The Law on Higher Education in Poland allows relevant Church authorities to run and supervise faculties of theology at state colleges and universities nationwide with regard to the teaching of Roman Catholic theology.

The Faculty of Theology at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan is thus supervised by the current Archbishop of Poznań who acts in his capacity as the Grand Chancellor of the Faculty and on behalf of the Apostolic See in the Vatican, confirms the right to teach in the name of the Roman Catholic Church.
