We have created creative learning spaces—so-called active learning studios—where we foster curiosity, independent learning and practical action. Education at TUL is deeply rooted in day-to-day issues and challenges faced by local authorities and business partners. We offer traineeship opportunities in Poland and abroad, study visits, open days for companies, as well as lectures and classes conducted by future employers. We want students of all faculties to have a clear idea from the start about their future career prospects. We also focus on developing soft skills: communication, creativity, initiative, flexibility, teamwork and time management.
Our educational offer is becoming increasingly rich every year, which is the result of our intensive cooperation with industry. In response to the growing demand for highly qualified specialists, TUL offers 69 degree programmes (across 12 disciplines) with minors tailored to the specific needs of the job market and encompassing the latest advances in science.
