Application for scholarship

The application deadline is October 14th.

The action is implemented under the PROM project co-financed by the European Social Fund from the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development. Funds for its implementation were granted to our university by the National Agency for Academic Exchange.

Two programmes conducted in English: Computer Science (at the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering in cooperation with the International Faculty of Engineering) and Information Technology (at  the Faculty of Technical Physics, Information Technology and Applied Mathematics in cooperation with the International Faculty of Engineering) at Lodz University of Technology have been accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org

ABET accreditation assures that programmes meet standards to produce graduates ready to enter critical technical fields that are leading the way in innovation and emerging technologies, and anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.

Developed by technical professionals from ABET’s member societies, ABET criteria focus on what students experience and learn. ABET accreditation reviews look at programme curricula, faculty, facilities, and institutional support and are conducted by teams of highly skilled professionals from industry, academia and government, with expertise in the ABET disciplines.

According to Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwik, Rector of TUL: The process of the programmes accreditation required exceptional involvement of our university staff. Ultimately, as a result of the procedures performed, ABET accreditation was granted to both fields of study we applied for. The fact that Lodz University of Technology has received such significant accreditation is an extremely important step in the implementation of a new, innovative model of designing study programmes at our university. The experience gained during this long accreditation process will allow us to develop new quality standards, which will once again bring Lodz University of Technology the status of a leader in the field of higher education in Poland.

ABET is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization with ISO 9001:2015 certification.  It currently accredits 4,361 programmes at 850 colleges and universities in 41 countries and areas.

World TOP3 are American universities - Harvard University, Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Polish TOP3 are University of Warsaw (342nd place in the world),  Jagiellonian University in Kraków (380th place) and the AGH University of Science and Technology (572nd place).

The ranking methodology considers three indicators: visiblity/impact (number of external networks/subnets linking to the institution's webpages), transparency/openness (number of citations from university Top210 authors, excluding the first 20) and excellence (number of papers amongst the top 10% most cited).  It is the first indicator in which TUL has recorded such a large increase (from 6239th to 1121st place) moving university up 775 places in the general classification.  

The Webometrics Ranking of World Universities is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. It is attached to the Ministry of Education and its main objective is to promote scientific research.
