The history of the Institute of Physics at the Silesian University of Technology starts with the foundation of Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in 1969. First, the Chair of Technical Physics was established by unifying two existing Chairs of Physics in other Faculties.

The first Head of the newly constituted structure was Professor Franciszek Kuczera, PhD. The Chair provided education in physics for all engineering students at the University.

In 1971, the Chair of Technical Physics was transformed into the Institute of Physics.
