Energy

1st grade, full-time studies, 7 semesters, engineering studies

The Energy field of study is designed for candidates who want to expand their knowledge of energy and thermal engineering and acquire skills in the design, supervision, and operation of energy equipment, installations, networks, and systems, as well as other technological solutions used in the energy sector.

After completing appropriate professional experience, graduates of the Energy field of study can apply for unlimited construction licenses in the installation specialties of sanitary, heating, and gas networks and systems in Poland.

In addition, upon completing a first-cycle diploma, they can obtain a renewable energy installer certificate issued by the Office of Technical Inspection.

The core subjects included in the Energy field of study teaching program include:

• Heating,
• Gas Power,
• Nuclear Power,
• Geothermal Power,
• Hydropower,
• Heat Pumps,
• Heat Conversion in Energy Systems,
• Heating Networks and Heat Storage,
• Clean Energy Technologies,
• Reliability of Energy Systems,
• Energy Efficiency in Buildings,
• Building Automation,
• Electricity Generation,
• Electricity Grids,
• Energy Storage Systems,
• Wind Energy,
• Photovoltaic Conversion,
• Methods of Converting Biomass to Energy.

More than half of the classes in the Energy Engineering program consist of lectures, laboratories, or project classes, during which students, under the guidance of specialists, prepare energy projects. This provides them with the skills they need for their future careers. Students also complete a month-long internship, allowing them to experience the realities of their chosen profession before graduation.

Work after graduation

Graduates of the Energy field of study can find employment as:

• designers in design offices,
• in contractors specializing in energy equipment and systems,
• in energy companies, particularly those involved in the generation and distribution of heat and electricity,
• energy auditors,
