M.Sc. in Electronics and Telecommunications, specialization: Information and Communication Technologies

Master studies in Electronics and Telecommunications (specialization: Information and Communication Technologies) last three or four semesters. The 3-semester programme starts in end-February whereas 4-semester studies start in end-September.

The 3-semester programme version is meant for the B.Sc. graduates in the field of electronics and telecommunications exclusively (not in any other, related subject area).

The 4-semester programme additionally has a ‘preparatory’ semester and is dedicated to the Bachelor-level diploma holders in subject areas other than electronics and telecommunications (e.g. general electrical engineering, computer science, physics, technical physics, mathematics, control engineering etc.). Thus, ‘preparatory’ semester is mainly devoted to enhance and widen the student’s knowledge in telecommunications and electronics and the curriculum following it is identical to the 3-semester programme....

Aim of the study is to prepare Master of civil engineering having the second cycle university education, capable to explore, execute (start) and exploiting innovation in civil engineering based on system approach (information, energy, communication, transport systems). General idea of this course is to: find innovation area (first semester), generate and examine innovation options (second semester) and execute innovations (third semester). This study is prepared in cooperation with leaders at construction market (international corporations and SME) taking into consideration examining possibility to solve real problems. During the course there are possible summer paid internships for students in the field of construction technology. During this Master Studies students working in teams (international: United States, France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany, Finland and Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland) will be prepared to: (1) work in partner enterprises (corporations or SME), (2) work on PhD (3 level of study). Creation of SPIN-OFF/START-UPP is also taken into consideration as a result of this Master program.... [-]

Field of study: Mechatronics

The course is intended for mechatronic engineers who want to broaden their education in the area of mechatronic design. In the course, the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering is integrated into the design process. The course study on mechatronic design involves a theoretical and practical level. It assures the balance between theory/analysis with modeling and hardware implementation in mechanics, electronics and computer applications in control.

With a focus on these kinds of skills, education in mechatronic design can be seen as a prime career path for engineers of the future. One of the features which distinguish mechatronic designers from others is their ability for the replacement of some mechanical functions with electronic and software ones. The main learning objective for mechatronic design is to teach students how to be able to design and investigate mechanical, electrical, and microcontroller systems and integrate them together.They will understand the dynamics of the systems and will be able to apply it in modeling and in the design of controllers....

MSc in Architecture

The 1.5 year Master of Architecture is a qualification for students who want to advance their architecture skills. While it is open to Bachelors Degree in Architecture graduates, the program has been specifically developed to learn new techniques, sharpen design skills and keep abreast of current theory. The Faculty is supplemented by the critics and theorists from various countries, introducing students to issues and trends in contemporary design, urban planning. There is various individual research carried out by the members of the staff at the department, which includes: architectural design, urban and regional planning. For many years, Faculty of Architecture Poznan University of Technology has educated students who have assumed important roles in shaping Polish built environment. Today's graduates continue this tradition by answering the challenges posed by contemporary European society.... [-]

M.Sc. in Automatic Control and Robotics, specialization: Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems (SAAS)

The Institute of Automation and Robotics of the Faculty of Computing at Poznan University of Technology (PUT), Poland offers Master of Science in Automatic Control and Robotics with specialization Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems (SAAS) – Autonomiczne Systemy Latające na kierunku Automatyka i Robotyka.

The last decade has seen a significant increase in research in Smart Aerospace and Autonomous Systems. Now, the field is sufficiently mature to engage in a procedure of education. From an educational point of view in the SAAS program we are interested in developing, modeling, simulating and testing guidance, navigation, control and decision systems for autonomous operation of unmanned aerial vehicle systems, unmanned ground vehicle and autonomous and robot systems. Issues of special interest include the determination of levels of autonomy and integration of control, online decision systems, mission planning, trajectory generation and tracking and limited communication....

M.Sc. in Chemical Technology - Composites and Nanomaterials

The first semester is partly devoted to amending the basic knowledge in chemical technology for candidates studying abroad and those persons who at their bachelor level, studied directions different from chemical technology to reach standards defined by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

Regular courses contain physical and inorganic chemistry, engineering of materials and chemical reactors, the technology of polymers, processing of nanomaterials and composites. Classes on modeling and simulation are included.

Laboratory classes allow performing synthesis and detailed characterization of composites together with their various practical application using the specific physical, mechanical and electrochemical properties. Ecology and recycling are also in the program as well as advanced materials for generation and storage of energy. The students have also a possibility to select elective courses during studies, e.g. biotechnology, medical aspects and others.... [-]

M.Sc. in Structural Engineering

The graduate obtains the scientific degree of Master of Science, and the title of Engineer. During studies, the student acquires both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in civil engineering with a special reference to strength of materials, structural analysis, geomechanics, building technology, enterprise management, steel structures, concrete structures, timber structures with numerical methods in computational mechanics (statics, stability, dynamics) of structures, and other additional subjects.

M.Sc. in Construction and Exploitation of Means of Transport, specialiation: Gas Technology and Renewable Energy

The course is intended for mechanical engineers who want to broaden their education by issues connected with managing an industrial product in its whole life cycle, starting from design and finishing in disposal (cradle to grave approach). Environmental, economic and social impacts of any products’ existence must all be considered in a path to create goods suitable for future, sustainable economy. Everything that is available at the global market, both goods and services, is also a subject to the global competition. Therefore, a strong focus in the course is put on the marketing approach to a product, understanding that not only technical requirements stated by potential customers are the source of a products’ market status. Interdisciplinary, multiaspect thinking is necessary in the work of a successful product manager. Faculty of Machines and Transport offers an unique study program aimed at educating engineers for the needs of sustainable economy. The Faculty has sixty years of experience in teaching and high scientific potential in means of qualified staff and exceptional research equipment. Adding the ongoing cooperation with best European educational and R&D institutions, it all provides with conditions for high-level technical education.... [-]
