About the University and the Faculty

Adam Mickiewicz University
Founded in 1919, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (AMU) is one of Poland’s oldest and largest universities. It comprises 21 faculties grouped into five discipline schools: School of Natural Sciences, School of Humanities, School of Social Sciences, School of Languages and Literatures, and School of Exact Sciences. AMU offers 80 majors, educating today over 31,000 students. The University employs about 3,000 researchers, of which approximately 1,300 are professors.

Faculty of Human Geography and Planning
The history of the Faculty dates back to 1981, when a joint faculty was established, combining human geography and Earth sciences. In 2019, the Institute of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management was transformed into an independent unit, the Faculty of Human Geography and Planning, with 90 staff members and doctoral students. The research projects carried out at the Faculty cover, e.g., changes in socio-economic structures in Poland and Europe under conditions of globalization and international integration; transformation of cities, metropolises and metropolitan areas in Poland and Europe; contemporary determinants, mechanisms and trends in the development of cities and regions; human spatial behavior in the urban environment; ecosystem services; social inequalities and public participation in development processes. The Faculty members take part in international and national research projects financed under Horizon 2020 and Polish institutions, such as the National Science Centre and National Centre for Research and Development. The Faculty educates nearly 600 students in such majors as geography, spatial management and integrated development planning.
