Lodz University of Technology (TUL), located in the beautiful city in heart of Poland and thus in heart of Europe, has over 75 years of experience in sharing its passion for science and education and nearly 30 years of tradition in international education in order to provide comprehensive support for foreign students. As a result, we are a university, which takes care of the highest standards of teaching, and prepares specialists sought after in the labour market, including innovative sectors of new technologies.

TUL is the 4th best technical university in the country, with nearly 13 thousand students, including 900 international students from all over the world.

Lodz University of Technology offers a wide range of study programmes taught in three languages – Polish, English and French. Everyday reality of TUL academic life means having unrestricted access to highly qualified academic staff and, which is equally important, a student-centred model of education involving the application of modern learning methods such as Design Thinking, Problem and Research Based Learning, and Flipped Classroom.

One of the most important priorities and a pillar of TUL strategy is openness to internationalization. We established TUL International Cooperation Centre as melting pot of nationalities, cultures, languages.

The highest level of everyday life of the university academic community is supported by new and modern buildings, laboratories with cutting edge equipment, comfortable and ergonomic dormitories – this is what we put a great emphasis on. What we are really proud of is a great sports facility TUL “Sports Bay”, with a 50 meters’ olympic swimming pool and the highest climbing wall in Poland.

Innovative teaching methods

Each year TUL offers the European Project Semester (EPS) under which students of various engineering and business programmes work in teams on multidisciplinary projects. These projects are carefully selected to match their specialties and capabilities as well as to develop their intercultural communication and teamwork skills. The language of instruction is English.

Another innovations TUL provides are Problem Based Learning and Design Thinking. PBL and DT are student- entred pedagogical methods that allow students to gain competences in given academic fields through solving particular problems while working on projects. Compared with a traditional educational model. PBL and DT promote a more independent and creative approach to learning.

Case Teaching is another innovative teaching approach used at TUL that uses decision-forcing cases to put students in the role of people who were faced with difficult decisions at some point in the past. Instructors refrain from providing their own opinions about the decisions in question. Students are asked to devise, describe and defend solutions to the problems presented by each case.

At TUL we are also introducing Flipped Learning which is a pedagogical approach where the conventional notion of classroom-based learning is inverted, so that students are introduced to the learning material before class. Classroom time is used to deepen understanding through discussion with peers and problem-solving activities facilitated by teachers.

The main objective of the Faculty is to educate professional engineers and managers, fluent in foreign languages, able to apply their knowledge in science, engineering, technology and business.

The students have the opportunity to obtain double diplomas, one from TUL and the other from a partner university in France, Holland, Great Britain, Denmark and other European countries.

TUL is also the leader of student exchange.
