We are becoming a FULL UNIVERSITY!
As of 1 June 2023, Pomeranian University in Słupsk will transform into a full university. The status upgrade follows very high results obtained in the 2021 evaluation of research output. This is a historic moment for the entire academic community, our local environment and the entire region.
Made legally-binding at the turn of 2022/2023, the evaluation results obtained by researchers of our University have granted us the right to confer doctor (PhD) and habilitated doctor degrees in seven research disciplines, that is: legal sciences, medical sciences, security sciences, history, biology, literature and linguistics. According to the law on higher education, to transform into a full university, the institution must obtain the right to confer the said degrees in six disciplines (within 3 distinct areas of studies).
A few weeks after the release of the results by the Ministry of Education and Science, Rector of Pomeranian University in Słupsk, professor Zbigniew Osadowski, initiated the procedure of transformation into a full university. The decision in this respect rests upon the lawmaker. Our dreams materialised on 9 March 2023 when the Sejm, i.e. the lower chamber of the Polish Parliament, passed an appropriate law.
This wonderful success is a result of hard work of generations of researchers, academic teachers, students and administrative staff as well as all friends and supporters of our University. They all deserve proper acknowledgement and the most beautiful words of gratitude.
