AGH University of Krakow

The AGH University of Krakow is a modern state university which develops collaboration with colleges and universities in Poland, Europe, and all over the world. The university’s priority is the accomplishment of tasks and projects that are part of the knowledge triangle: education – scientific research – innovations. The AGH University is a technical university where exact sciences are strongly represented, and where they constitute basis for the development of a wide spectrum of applied sciences at a gradually increasing role of social sciences and humanities. In line with global trends, we create new branches of study, but at the same time we keep the conventional ones, which are indispensable for a proper development of science, technology, and the economy of our country.

The educational offer comprises 76 fields of study within first-cycle programmes, and over 50 fields of study within second-cycle programmes, offered by 17 faculties. AGH University offers unique, often interdisciplinary studies which can be tailored to individual needs. Every year, the university launches new fields of study whose programmes take into account the needs of the labour market, which arise from the economic transformations and the demand for highly-qualified specialists. A high demand for engineers is a reason why university graduates are often competed for by employers, who offer them excellent conditions of employment.

The AGH University offers studies at three levels (cycles) of education:

• bachelor’s degree (6–7 semesters),
• master’s degree (3–4 semesters),
• doctoral studies – prepare students to teach and conduct independent research, and lead to awarding a doctor’s degree.

Caring about the competitiveness of our offer on the international education market we develop teaching in foreign languages.

AGH University of Krakow offers nearly 90 postgraduate courses aimed at both professional engineers (programmes in the fields of ceramics, electrical engineering, power engineering, gas engineering, geodesy, geophysics, mining, computer science, mechatronics, metallurgy, robotics, telecommunications, financial engineering), as well as people who are interested in obtaining a new specialisation, for example, in the field of digital marketing, computer science and computer graphics, cybersecurity, environmental protection, accounting and controlling, occupational health and safety (OHS), property valuation and management, as well as project, business, IT, quality, and sales management. A new and particularly interesting part of the educational offer are postgraduate courses in the field of corporate branding, personal branding, talent management, designing a product, as well as in the area of social communication and social media.

Campus

A unique feature of our campus, compared to other Polish universities, is primarily the fact that the teaching and research facilities, the main offices of faculties, administration and student organisations, as well as the AGH University Student Campus with all its clubs, sports, and recreation facilities are all located in one district of the city, creating a 40-hectare hub nestled in the heart of Krakow. It is only a 15-minute walk between the Main Building and the Krakow Main Square.
