The Academy of War Art is about to be converted into the University of National Security. “We are talking about a expression that will give a sense of building the cohesion of the state and preparing for various situations – crisis and war”, said Deputy Minister of Defence Stanisław Wzątek. MON prepares the funds needed to grow the university.

Information plans to transform the Academy of War Art into the University of National Security Minister Stanislaw Wąątek, on the occasion of signing an agreement at the university with the Ministry of abroad Affairs concerning the joint conduct of first degree studies in the field of civilian protection and civilian defence. He explained that the bill had already passed through the government's work programming squad and that it would be in the Sejm in a moment. “We are talking about a much broader expression that will give a sense of state cohesion and preparation for various situations – crisis and war”, said the deputy chief of the MON and added that the ministry is preparing the funds needed to grow the university.
Rector-commandant War Art Academy General Mieczysław Gocuł indicated that the transformation could take place soon. "It is not a substance of years, but alternatively months," said the general and stressed that the core of the change is not the name, but "the essence of the university's functioning", which must meet certain conditions, including offering 3 fields and six technological disciplines. We already carry out these tasks. We are creating a fresh field of safety engineering. We anticipate the State Accreditation Commission to accreditation this direction," said the Rector-Commander.
Gen. Mieczysław Gocul stressed that we are surviving in uncertain times in terms of the safety of the state, and those threats that were inactive possible yesterday are real today, which is why the academy must be restructured, responding to challenges that may come next day or the day after. due to the fact that as he stressed, the essence of the doctrine of the functioning of the university is the needs of the state. "And they are diametrically different from those that were yesterday," said the general, and indicated that the name "national security" itself is much wider than the state defence system. He besides recalled that there are as many types of safety as areas of social activity, and the university does not want to deal exclusively with the defence system.
