The institution was founded in 1919 as Piast University and renamed in 1955 to honor Polish national poet Adam Mickiewicz. This name change reflected the poet's cultural importance to Polish identity and intellectual life.
The university library holds one of Europe's largest collections of Masonic texts and documents, offering researchers access to rare historical materials that illuminate European intellectual traditions.

The Słubice campus, known as Collegium Polonicum, sits directly on the Polish-German border and fosters close academic cooperation between scholars and students from both countries. This location is remarkable in Europe for how it enables cross-border research and exchange within the campus itself.
