Polish University Abroad

Polish University Abroad

The Polish University Abroad or Polish University in Exile ( _pl. Polski Uniwersytet na Obczyźnie - PUNO) was initially established in Paris in 1939 with the aim of maintaining Polish education while Poland was occupied. With the fall of France it was re-established by the Polish government in exile in London.

The Polish University Abroad in London is based in Hammersmith, has a B.A. programme, outposts in Paris, France and Munich, Germany and does research.
