High standard of education provided by Lodz University of Technology ensures that our students receive a high quality degree that is recognized by Polish and foreign employers. To keep pace with the needs of the job market, the university continues to improve its teaching and learning. We use modern teaching and learning methods and techniques, such as case teaching, problem-based learning or flipped education. We have established a lot of co-creation spaces (so called active learning studios), where students and academics from different faculties and disciplines have the opportunity to work collaboratively on projects combining many, seemingly far-flung fields of study. Education at TUL is deeply rooted in day-to-day issues and challenges faced by the local authorities and business partners. To this end, we offer traineeship opportunities in Poland and abroad, study visits, open days for companies, lectures and classes conducted by future employers. We want students of all faculties to feel the foretaste of their future careers. We focus on developing soft skills: communication, creativity, initiative, flexibility, teamwork, and time management.
The educational offer is getting richer and richer each year, which is the result of our intensive cooperation with the industry. In response to the growing demand for highly qualified specialists, TUL runs 65 degree programmes (in 12 disciplines) with minors tailored to the specific needs of the job market and encompassing the latest advances in science.
