Currently, only the Instrumental Faculty offers full-degree programmes in English and provides a complete English-language course catalogue in NESOS.
However, students of three faculties are welcome to apply through Erasmus+ and may select from the following:
- English-taught courses available across faculties
- General and theoretical courses open to all students
- Courses taught in Polish (while some courses will be accessible to Erasmus+ students, availability may vary, and some individual arrangements may be required)
We encourage students to combine courses from various faculties to best match their academic interests and training profile. Some courses listed for one degree level (e.g. Master’s) may also be available to students from another level (e.g. Bachelor’s), if individually approved by the Dean.
