On October 1, 2019 the University College of Social Sciences and Foreign Languages was reorganized and the Institute of Education and Communication Studies was established in its place. The College of Social Sciences and Foreign Languages was founded in November 2016 by merging the College of Foreign Languages with the College of Pedagogy, two units existing within the University since 2010 and 2013 respectively. Over 20 years of their educational activity in Gliwice, they developed their own brand and achieved recognition of high educational standards, associated with thorough preparation at the professional level.

The newly founded Institute continues the best traditions of former Colleges. The Institute provides an opportunity for continuous and effective growth due to our long-term experience and effectiveness, commitment of both former and current directors, as well as recognition of students and employees’ potential in academic environment. At present, the institution employs over 60 academic teachers and educates circa 700 students.
