Bachelor in Mechanics and machine design

Tuition is 3,500 EUR per year.

Cracow University of Technology in Kraków offers Mechanics and Machine Design, with a specialization in Advanced Computational Mechanics (ACM), as a bachelor's program taught in English over seven semesters at a yearly tuition of 3500 EUR. The program is designed for students who want to study contemporary problems in theoretical and applied mechanics with computer support, covering mathematics and physics foundations, theoretical mechanics and strength of materials, material science and machining of structures, informatics and numerical methods, mechanics of solids, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, theory of vibration and acoustics, automatic control and mechatronics, and intelligent materials. The course plan includes basic and engineering mathematics, distributions and transforms, physics, mechanics of particles and rigid bodies, vibrations and waves, strength of materials, theory of elasticity, plasticity, and fluid mechanics. Students also take information technology, computer science, numerical methods, finite element method, technical drawing and AutoCAD, machine design, computer-aided design of structures, material science, plastics and composites, production engineering, and computer-aided machining of structures. Further courses cover thermodynamics, electronics and electrical engineering, automatic control engineering, elements of robotics, metrology, and experimental methods. This breadth of study prepares graduates for roles across mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, and computational analysis, where they can apply CAD/CAM tools and simulation software to real engineering problems. Broader career paths in mechanics and machine design include work in automotive and aerospace component design, industrial machinery manufacturing, and research institutions that use finite element modeling to test and refine mechanical systems before production.
