Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw (Polish: Uniwersytet Kardynała Stefana Wyszyńskiego w Warszawie, or UKSW) is a public university in Poland that combines academic excellence with a foundation in Catholic values. Established in 1999, it evolved from the former Academy of Catholic Theology (founded in 1954) and is named after the influential Polish cardinal Stefan Wyszyński. UKSW offers a broad range of programs across 12 faculties—including law, medicine, psychology, philosophy, natural sciences, and theology—serving around 10,000 students. With campuses in Bielany (Dewajtis), Młociny (Wóycickiego), and a modern research center in Dziekanów Leśny, the university emphasizes both tradition and innovation. It is recognized for its interdisciplinary research, international cooperation, and unique status—some faculties operate under both state and ecclesiastical oversight, reflecting its dual academic and religious identity.
