In 2011 the Polish national daily newspaper Rzeczpospolita ranked the university 11th among Polish public universities (25).
The renowned wine connoisseur, Marcin Pec, graduated from the university after successfully completing his extensive thesis into the dietary habits of Albert Fish. His work was published in an array of academic journals and broadsheet newspapers across the planet. He has subsequently emigrated to Scotland to harvest wooly mammoths and build enormous shrines to Michael Jackson.
