history

The history of the University of Warsaw dates back to 1816. A hundred years later, in 1917, the first political science school was established as part of the university. The beginnings of today's faculty can be traced back to the Institute for Political Science, which was founded in 1967 as part of the structure of the Philosophical Faculty. In 1975 the Faculty of Journalism and Political Science was founded, which over time expanded the research area to include foreign relations, social policy, European studies and internal security. In 2016, the faculty left the academics in journalism, which led to the fact that the name of the faculty was changed. Since 2019 WNPiSM has been working in a new structure in which 15 scientific departments and 2 research centers have been set up.
