Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Polish: Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu, Latin: Universitas Nicolai Copernici), founded in 1945, is a public research university in Toruń, Poland. It is named after Nicolaus Copernicus, the Renaissance astronomer and mathematician who was born in Toruń in 1473 and whose formulation of the heliocentric model of the solar system is regarded as a landmark in the development of modern science. Its operation refers both to the life’s work and attitude of its patron, and to the academic heritage of the former Stefan Batory University in Vilnius and John Casimir University in Lviv
The university consists of over 17 faculties, including biology, chemistry, earth sciences, physics, astronomy and informatics, mathematics and computer science, law and administration, economic sciences and management, political science and international studies, philosophy and social sciences, history, languages and applied linguistics, Polish philology, fine arts, education sciences, and theology, as well as the Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, which includes the faculties of medicine, pharmacy, and health sciences.
