Cieszyn Campus consists of didactic and sport facilities (swimming pool, gyms, ballet hall, pitches) as well as a library branch and, obviously, social facilities such as two student residence halls, student canteen and “Panopticum” Student Club. The whole Campus is located in a beautiful park consisting of didactic facilities equipped with lecture halls, classrooms and laboratories, library branch, sport facilities and two student residence halls. The “stone’s throw” distances of up to several hundred metres allow for a leisurely walk between the facilities.

In turn, the centre, with its beautiful market square and numerous flower shops, can be reached in 15 minutes by foot.
