Wrocław Medical University is an increasingly attractive place for people from abroad. According to estimates, each year the university hosts about 1.7 thousand foreigners and this number is constantly growing. The group of visitors include: students, Erasmus+ scholarship holders and employees of other universities from around the world. Hence we wished to create a place of comprehensive support for foreigners located on our campus.

The Welcome Centre is also a university hub for student and employee initiatives, supporting integration and openness to the multiculturalism of the academic community and discovering its potential.

The Welcome Centre is located on the ground floor of the Centre for Scientific Medical Information (CNIM) at 2-6 Marcinkowskiego Street and is open from Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 15:00.
