The War Studies University (Polish: Akademia Sztuki Wojennej; ASzWoj[2]) is the highest military academic institution in Poland.

Minister of National Defence Wojciech Fałkowski explained that the reorganization of the academy was inspired by the need to improve the proportion of military students in the university's overall profile.

[3] ASzWoj and its forerunners including Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna Academy of 1919, have influenced other institutions through its age and distinctive mission.

ASzWoj traces its roots to 1765 when King Stanisław August Poniatowski established the Corps of Cadets, the first state school in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

ASzWoj is funded by the Ministry of National Defence, and cooperates with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
