Dear Sir or Madam,

Due to current regulations on preventing the spread of the coronavirus, introduced by the authorities of the University of Warsaw and state authorities, UW operates in a different mode.

Currently, we are working on conducting online classes for students and doctoral candidates. All UW students, doctoral candidates and employees have remote access to the collection of books and electronic magazines subscribed by UW. Central administration and faculty units and offices may have different working hours. The UW Office for Student Affairs and the UW International Relations Office remain in touch with the international long term students and the participants of mobility exchange programmes – both international students and employees being at UW, and UW students and employees abroad.

The situation is dynamic, decisions are made on a regular basis, according to the changing situation. We recommend you to follow the UW website, especially:

• Frequently asked questions;
• The University of Warsaw announcements on Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

We will keep you updated on the situation. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Best wishes,

Biological Sciences are a vibrant, dynamic field of research fundamental to the development of modern Medicine, Agriculture, Biomaterials, Renewable Energy and many more areas of human activity crucial to the Mankind’s future.

University of Warsaw was founded in 1816 and is Poland's largest and finest university.

The history of the Faculty of Biology is almost as long as that of the University of Warsaw, despite the fact that at the inception of the Royal University of Warsaw in 1816, none of the names its five Faculties referred to “Biology”. The natural sciences taught at the Faculty of Philosophical Skills were Geology, Zoology, Botany and Anthropology. The Botanical Garden was opened in 1817, in the Łazienki park under the tutelage of the pioneer in plant anatomy and morphology, Prof. Michał Szubert (1787-1860).
