Poniżej przedstawiam zdjęcia z Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Londynie (budynki POSK i Ognisko Polskie) i Krakowie (budynki Collegium Maius, Collegium Novum). Od 2012 roku uczęszczam na seminarium doktoranckie PON UJ w Londynie. Obecnie przygotowuję rozprawę doktorską na temat popularności politycznej w krajach anglojęzycznych.

From Wikipedia:
The Jagiellonian University (Polish: Uniwersytet Jagielloński [uniˈvɛrsɨtɛt jaɡiɛllˈɔɲski], often shortened to UJ; historical names include Latin: Studium Generale, University of Kraków, Kraków Academy, The Main Crown School, and Main School of Kraków) was established in 1364 by Casimir III the Great in Kazimierz (district of Kraków). It is the oldest university in Poland, the second oldest university in Central Europe and one of the oldest universities in the world. It was positioned by QS World University Rankings as the best Polish university among the world’s top 500 and the ARWU as second-best Polish higher-level institution.
The university fell upon hard times when the occupation of Kraków by Austria-Hungary during the Partitions of Poland threatened its existence. In 1817, soon after the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw the university renamed as Jagiellonian University to commemorate Poland’s Jagiellonian dynasty, which first revived the Kraków University in the past.[1] In 2006, The Times Higher Education Supplement ranked Jagiellonian University as Poland’s top university.[2]
The university’s main library, the Jagiellonian Library (Biblioteka Jagiellońska), is one of Poland’s largest, with almost 6.5 million volumes; it is a constituent of the Polish National Libraries system.[7] It is home to a world renowned collection of medieval manuscripts,[8] which includes Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus and the Balthasar Behem Codex. The library also has an extensive collection of underground political literature (so-called drugi obieg or samizdat) from Poland’s period of Communist rule between 1945 and 1989.
