FLAE UWr on the podium in the ranking of Gazeta Prawna!

In the category of quality and strength of education, FLAE UWr is first in Poland. A place among the top law faculties is a huge success, achieved thanks to the staff, doctoral students and students of FLAE UWr.

Among non-public universities, Lazarski University in Warsaw is the leader, followed by Kozminski University in Warsaw in second place and Kujawsko-Pomorska University in Bydgoszcz in third place.
Law faculties are evaluated based on a wide variety of indicators in four categories: staffing, quality and strength of education, requirements for students and quality of graduates, and pass rate for legal applications. Analyzing the ranking methodology, it can be seen that in the category of quality and strength of education FLAE UWr won the first place in Poland.
