of the system are the same for all kinds and forms of studies.

2. ECTS credits are allocated to all courses in the study programme.

3. Credits are allocated to a course, not to its particular component elements. Partial allocation of credits is possible in case when a course covers more than one term. Getting positive grades from the whole course is equivalent to allocating a student a proper number of ECTS credits.

4. To complete the year a student has to acquire:

sixty credits in a year,

thirty in a term (unless the study programme allows deviation from the number of credits in a term).

5. Getting a diploma requires fulfilling rigors included in the study programme and getting a determined number of credits.

180 – to complete first-cycle studies 300 – to complete first and second-cycle studies
