Course Description
Description of the field of study
The study programme includes general education in the field of basic chemistry, general engineering activities and in the field of chemical technology and engineering, concerning, among others, typical chemical and mechanical processes used in the chemical industry, various physicochemical and analytical methods used to assess the properties of engineering materials, as well as the use of computer tools supporting design, modelling and manufacturing.
The study programme additionally gives the opportunity to individualise the path of education, in accordance with the student's interests, by selecting thematic blocks (specialities): sustainable chemical technologies (green chemical technologies eliminate waste, improve production safety, and its economics) or engineering of polymeric materials (polymers are ideal for all types of engineering applications to replace traditional materials with much simpler materials for manufacturing while maintaining their desired properties).
Graduate's competences
Graduates of first-degree studies in the field of chemical engineering and technology have a systematic, theoretically based general knowledge of the basic branches of chemistry as well as knowledge and engineering skills in the field of material engineering, process engineering, and chemical technology. They know modern technologies for the production of various chemical products, including ceramic, composite, and polymer engineering materials. The degree holders can use modern methods, techniques, and tools for structure identification, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and assessment of the properties of raw materials and products.
Graduates have the structured knowledge required to understand, design and supervise technological processes using a variety of experimental, computational, and simulation methods and techniques. They analyse the functioning of devices and technical systems used in these processes and indicate the possibilities of technology development. Degree holders are familiar with current trends in technology and chemical engineering. They know new technological solutions according to the principles of sustainable development, including use of technologies using natural and renewable resources, planning new pro-ecological technological solutions, waste management, and in particular the use of appropriate recycling technologies.
Graduates have knowledge of a general foreign language at the level of B2 proficiency of the European System of the Description of Language Education of the Council of Europe.
Typical workplaces/jobs
Interdisciplinary technical education allows graduates to take up professional work in the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, polymer processing, and food industries, as well as biotechnology, energy, and environmental protection. Working as engineers, technologists, and designers, graduates are sought-after engineering and managerial staff for almost all branches of the processing industry. They are also valued employees of industrial research and development laboratories as well as design studios and offices.
Typical positions held are: chemical engineer, process engineer, product engineer, process industry designer, equipment designer, research and development engineer, production specialist, laboratory research specialist, quality control specialist, laboratory analyst chemical installation operator, technological process operator, technical and commercial advisor.

- Admission to first degree programmes is based on the results of a competitive recruitment process.
- Admission to first degree programmes is within the number of places set by the Rector, according to the following rules:
- priority is given to candidates who are winners and finalists of central-level Olympiads;
- the remaining candidates are admitted on the basis of a ranking list, in the order determined by the value of the recruitment coefficient R, in a number corresponding to the planned number of places, minus the number of candidates referred to in point 2.1.
- The basis for determining the place on the ranking list is the recruitment rate R calculated according to the formula, taking into account sections 4 to 8:
R = P1*W + P2*W + 5E
where the meaning of the individual symbols is as follows:
P1 - the result of the baccalaureate examination in the subject listed for a given faculty in table in item 1;
P2 - the result of the baccalaureate exam in a selected subject listed for a given major in table in item 2;
W - subject weighting for basic or extended level respectively;
E - final result from the entrance examination in artistic aptitude in the case of admission to the course in Architecture. - The results of the Matura school-leaving examination obtained at the basic level or at the extended level in the written part (in the case of the "2002 Matura school leaving examinations" - in the external part) of a maximum of two subjects listed in table.
- In the case of a candidate whose school-leaving certificate shows results of the Matura school-leaving examination in a given subject obtained at basic and at extended level, the recruitment procedure takes into account the level with the result more favourable for the candidate.
- If a subject taken into account in the admission procedure for a specific field of study does not appear on the secondary school leaving certificate, the candidate receives "0" points in the admission procedure for that subject.
- For candidates with the so-called "old Matura school-leaving examination":
- the grades from the matriculation examination are treated on a par with the results of the matriculation examination obtained at extended level under the "New school-leaving examination" system;
- the grades from the secondary school leaving certificate or, in the case of a candidate who has a two-page version of the secondary school leaving certificate, the grades from the secondary school leaving certificate shall be treated on a par with the results of the examination obtained at basic level under the "New Matura school-leaving examination" system.
- A candidate for studies conducted at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Technology in Stalowa Wola shall have the number of points added to the number of points constituting the value of the recruitment index:
- 25 points for holders of vocational qualification certificates with average scores below 75% of the points possible;
- 50 points for holders of vocational qualification certificates with an average score of 75% and above of the points possible.
