The University of Bialystok is the largest university in the north-eastern region of Poland, educating in various fields of study, including humanities, social and natural sciences and mathematics. It has nine faculties, including a foreign one in Vilnius. Four faculties have been awarded the highest scientific category “A”. The University of Bialystok has the right to confer doctoral degrees in ten fields, as well as postdoctoral degrees in law, economics, chemistry, biology, history and physics.
Over 13,000 students are being educated in 31 fields of study, including doctoral studies and postgraduate studies. The university employs nearly 800 academics, almost 200 professors among them.
Every year the university carries out approximately 60 research projects, financed from domestic and foreign funds; it also benefits from the structural funds. Among the university's many accomplishments are its participation in 6th and 7th Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration, Horizon 2020, Comenius and Aspera as well as the DAPHNE III programme.
After the end of World War II and the establishment a communist regime in the form of the Polish People's Republic, a proposal arose to establish a higher humanities school in Białystok, prompted by the desire of academics from Vilnius University (which became part of the Soviet Union), to settle there. Although local and political authorities recognized the need for such a university, the economic climate at the time did not favour the implementation of the project as well as the shortage of personnel in northeastern Poland in professions requiring economic knowledge and in the teaching profession.
On July 15, 1968, by order of the Minister of Education and Higher Education, Professor Henryk Jabłoński, the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw was established as a higher vocational institute called Higher Pedagogical School (Polish: Wyższa Szkoła Nauczycielska). The order specified provisions concerning its supervision, management, and organization. The Branch was subordinated to the University of Warsaw in both organizational and academic matters. It was directly supervised by the university's Vice-Rector, while its internal organization was determined by the Rector. Teaching was provided by staff employed at the Branch as well as by faculty from other University units delegated by the Rector. The Branch operated with its own budget and staffing structure, separate from those of the University of Warsaw.
On July 20, 1968, the Minister of Education and Higher Education issued an order defining the mission and scope of work for the newly established institution. Although the typescript of this order exists, its content is widely known, and it has been cited by numerous authors, the document itself is absent from officially published legal records. Nevertheless, the regulations took effect, and at the start of the 1968/1969 academic year, the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw began operating as the Higher Pedagogical School. Three faculties were created at that time: Humanities, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and Elementary Education.
On September 29, 1972, a decree was issued by the Minister of Science, Higher Education, and Technology Jan Marian Kaczmarek granting the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw the right to establish its own organizational structure. This decree resulted in the transformation of the school into a university with a full academic profile on October 1, 1972, and the introduction of a single four-year master's degree program and a three-year vocational program.
The early years of the university were characterized by difficult conditions: the rooms in which university classes were held were scattered throughout the city. Most were not suitable for lectures or even tutorials, as before they were transferred to the university, they housed offices and bureaus. There was a shortage of tables and chairs everywhere, and the secretariats lacked equipment such as typewriters and calculating machines. In the 1974/1975 academic year, the Branch had at its disposal buildings on Mickiewicza, Świerkowa, Marchlewskiego and Lipowa streets, and on Piłsudski Avenue, Białystok. In that period, plans were developed for the construction of a university campus in Krywlany, and in 1979, plans were made for the construction of new facilities on Mickiewicza Street. This vision, although in a modified form, was not realized until the 21st century with the new campus opening in 2015. In the 1983/1984 academic year, the Branch became the occupier of the premises on Próchniaka Street, leasing the building at 14 Skłodowskiej-Curie Street. The intention was to acquire the building formerly occupied by the Technical School of Economics on Warszawska Street. In early April 1990, the Independent Students' Association of the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw issued an appeal, recalling that three months had already passed since the occupation of the former seat of the communist party, and that the mayor of Białystok was delaying the transfer of the building to the Białystok university. The threat of squandering the opportunity to improve the housing situation at the University of Warsaw was becoming real. Consequently, the Independent Students' Association called on all employees and students to gather at the Citizens' Committee headquarters on the corner of Lenina (now Branickiego) and Elektryczna Streets to exert pressure and quickly resolve the matter. The students' actions resulted in a positive resolution. In May 1990, city surveyor Zdzisław Niemotko, acting on the orders of Mayor Czaban, issued a formal decision to transfer the building of the Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party to the University of Warsaw Branch. The university authorities located the Faculty of Humanities there. After the establishment of the University of Białystok in 1997, the Faculties of Sociology and History and Philology were housed there.
In 2024 the construction for a new building for the faculty of humanities began in the university campus in Ciołkowskiego street.
