The Ukrainian delegation held a meeting with Ms. Edyta Ptaszek, Head of the International Relations Office at Rzeszów University of Technology. During the discussion, key issues of cooperation between the institutions were addressed, including opportunities for Ukrainian students to study under the Erasmus+ program, double degree programs, and the implementation of joint scientific and cultural projects.
The parties agreed to further expand their partnership, which will contribute to improving the quality of education, scientific research, and professional development for both students and faculty.
The Ukrainian delegation also visited the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Architecture. This is one of the university’s leading faculties, training specialists across various educational programs.
At the faculty, students pursue multi-level education: bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, focusing on modern approaches to design, construction, and environmental management.
Key areas of study include civil engineering, architectural design, water supply and sewerage, renewable energy sources, and sustainable development in construction. The study programs are oriented towards combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, enabling graduates to meet the demands of the modern labour market.
The Ukrainian delegation met with Prof. Lech Lichołaj, DSc in Engineering, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Architecture.
During the meeting, Dean Oleh Polishchuk presented information about the Faculty of Engineering, Transport, and Architecture, while Dean Lech Lichołaj provided insights into the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Architecture. They discussed the educational programs offered to students and ways to improve them, the organisation of internships for students, and opportunities for faculty internships.
