The Faculty of Electronics attaches particular importance to the development of international cooperation due to its significant impact on the process of providing education to students. The faculty opened to the world by developing and implementing concepts of a curriculum delivered in the English language in 1st and 2nd cycle degree programmes. The concept and implementation works took a few years and involved the participation of foreign experts who are friends to the Faculty. It was based on many years’ international cooperation with partner faculties, chiefly from universities in English-speaking countries (the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).

As a result, the Faculty of Electronics offers 5 specialisations in English for 2nd cycle students, including

• “Modern Telecommunications” (TMT) - degree programme: Telecommunications
• “Advanced Applied Electronics” (AAE) - degree programme: Electronics
• “Embedded Robotics” (AER) - degree programme: Automatics and Robotics
• “Advanced Informatics and Control” (AIC) and “Internet Engineering” (INE) - degree programme: Computer Science

Two of these specialisations (TMT and AIC) are conducted in strict concert (e.g. swappable curricula) with UK universities and one (INE) with a Swedish university.

Moreover, in 2016, a new degree programme in English was created under the 1st cycle of education - “Electronic and Computer Engineering” (ECE).

The Faculty of Electronics supports the exchange of students and lecturers between universities, regardless of whether degree programmes pursued are delivered in English, by actively taking part in the international programme Erasmus+ as well as other international programmes, or initiatives based on bilateral agreements. The foundation of the programmes is bilateral agreements on the exchange of students concluded between the Faculty of Electronics and partner universities/faculties in Europe and other parts of the world. The exchange agreements are usually a result of agreements on international cooperation concluded between universities or faculties or personal contacts of the Faculty’s academic staff stemming from their research initiatives.

Detailed information about student exchange programmes is available on the webpage of the Department of International Cooperation »

The Faculty is active in the area of organisation and conducting summer schools, which create a climate favourable for student exchange. Those particularly noteworthy are the following:

1. A Series of Summer Schools for foreigners - International Summer School 3E+

• International Summer School “3E+ = Energy, Electronics, Electricity” 2013
• International Summer School “3E+ = Energy, Electronics, Electricity, Nanotechnology” 2014
• International Summer School “3E+ = Energy, Electronics, Electricity, Civil Engineering” 2015
• International Summer School “3E+ Energy Electronics Electricity Environmental Engineering” 2016

Every year, the summer schools organised by the Department of International Cooperation and delivered by the lecturers from the Faculty of Electronics attract students from universities including Queensland University of Technology, Australia; Beihang University, China; National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan;  Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Russia; National University of Science and Technology MISiS , Russia; Lviv Polytechnic, Ukraine; and Parul University, India.

1. Polish–British Workshop, annual workshop organised by the Department of Computer Systems and Networks and the University of Coventry, the UK,
2. Robotics Summer School, cooperation between the Department of Cybernetics and Robotics and the University of Malaga, Spain.
3. Indian Summer School, students of the Faculty of Electronics take part in the exchange every year.

International student exchange is also organised as part of the activity of over 20 scientific circles operating at the Faculty via participation in numerous international competitions and challenges. Examples:

• Every year, the scientific circle KoNaR organises the challenge named Robotic Arena - an international competition for robots made and programmed mainly by students;
• The scientific circle JEDI, oriented towards the construction and programming of multi-rotor helicopters, commonly referred to as drones, won the 2nd place in the International Micro Air Vehicle Competition 2016 (IMAV 2016);
• students of the Faculty of Electronics actively participated in the undertaking that consisted in constructing a Mars Rover, which turned out to be the best vehicle presented at the European Mars Rover Challenge;
• students pursuing the specialisation Advanced Applied Electronics qualified for the final of the 20th Texas Instruments Innovation Challenge Europe Analog Design Contest 2014. Their project involved laser technology;
• students of the Faculty of Electronics along with Swedish students of Blekinge Institute of Technology became the finalists of PEMA Student Challenge at the Terminal Operations Conference and Exhibition in Rotterdam, 2015. Their project involved ship mooring;

The Faculty of Electronics is open to cooperation with foreign academic and research centres, broadening the cooperation formula through the organisation of cyclic lectures, seminars, scientific workshops delivered by foreign specialists for students of the Faculty, as well as international conferences that constitute a forum for research results attained by employees, doctoral students, and talented first and second cycle students and allowing the presentation thereof before world-acclaimed specialists.
