The Poznan Academy of Fine Arts has been in existence for over 80 years. It was established in 1919 as the School of Decorative Arts and was later transformed into the State Institute of Art.
In 1946 it was renamed the State Higher School of Fine Arts. In September 1996 the school obtained the status of an Academy and was once again renamed the Poznan Academy of Fine Arts.
The frequent changes of the school's name resulted from the continuous development of its structure and faculties as well as a tradition of an Academy that is subject to ongoing transformation, a tradition of being open to the quest for artistic and intellectual values. The school has always been a melting-pot for various concepts and many disciplines of art, from classical to contemporary, and never has a single artistic, designing or aesthetic doctrine been allowed to prevail.

The University of Granada takes an active part in the European Union's university programmes, both in the mobility of teachers and students as well as research. Programmes are coordinated from the Office of International Relations, and aimed at EU countries and other geographical areas (Latin America, Eastern Europe, North Africa, etc.). By way of bilateral or specific agreements between groups of universities, it has traditionally collaborated with universities from these geographical areas as well as with the USA, Japan, China, Israel, Canada, Australia, Benin, Asian countries from the former USSR, Palestine, Australia, etc., university associations such as the Coimbra Group, the AUIP, ISTEC, ATEI, etc. Although the three most intense areas of cooperation, as might be expected for a country such as Spain and a University with the tradition of Granada, are the European Union, Latin America and the Magreb, of no lesser importance are the lines of collaboration which exist with the countries mentioned above. As a result of this cooperation, the University of Granada receives more than 8,000 lecturers, students and university administrators each year from all over the world, who attend Spanish classes, regular courses (around 5% of registration numbers), teach, collaborate with research groups, etc.
