What akademia zamojska does

Akademia Zamojska is a public higher education institution located in Zamość, in the Lublin Voivodeship of eastern Poland. It was originally established as Państwowa Wyższa Szkoła Zawodowa w Zamościu, later renamed Uczelnia Państwowa im. Szymona Szymonowica w Zamościu (UPZ), and rebranded to Akademia Zamojska in 2019 when it received academic university status with rights to award master's degrees in selected disciplines. The institution operates three faculties: the Faculty of Health Sciences (Wydział Nauk o Zdrowiu), the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (Wydział Nauk Społecznych i Humanistycznych), and the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (Wydział Techniczno-Informatyczny), offering undergraduate (bachelor's and engineer's), master's, postgraduate, and continuing education programs.

The institution's technical infrastructure centers on a digital learning stack including Moodle and Eduportal LMS platforms, the Wirtualna Uczelnia (Virtual University) student administration platform, and the IRK online application system. Physical infrastructure includes the Monoprofile Medical Simulation Center for nursing education (completed in 2021), engineering laboratories at the Research and Technology Transfer Centre equipped with CNC machines and 3D printers, and a National Security Laboratory with a laser shooting simulator. Akademia Zamojska also operates a publishing house, Wydawnictwo OFFICINA SIMONIDIS, which produces scientific monographs and journals (including Facta Simonidis, indexed in ERIH PLUS).

The business model is primarily state-funded: full-time (stationary) programs are tuition-free for Polish and EU students under Polish public higher education law, with revenue derived from the Polish state budget and EU project funding. Supplementary fee-based revenue is generated through part-time (non-stationary) studies, postgraduate programs, professional training (offered through Akademickie Centrum Edukacji / ACE), and specialized nursing/midwifery continuing education (through Ośrodek Kształcenia Podyplomowego Pielęgniarek i Położnych / OKPPiP). The primary customer segments are Polish higher education students in eastern Poland, working professionals seeking continuing education, and healthcare professionals (nurses and midwives) pursuing mandatory continuing education credits. Distribution is direct through on-campus delivery at multiple Zamość locations and self-serve online registration via the IRK system.
