Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Silesian University of Technology is an English-taught undergraduate program designed for students who want to study machine design, manufacturing technologies, materials science, mechanical systems, automation, robotics and computer-aided engineering. The program is suitable for students who plan to study engineering in Poland and build a career in machinery, production, design, maintenance, automation or industrial technologies.

The program lasts 7 semesters and is offered as full-time first-cycle studies. According to the university’s information, applicants are expected to have completed high school or secondary education. The transcript of records should include grades in mathematics and physics. Entry qualification documents are accepted in English or Polish. English language proficiency at B2 level or an equivalent level is required.

During the program, students study mathematics, physics, statistics, information technology, algorithms, data structures, numerical methods, computer simulations, and the design, manufacture and operation of machines and mechanical devices. The curriculum also includes machining technology, foundry, welding, plastics and metal processing, production and assembly processes, automation, robotics and an engineering mid-project.

The Mechanical Engineering program provides students with knowledge of design methods, engineering calculations, materials processing technologies, investigation methods and information technologies supporting the design, manufacturing and maintenance of machines. Students develop fundamental and practical skills in mechanics, strength of materials, material selection, modern computational tools and the management of the design process.

The study program also includes the practical use of computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and computer-aided engineering systems. Students gain experience in the design, production and operation of machines and mechanical systems, with particular emphasis on simulation, analysis and computational methods.

Graduates may pursue careers in machine design, production planning, automation, management of technological processes, engineering design, materials science, metallurgy, machining technologies, joining technologies, plant management, quality management and maintenance processes.

According to the university’s information, graduates may work in companies dealing with the design, manufacturing and operation of machinery, design offices, production planning units and areas connected with the automation of technological processes. Graduates also gain broad knowledge and skills in metallurgy, materials science, machining, joining technologies, engineering design, automation, plant management and quality management.

This program is a strong option for students who want to study , gain English-taught engineering education in Europe and develop technical expertise in machinery, production, design, automation or robotics.
