Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (Polish: Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana

Wyszyńskiego w Warszawie) is a state university in Warsaw. It was founded in 1999, and it is named
after Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński of Poland.[3] It offers religious studies at the faculties of theology, Canon
law and Christian philosophy under the patronage of Archbishop of Warsaw issuing permits (missio
canonica) to academic staff at those faculties. The secular studies with particular sensitivity to Christian
values fall under the Ministry of Education.[4]
History
The university traces its history to Warsaw Theological Academy (Akademia Teologii Katolickiej),
created by the Polish communist government after it has closed down the theology departments at
University of Warsaw and Jagiellonian University. The academy did not receive full acceptance from
Roman Catholic Church in Poland until the fall of communism in 1989 removed state control over the
institution. In 1999 the academy was transformed into the current university.

The university consists of two main campuses in Warsaw's northern districts. The old one at Bielany and
the new one at Mlociny, which mostly houses arts and humanities faculties.
