Five students from Wrocław University of Science and Technology, including two from our Faculty: a rower Zuzanna Jasińska and an archer Miłosz Chojecki, qualified for the third edition of the Polish Academic Team program. In effect it will be easier for them to combine education with a sports career.

The project involves the co-financing of additional classes for students pursuing a sports career. The study program is organized in the form of an individual course of study throughout the calendar year in accordance with the planned number of additional hours for a given student.

The program is open to public and private universities with at least 200 full-time students, among which there are Olympic training players, medallists of the Olympic Games, European Games, Senior World Championships and Senior European Championships, University Olympic Games and Academic World Championships, as well as students-athletes with disabilities, including the hearing impaired and students-athletes with sports classification – international championship and championship.

A total of 562 people from 38 universities will benefit from this support in the current third edition of the program. This group also includes students from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. They are:
