Making a decision about what to study and which university to go to is
not easy. There are a variety of conflicting opinions, and a bewildering
range of choices. If you are interested in computers, if you are thinking
about a career in engineering or business, if you are attracted by the
prospect of living in an exciting and continuously changing environment,
and ... if you want to save some money, then this bulletin is for you.
Before you read it carefully, you might want to know that:
Poland,
benefiting from its strategic geo-political position, is now a dynamic
country, leading post-communist Central and Eastern Europe with unprecedented
reforms, unrestrained free-market economy and new ideas transforming the
lifestyles of its citizens.
Warsaw
is now the site of thousands of foreign companies doing business in Poland
and of international institutions coordinating economic and scientific
cooperation between the European Community/U.S.A. and Central/Eastern European
countries. This unique situation has created a high demand for good engineers
fluent in English and excellent job prospects for those who graduate from
the Warsaw University of Technology.
The
Warsaw University of Technology is the highest-ranked institution for advanced
engineering education and research in Poland and one of the most prestigious
academic institutions in Europe.
Students
of over 40 nationalities, from all over the world, are now studying at
the Warsaw University of Technology.
The
tuition fee and living costs in Warsaw are approximately 40-70% of typical
costs in English-speaking countries.
The
Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, with more than 200 professors
and more than 3500 full-time students, is the largest teaching and research
center at the Warsaw University of Technology. Its educational and research
activities range from micro- and optoelectronics, through instrumentation,
measurement, control and robotics, to telecommunications and computer networks.
The
programs of studies and academic regulations at the Faculty of Electronics
and Information Technology resemble those of highly reputed U.S. universities.
The Faculty is known to attain the highest teaching standards and enjoys
worldwide recognition for its research. Furthermore, the low ratio of students
to professors and the warm working relationship between students and instructors
helps those studying to develop confidence in their ability to make significant
contributions to engineering work.
The
demand for good electrical and computer engineers will continue to far
exceed the supply from the universities and there will be a wealth of opportunities
for new graduates seeking both creative and rewarding work. Employment
prospects are excellent not only in the obvious areas, such as electronics,
communication and computing industries, but also in other technological
areas, as well as in banking, accountancy, management, medicine, and education.
