University College of Professional Education, based in Wroclaw, is a dynamically developing institution that for many years has been focusing on educational innovation and adapting its programs to the evolving needs of students. As a part of our continuous development, we have decided to change its official English name. As of September 11, 2024, in international affairs we are officially known as the University College of Professional Education. What prompted this change, and what benefits will it bring to both current and future students? Read this article and find out!
Why are we changing our English name?
The decision to adopt the name University College of Professional Education stems from the need to better align our institution with international academic standards. The new name more accurately reflects the nature of our educational mission and highlights the emphasis on developing skills essential in today’s job market—a characteristic that has long defined our institution.
This change also marks a step towards greater international recognition. With an increasing number of international students choosing to study in Poland, it is crucial that our institution’s name is clear and easily understood by individuals from different countries.
Stronger recognition
In the academic world, an institution’s name plays a significant role. The new name—University College of Professional Education—clearly defines our institution’s educational profile, emphasizing our strong focus on gaining professional knowledge and developing useful skills. It also enhances our visibility in international rankings and academic databases.
What does this change mean for our students?
For our current students and alumni, the name change does not imply any complications—all previously issued diplomas and certificates remain valid. The new name has already been incorporated into official documents and informational materials issued after September 11, 2024, replacing the previous name wherever applicable.
For future students, this update serves as proof that our institution is continuously evolving and aligning itself with global educational standards. It is also a part of a broader development strategy, which includes expanding our academic offerings, strengthening collaborations with international universities, and integrating new learning methods.
Our commitment to continuous development
The recent change marks an important milestone for us, but it is just one aspect of the ongoing progress. Our goal is to create an even more welcoming and accessible learning environment for both Polish and international students. We are working towards this by:
- introducing new academic programs tailored to the current job market needs;
- expanding cooperation with international universities;
- implementing modern educational technologies;
- enhancing accessibility for international students through offer customisation and improved support systems.
We are confident that University College of Professional Education is a name that best represents our mission and values. We sincerely thank all our students, alumni, and faculty members for their contribution towards creating a thriving academic community!
