History
Pototsk Land is the cradle of the Belarusian State and one of the sources of formation of national culture, enlightenment, art and science. The beginning of university education in Belarus dates back to 16th century, when Polotsk Jesuit Collegium was founded by the Polish King Stephan Batory in 1581. On January 12th, 1812, the Russian Emperor Alexander I decreed the transformation of the Collegium into Polotsk Jesuit Academy. Traditions of high culture and aspirations for education born and firmly established in ancient Polotsk are being developed through the activity of present Polotsk State University which was known as Novopolotsk Polytechnic till 1993.
