BSc Automation and Robotics, Electronics and Telecommunications, Informatics (interdisciplinary) Bachelor of Science 3.5 years / 7 semesters During the first semesters of BSc studies, students obtain thorough education in mathematics, physics, basics of computer sciences and basic technical sciences: electrical engineering, control theory, electronics, metrology,computer programming, microprocessor systems, databases, computer networks, artificial intelligence and computer vision systems. Attention is paid on solving practical engineering problems, integration of knowledge with team-work and leading skills. Alumnus acquires skills in using up to date tools of engineering workshop, in particular CAD and automated design computer measurements systems, as well as skills in accessing information in scientific databases. Graduate's profile: Graduates of the course have possessed knowledge in mathematics, physics, theory of computer science and engineering sciences, electrical engineering, control theory, microprocessing systems, databases, computer systems and artificial intelligence. Thanks to the knowledge of professional, the graduates are prepared to work both in Poland and worldwide, finding employment as designers and users of automation systems and robotic technology and machine intelligence. Skills learnt allow the alumni to work as programists (informaticians), specializing in databases design and computer distributed systems. They are also prepared to creative work in the field of construction engineering and electronic components, hardware and utility for electronic equipment used in the telecommunications equipment, measurement, regulatory and in medical technology. A graduate of the interdisciplinary course receives the diploma in chosen specialisation, i.e. one of from computer science, automation & robotics or electronics & telecommunications. Such a diploma is an equivalent to a diploma obtained by graduates of classical (not interdisciplinary) studies in similar fields.

Diploma) for Master s studies. All documents submitted to the Silesian University of Technology must be in or translated into Polish (by a sworn translator). The documents must contain a clause confirming that their holders have access to higher education institutions in their own countries. According to the Regulation of the Ministry of Education and Science on the Nostrification of School Certificates and Maturity Certificates Obtained Abroad, any foreign school certificate must be legalized in the country in which it was issued. You can contact the diplomatic post in your country (Polish embassy or consulate) which will be able to help you and provide with relevant information. The required documents should be sent to our university. They will be presented to the Polish educational inspectorate in order to be nostrified. For more information students should contact the Polish Embassy in their country or contact our Admission Office. The students must meet SUT minimum academic entry requirements to gain admission to our courses. Admission criteria mathematics and additional disciplines to be chosen from extended mathematics, physics and astronomy, chemistry, biology, computer science.

BSc Energy Engineering Bachelor of Science 3.5 years / 7 semesters Graduates will possess broad knowledge of energy generation and the newest energy technologies, knowing the possibilities and modern state of art in the practical use of solar, wind, hydro- and geothermal energy. They will be able to work on solutions of problems dealing with the increasing need for energy in cities, neighbourhoods and single houses. They will also have knowledge of diagnosis and operation of machines and equipment as well as the principles of energy management in large industrial plants, small business and communities. Graduates will be prepared to work in companies operating in the field of energy systems and facilities related to the production, processing, transmission and distribution of energy like power stations, power plants and many other facilities in the fields of energy-related problems. They may also be specialists in the energy issues in the local government units. The EU needs specialists in the Clean Coal Technologies area as: coal is an abundant energy resource; is available at a fairly stable price and comes from many international suppliers, thus guaranteeing energy security. The climatic goals, however, require that the production is sustainable, especially where environmental aspects are concerned. New emerging technologies in this field will require new specialists educated in this way that they not only understand but may also apply and further develop methods which may use coal to produce energy in environmentally friendly way. Such specialists should have knowledge in energy technologies focusing, respectively, on low-emission combustion, rational use of energy and chemical aspects. The programs are then broadened to obtained a specialist in CCT, supplemented by overall knowledge in energy problems including also renewable field. winter semester The will accept applications from international students who graduate with the submitted to the must be in or translated into Polish (by a sworn translator).
