WORD FROM THE RECTOR OF UNIVERSITY
OF SECURITY IN POZNAN
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Recently, the issue of safety and education for safety have assumed a special meaning. This is
due to the dynamic transformations in all spheres of people’s lives. The extremely interesting
world of diversity and opportunities can also be ruthless and cruel and hence elicit the feeling
of threat and insecurity.
The University of Security, as an institution with a clearly defined profile which is also visible
in the school’s name, has embarked on a mission to educate for safety, in a broad sense of the
word. Our goal is to train specialists directly and indirectly responsible for personal and
public safety as well as safety and security promotion.
Moreover, we remember that studying is not only the time for acquiring skills and knowledge
but also the time for self-development. Therefore, our University offers innovative forms of
education which are realized by our outstanding teaching staff. Our undergraduate and
postgraduate courses guarantee an intellectual adventure, bring new challenges and creative
stimulation. They assure comprehensive development which is crucial for students’ future
careers.
Our hope is that studying with us will be an unforgettable journey to knowledge and
understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend studying at the University of Security.
Rector
Andrzej Zduniak, Ph.D.

ABOUT POLAND
A nation with a glorious past and promising future. Poland’s influence on the global
stage is growing. A driving force in the new Europe with a skilled workforce and an
economy increasingly attractive to foreign investors — Poland is making its
statement.
Poland lies in the heart of Europe. There are 38 million people living in Poland,
which makes it the 33rd most populous country in the world. The total area of
Poland is 312,679 square kilometers, which makes it the 9th largest country in
Europe. Poland is bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and
Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania to the east; and the Baltic Sea
and Kaliningrad Oblast - a Russian exclave, to the north.
5
ABOUT POLAND
Poland has a long and glorious history, which is closely connected with its struggle
for independence. Polish people have a very strong national identity which helped
them survive during 123 years of partitions of Poland. Poles are also very proud of
their newest history: Poland was the first country in Europe which got rid of
communism. It opened doors for other countries to regain their sovereignty thanks to
the Solidarność movement, whose leader, Lech Wałęsa, later received Nobel Peace
Prize as an honor to the national movement.
Poland has one of the fastest growing economies among Central European nations,
with an annual growth rate of over 6.0%. Over the last decade, tremendous overall
economic progress lead Poland to the 21st place in the world ranking in terms of
GDP. Forecasts show further economic growth which means Poland is likely to
continue to move up in the ranking.
6
ABOUT POLAND
Poland is one of Europe’s youngest societies - half of the population is below the age
of 35. Moreover, it is the second country in Europe in terms of number of students.
Poland has a modern and developed system of education. There are 126 state higher
education institutions including 17 universities, 18 universities of technology, as well
as 301 private schools of tertiary education. They employ over 100 thousand
academics; half of them hold a Ph.D. degree. Over 40 R&D centers and 4,500
researchers make Poland the biggest R&D hub in Central and Eastern Europe.
International companies are attracted to Poland because of its highly qualified work
force, support of authorities, and the largest market in Central Europe.

universities and a number of smaller, mostly private colleges and institutions of
higher education. During an academic year about 150,000 of students live in Poznan,
which counts for a huge part of the city’s population. This is why Poznan is a real

cultural and sport happenings.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF SECURITY
The University of Security in Poznań (in Polish: Wyższa Szkoła Bezpieczeństwa
WSB) was founded on December 17th, 2004, by an ordinance of the Ministry of
National Education and Sport and registered as a non-public university-level
institution on February 11th 2005 – which, at the same time, is the day when the
school commenced its educational activities.
The school’s main activity is providing undergraduate as well as postgraduate
taught programmes such as National Security, Internal Security, Health Scurity,
Pedagogy and Management. WSB alumni will have the knowledge of social
pathology prevention, internal, national and health security issues as well as the
ability to realise security-promoting projects.
Moreover, the University of Security is the first Polish and one of few European
institutions whose curriculum encompasses the issues of personal security and
whose goal is to equip students with skills which would render them highly
attractive on the European labor market. Importantly, the school’s graduates have
the potential of becoming Poland’s first professional safety managers. Indeed, WSB is
the first institution of higher education training safety professionals and promoting
security on personal, domestic and national level.
9
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF SECURITY
The University of Security is an institution with a holistic approach to students, i.e. it
is concerned with students’ professional and personal growth – aims which are
realized through encouraging student participation in various personal and social
security projects. Undoubtedly, the issues of personal and social safety are the
school’s main research and consultancy areas. Additionally, WSB seeks and values
students’ active involvement in all its projects. Finally, the school builds up its
reputation and traditions on the basis of its educational successes and pro-social
activities.
The University of Security takes personal responsibility for the quality and effects of
its education as well as the professional preparation of its students. Moreover, the
school prides itself on its exceptional concern for the level of qualifications and
professional development of its academic staff. WSB is also responsible for
advocating security and creating a model of safe life – to be achieved through the
cooperation with external agencies for which safety is of paramount importance.
10

to various challenges. It also understands and recognizes modern educational needs
– education compatible with the today’s labor market expectations. The school is
dedicated to developing and introducing innovative solutions which are beneficial to
students and the whole academic environment and whose purpose is to eliminate
educational passivity and negligence.
Therefore, the school’s mission is to:
• spread humanistic values;
• base education on professional knowledge and skills;
• propagate personal and public safety;
• educate for safety.
11
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF SECURITY
The University of Security is a truly European institution. Special emphasis is placed
on students’ personal development in order to allow them to fully participate in the
cultural life of our community.
The University of Security realizes its educational goals through:
• intensifying the didactic process;
• encouraging the collaboration between students and academic staff and the
external environment;
• teaching students how to successfully learn and self-improve;
• teaching students how to assume the responsibility for their own professional
career;
• educational flexibility with a special stress on professional specialization;

strategies.
12
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF SECURITY
As far as the didactic sphere is concerned, WSB follows the process of change by
adjusting its curriculum so that it contains modules indirectly concerned with
European and social issues. In addition, students, irrespective of which course they
choose, are obligated to take some of the so-called “European modules”. Thus, one
can argue, WSB graduates will be sufficiently knowledgeable about different
European issues. To emphasize the most important point, the educational process at
the University of Security is compatible with the most recent tendencies and
developments and conforms with the Bologna Process requirements.
13
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF SECURITY

outside the educational sector.
