Founded in 1951 as the Military Technical Academy, the Military University of Technology (Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna) received the name of Jarosław Dąbrowski through a decree issued in the same year, and its full Polish title still carries it. The institution is a military university based in Warsaw.
Its legal basis is a statute of 22 March 1951 on the creation of the academy, and a decree of 18 July 1951 fixed the full name as Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna imienia Jarosława Dąbrowskiego. The same name, with the namesake’s surname, appears in a 2025 programme evaluation report of the Polish Accreditation Committee.
Applicants can find programme lists, admission rules and tuition information on the university’s official website and on the Study in Poland portal run by the Polish authorities.
