⇑Why study Mechatronic Engineering (Master's) at AGH?

dlaczego-warto-studiowac-na-AGH
Why study it:

Mechatronic Engineering at AGH University of Krakow is a second-cycle (Master’s) programme taught in English, with the Mechatronic Design speciality. It is for graduates of a BSc in a cognate discipline who want to design complex mechatronic products in interdisciplinary teams and take them all the way to a prototype.

Programme: project-oriented mechatronic design

The studies are project-oriented and built around cooperation in project teams, so you learn the specific nature of the mechatronic design process and techniques for solving interdisciplinary design problems. Courses cover the design of mechanical, electronic and control systems as well as software and hardware application techniques. The programme also addresses the wider demands of mechatronic products – market constraints, multifunctionality, user-friendly operation and the cost of the whole operating period – along with scheduling and carrying out prototyping and managing a design team.

Specialisation: embedded systems and MEMS

The speciality courses of Mechatronic Design deal with the design of embedded systems and microsystems (MEMS).

Labs: design software and testing equipment

During classes you work with:

  • dedicated software tools for designing complex mechatronic systems
  • up-to-date computer-aided engineering tools
  • testing equipment used in the prototyping of mechatronic systems

Languages: taught entirely in English

English is the language of instruction, so candidates need an appropriate command of English in addition to a first-cycle degree with a solid base in mathematics, physics and design skills.

Qualifications: ABET accreditation

Mechatronic Engineering at AGH holds ABET accreditation at both Bachelor’s and Master’s levels.

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.
