⇑Why study Mechatronic Engineering at AGH?

Why study it:

Mechatronic Engineering at AGH University of Krakow is a first-cycle engineering programme taught in English by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics. It suits students who want an interdisciplinary background in mechanics, control, electronics and computing, and who plan to design, build or run mechatronic systems.

Programme: from mechanics to robotics

The curriculum moves through three layers:

  • basic courses such as mathematics and physics
  • major courses including mechanics, control theory, computer science and electronics
  • speciality courses in computer aided engineering, virtual prototyping, modern control and the basics of robotics
  • methods and tools for the analysis, synthesis and integration of mechatronic systems
  • laboratory and project classes where you build practical engineering skills

Languages: an engineering degree in English

The whole programme is taught in English, so alongside technical mechanics, automation and microprocessor systems you also develop your language skills – and learn to communicate with engineers from other fields while solving complex practical problems.

Qualifications: ABET accreditation

Mechatronic Engineering at both Bachelor and Master level has received ABET accreditation. Its stated educational objectives range from progressing to Master's studies to working collaboratively in multidisciplinary environments and committing to lifelong learning.

After graduation: design offices, R&D or a Master's

Graduates are prepared to work in interdisciplinary teams that design, manufacture or use mechatronic systems – in design units and design offices focused on mechanical or mechatronic systems, in research and development institutions, and in companies that make or use mechatronic devices. The programme also aims to prepare you for experimentation and testing of mechanical, mechatronic and control systems, in industry or academia.

You can continue at Master's level – the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics runs a second-cycle Mechatronic Engineering programme – or at other faculties and universities in Poland or abroad.

As of the 2026/27 admissions, based on the programme page at rekrutacja.agh.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.
Engineering
When I looked at the science of engineering and saw that it had disappeared after its ancient heritage, that its masters have perished, and that their memories are now forgotten, I worked my wits and thoughts in secrecy about philosophical shapes and figures, which could move the mind, with effort, from nothingness to being and from idleness to motion. And I arranged these shapes one by one in drawings and explained them
Al-Muradi, The Book of Secrets in the Results of Ideas, 11th century; Translated and cited at leonardo3.net/bookofsecrets/index, 2015
Engineering
Engineering is the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.
Thomas Tredgold (1828), used in the Royal Charter of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) published in: The Times, London, article CS102127326, 30 June 1828.
Engineering
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
