- The article has two aims - first, to discuss changes in the Polish higher education system, and secondly, to investigate the role of university in developing environmental awareness in relation to this transformation. Particularly, the author focuses on a selected group of students as representatives of a region. Environmental sustainability is a crucial and contemporarily relevant issue, which attracts attention of both institutions and individuals. The state formulates laws and administrative regulations and procedures aimed at sustaining the natural environment. These instruments are often mentioned together with instruments of social influence, which include educational measures. Thus, universities can play an important role in their regions. They are a part of the system affecting their environment. The transformation they are undergoing poses a question concerning their social function, which comprises dissemination of environmental knowledge and fostering environmental awareness among both external and internal stakeholders. An analysis of the literature indicates that the transformation of Polish university does not exclude its social mission, which includes dissemination of environmental knowledge. The results of the survey conducted among a selected group of students indicate the need for such educational. University educates prospective workers, managers, entrepreneurs, whose environmental awareness will have a significant impact.
