The Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG) is a leading medical university in Poland, known for its commitment to excellence in healthcare education and research. Located in Gdańsk, northern Poland, on the Baltic Sea Coast, it offers diverse programs across four main faculties: Medicine, Pharmacy, Health Sciences, and the Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology, in collaboration with the University of Gdańsk. The university educates over 6,000 students, including nearly 1,000 international students in its English-language programs.
The MUG stands out for its modern infrastructure, including a University Clinical Center, state of the art hospital complex,. A leading university in its countries, this institution also holds the title of Research University, granted by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education – something which has been awarded to only ten institutions in Poland.
Students of the MUG benefit from access to advanced medical technologies, extensive library resources, and dynamic student organisations that enhance academic and extracurricular experiences.
The idea of creating close collaborations with other institutions is strong and important for Medical University of Gdansk. Already in 2020, the MUG established The Fahrenheit Union of Universities in Gdańsk, together with University of Gdansk and Gdansk University of Technology (FarU). Jointly, FarU represents all three universities as one of the most prominent higher education establishments in the country. This is why joining the international alliance, the Applied, Connected, Entrepreneurial and Engaged – European University (ACE²-EU), was natural for MUG. Within it, we plan to take our best practices in teaching to an international level, while also co-creating cutting-edge opportunities for our students. In alliance, we plan to develop our teaching, research and administrative staff. We are very open to innovation in all areas covered by ACE²-EU activities.
Being part of ACE2-EU, I expect the alliances to foster a collaborative environment where shared expertise drives impactful outcomes. In my view, our participation in the ACE2-EU alliance offers a chance to advance our institution in education and innovation while driving cultural change. This collaboration has potential to enhance our academic capabilities, inspire transformation, and strengthen our international presence.
