The University has its roots in the academic traditions of Poznań, which were initiated by the Lubrański Academy in the 16th century and the College of the Society of Jesus, which was raised to the rank of a university by the acts of Polish monarchs in 1611 and 1678 respectively.

The development of the university was stopped during the gloomy years of national bondage. However, when independence was regained in 1918, on May 7, 1919, on the initiative of the members of the Poznań Society of the Friends of Science, founded in 1857, with the support of the local Polish authorities, the university was restored.

Initially, the University was called Wszechnica Piastowska [Piast University]. In 1920 it was renamed the University of Poznań and in 1955 it was named after the great Polish Romantic poet, Adam Mickiewicz.

To this day, the University is guided by the same goals on which it was founded, reflected in the words of one of its founders:

"Dreams and longings of generations come true, we participate in political and state freedom, and at the same time, according to the noble memory of our fathers' principles that only an enlightened nation can be free, the concern for the enlightenment of the nation is one of the first concerns of the reviving Poland".
