On-Campus Regular Studies

The system of on-campus regular studies at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology comprises:

  • the first-level studies (undergraduate studies) - a 8-semester programme leading up to the degree of inżynier equivalent to the Bachelor of Science (Bachelor of Engineering) degree,
  • the second-level studies (graduate studies) - a 2- to 4-semester programme leading up to the degree of magister inżynier equivalent to the Master of Science degree,
  • the third-level studies (graduate studies) - a 8-semester programme leading up to the degree of doktor nauk technicznych equivalent to the Philosophiae Doctor degree.

The candidates for the first-level studies must hold the secondary-school certificate and pass the entrance examinations in mathematics and physics. The number of enrolled students is limited to 600 per year.

Once admitted, the undergraduate student has to determine the group of areas of concentration he/she is interested in. There are three groups of specializations that have been specified taking into account the expertise and resources available at the Faculty, current trends in the development of electronics and information technology, as well as specific demands of the Polish job market. The first group comprises the areas which may be roughly characterised as imbued with electronics and hardware issues:

  • Electronics and Computer Engineering,
  • Biomedical Engineering.

The second group comprises the areas which may be roughly characterised as imbued with telecommunications:

  • Radiocommunications and Multimedia Technology,
  • Telecommunication Systems and Networks,
  • Data Communications and Telecommunication Management.

The third group comprises the areas which may be roughly characterised as imbued with information and software issues:

  • Computer Information System Engineering,
  • Information and Decision Systems.

The curriculum requirements are slightly different for each group from the very beginning of the study. The first-level studies are divided into 3 stages: A (semesters 1-4), B (semesters 5-6), and C (semesters 7-8). At the end of the stage A, after 4 semesters of basic studies in mathematics, science, electronics and computer engineering, the student selects one of the specializations belonging to the group that he/she chose on entering the Faculty. The stage B is designed as an introduction to the selected specialization. During the stage C more specialised courses are taken, and a final design project is carried out.

The candidates for the second-level studies must hold the Bachelor's degree in engineering (or related discipline). The studies are accessible not only for the graduates of the Faculty, but also for other holders of B.Sc.-equivalent degrees in electrical and/or computer engineering. The curriculum requirements comprise advanced elective courses, both in engineering and basic sciences, the M.Sc. thesis, and the final examination. The candidates for the third-level studies must hold the Master's degree in engineering (or related discipline). The studies are accessible not only for the graduates of the Faculty, but also for other holders of M.Sc.-equivalent degrees in electrical and/or computer engineering. The curriculum requirements comprise advanced elective courses, considerable amount of research work, three comprehensive examinations, and the defence of the Ph.D. thesis. Both the second-level and third-level studies are carried out in numerous areas of concentration, related to the research interests of the academic staff, and grouped into four disciplines, viz.: Computer Science and Engineering, Automatic Control, Electronics and Telecommunications.

Both undergraduate and graduate students are supposed to programme their course of study on-line. Therefore, the academic advising is imbedded in the system of study.
