| Wroclaw is often called ‘the magic city’ and it really is a jewel among Polish cities. It is located between branches of the slow running Odra River, which forms twelve islands. More than 100 bridges bind the city together. The Old Town is the biggest of all in Poland and is probably the most beautiful. The heart of the Old Town is the Square where today, as before, the biggest banks, the most expensive shops and the best restaurants are situated. The buildings surrounding the Square are recognised as particularly fine examples of gothic and renaissance architecture. The city has a thousand years of history. Its strategic location between branches of the river was utilised in the Middle Ages when Wroclaw was turned into a fortress. It has changed hands many times, developing under both Polish and German rulers. At the end of the Second World War, 70% of the town was destroyed. A great effort was needed to rebuild and reconstruct Wroclaw, but now the city of 650,000 inhabitants is an excellent example of a multicultural metropolis ready to organise Expo 2010.
Wroclaw has a great tradition as an academic and research centre. Ten Nobel Prize winners in various fields have been associated with the University of Wroclaw during the 300 years of its existence. Also many famous doctors lived and worked in Wroclaw, such as Alois Alzheimer neurologist and psychiatrist, who presented his findings regarding degeneration of the brain cortex (Alzheimer’s Disease), Robert Koch creator of modern bacteriology (Nobel Prize in 1905), and Paul Ehrlich pioneer of present chemotherapy (Nobel Prize in 1908).
Wroclaw is currently Poland’s third largest centre of higher education in all fields. Wroclaw Medical University offers 3.5 thousand student places in its Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public Health and Postgraduate Medical Training.
Wroclaw Medical University co-operates with other universities abroad. There is a wide exchange of students and teaching staff within the Socrates/Erasmus programme with 22 universities in Europe.
The Medical University also provides a six-year programme of medicine, and a five-year programme of Dentistry in English. The studies are adapted to the common European programme, in keeping with the European admission standards for medical education. Teaching is carried out by a team of highly educated specialists in tutorial groups of 1012 students in the theoretical subjects and 45 students during bedside teaching. The university has its own campus and offers a room equipped to a higher than average standard.
The city is well connected nationally and internationally by rail, motorways, and a modern international airport located just six kilometres from the city, providing easy daily access to Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, Copenhagen, and other Polish cities. Inter City and Inter Euro trains go daily to Berlin, Warsaw and many other big cities in Poland and abroad. There are bus connections from Oslo, Gothenburg or Stockholm.
