On November 6, 2025, the University of Pécs held a ceremonial senate meeting to award an honorary doctorate to Prof. Dr. Boguslaw Przywora.
Boguslaw Przywora has been a scholarship holder and visiting professor at numerous prestigious foreign universities and research institutes. In addition to his scientific work, he also applies his theoretical knowledge in legal practice as a member of the Krakow Regional Bar Association. While also serving as a legal expert to the lower house of the Polish parliament (the Sejm) for many years. He is one of the most renowned authorities in his field, who has also helped criminal law lecturers at the University of Pécs Faculty of Law to participate in research at the University of Częstochowa.
His research work spans various areas of law, covering almost all fundamental rights, including constitutional law and administrative law, from the legal regulation of organ transplants to issues of normativity in banking law. As the head of an interdisciplinary deradicalisation research center, he has led and continues to lead multidisciplinary research projects. He has carried out several internationally recognised successful research projects. He belongs to the camp of public lawyers who strive to maintain a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge.

His professional intelligence, humor, and helpfulness are irreplaceable, said László Kőhalmi, professor and head of the Department of Criminology and Penitentiary Law at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, describing Boguslaw Przywora's professional work and public activities.
Proposal for the Senate meeting on March 27, 2025

He is the president of the Interdisciplinary Deradicalisation Research Centre, so further joint research activities are expected, e.g., combating terrorism, preventing the radicalisation of young people, and new trends in medical law.

He is one of the most renowned authorities in his field and awarding him an honorary doctorate would rightly enhance the academic reputation of the Faculty of Law and the University.
