⇑Why study Medical Engineering at UJD?

Why study it:

Programme: engineering for medicine
Specialisation: AI in diagnostics or biomechanics
Placements: workshops, study visits and internships
Exchanges: Erasmus+
After graduation: medical devices, R&D and health care

Medical Engineering at Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa (UJD) is a 3-semester second-cycle engineering programme with a practical profile, taught in English and leading to the degree of Master of Engineering. It is addressed to holders of a Bachelor's degree in engineering who want to carry out research in medical engineering or provide engineering support to medical staff in health care institutions.

Programme: engineering for medicine

These are interdisciplinary studies built around the needs of the medical industry: advanced mechanics, simulation methods and artificial intelligence algorithms in diagnostics. You learn to formulate biomedical engineering problems and solve them through modelling, design, technology development and construction using computer techniques. The aim is to be able to design and manufacture personalised implants, prostheses and medical devices that cooperate with the human body.

Specialisation: AI in diagnostics or biomechanics

Artificial Intelligence in Medical Diagnostics focuses on imaging diagnostics and digital tools for analysing a patient's health. You learn to apply artificial intelligence methods in medicine, develop IT tools for processing and analysing biomedical data, interpret real-time output from diagnostic apparatus and design decision-making models in medical diagnostics.

Biomechanics deals with the human musculoskeletal system and with solutions for orthopaedics, prosthetics and rehabilitation – designing prostheses and orthoses, using reverse engineering tools and programming complex biomechanical control systems.

Placements: workshops, study visits and internships

The practical profile means a significant number of practical classes and workshops. Lecturers have practical experience gained in the medical engineering sector. You meet potential employers during classes, study visits and internships.

Exchanges: Erasmus+

Part of your studies can take place abroad at partner universities within the Erasmus+ programme.

After graduation: medical devices, R&D and health care

You can work, among others, in:

companies designing and manufacturing medical devices, rehabilitation equipment, prostheses and implants,
R&D centres developing medical technology and accreditation and attestation bodies for medical devices,
IT companies building tools for processing and analysing biomedical data,
consulting institutions and companies in the medical industry,
health care facilities, supporting the selection, operation and supervision of medical equipment,
your own manufacturing or service company in medical engineering.

As of the 2026/27 admissions, based on the programme description at rekrutacja.ujd.edu.pl.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Engineering

Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. See glossary of engineering.

Wikipedia

Engineering

Engineering is the conscious application of science to the problem of economic production.

Engineering

These experiences are not 'religious' in the ordinary sense. They are natural, and can be studied naturally. They are not 'ineffable' in the sense the sense of incommunicable by language. Maslow also came to believe that they are far commoner than one might expect, that many people tend to suppress them, to ignore them, and certain people seem actually afraid of them, as if they were somehow feminine, illogical, dangerous. 'One sees such attitudes more often in engineers, in mathematicians, in analytic philosophers, in book keepers and accountants, and generally in obsessional people'.
The peak experience tends to be a kind of bubbling-over of delight, a moment of pure happiness. 'For instance, a young mother scurrying around her kitchen and getting breakfast for her husband and young children. The sun was streaming in, the children clean and nicely dressed, were chattering as they ate. The husband was casually playing with the children: but as she looked at them she was suddenly so overwhelmed with their beauty and her great love for them, and her feeling of good fortune, that she went into a peak experience . . .

Engineering

A key characteristic of the engineering culture is that the individual engineer’s commitment is to technical challenge rather than to a given company. There is no intrinsic loyalty to an employer as such. An employer is good only for providing the sandbox in which to play. If there is no challenge or if resources fail to be provided, the engineer will seek employment elsewhere. In the engineering culture, people, organization, and bureaucracy are constraints to be overcome. In the ideal organization everything is automated so that people cannot screw it up. There is a joke that says it all. A plant is being managed by one man and one dog. It is the job of the man to feed the dog, and it is the job of the dog to keep the man from touching the equipment. Or, as two Boeing engineers were overheard to say during a landing at Seattle, “What a waste it is to have those people in the cockpit when the plane could land itself perfectly well.” Just as there is no loyalty to an employer, there is no loyalty to the customer. As we will see later, if trade-offs had to be made between building the next generation of “fun” computers and meeting the needs of “dumb” customers who wanted turnkey products, the engineers at DEC always opted for technological advancement and paid attention only to those customers who provided a technical challenge.
