Second-cycle engineering studies lasting 3 semesters is an offer addressed to candidates who obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering  (first-degree studies). Graduates of Medical Engineering obtain the degree of Master of Engineering.

These are interdisciplinary studies, educating specialists ready to carry out scientific research in the field of medical engineering and experts prepared to provide engineering support to medical personnel in the institutions of the health care system.

Within the field of Medical Engineering, the following specialties are offered:

• Artificial Intelligence in Medical Diagnostics 
• Biomechanics  

Artificial Intelligence in the Medical Diagnostics specialty constitutes a response to the observed dynamic progress in the medical technologies area concerning the field of imaging diagnostics and digital tools supporting the analysis of a patient's health, as well as to the unprecedented increase in the possibilities of using artificial intelligence algorithms in medical diagnostics. A graduate of this specialty has knowledge and skills in the application of artificial intelligence methods in medicine. Moreover, a graduate can develop and implement IT tools dedicated to the processing and analysis of biomedical data, interpret real-time output from diagnostic apparatus, and design decision-making models in medical diagnostics.

Biomechanics specialty constitutes a response to the growing demand for innovative material and mechanical solutions in medical technologies for orthopedics, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. A graduate of this specialty knows the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system, which can be utilized to design prostheses and orthoses, implement reverse engineering tools, and program complex biomechanical control systems. 

The offer of these specialties responds to the specific needs of the medical industry – the use of advanced mechanics, widely used simulation methods, and the unprecedented increase in the possibility of using artificial intelligence algorithms in medical diagnostics. Graduating the Medical Engineering, graduate degree studies (second cycle) with a practical profile will enable graduates to work as partners for the medical community in the field of formulating biomedical engineering problems and solving them by modeling, designing, developing technology, and construction using computer techniques. Graduates will acquire competencies enabling them to design and manufacture personalized implants, prostheses, and medical devices cooperating with the human body.

• uploads a scan of their higher education diploma and a scan of the document certifying the results of his/her studies (supplement, list of grades, subjects) together with its translation into Polish made by a sworn translator and with an apostille or legalized translation into Polish made by a sworn translator
• provides an electronic photo in .jpg format (photo compliant with the requirements for issuing personal identification documents),
• submits a scanned document confirming their English language proficiency at a minimum B2 level (Education tab - Certificates and other documents required for enrollment).

If the candidate does not possess a language proficiency document in the language of instruction, they may request a language proficiency verification. To do so, the candidate must submit the application by the deadline of - 16.09.2024. The application should be filled out, signed, scanned, and then sent through the IRK system using the Help tab. The subject of the message should be: "Application for language proficiency verification" - Application to download

•  specifies the foreigner status in Poland and provides a scanned copy of the relevant document (e.g., valid Polish Card, supplementary protection status - UKR, permanent residence permit) (Foreign Candidate tab),
• enrols in the chosen undergraduate program by submitting their recruitment application (Recruitment Applications tab),
• makes the required recruitment payment to an individual account within the specified deadline according to the recruitment schedule,

• Power of attorney for deliveries –  Document to be downloaded under Recruitment applications - ‘Documents and next steps’

According to Article 40 § 4 of the Administrative Procedure Code of 14 June 1960, "A party who does not have a place of residence or habitual residence or a registered office in the Republic of Poland, another European Union Member State, the Swiss Confederation, or a European Free Trade Association (EFTA) state - a party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, if they have not appointed a representative for conducting the case residing in the Republic of Poland and are not acting through a consul of the Republic of Poland, is obliged to indicate a representative for deliveries in the Republic of Poland."

• Insurance: All foreign students must have valid insurance for at least the first year of study in Poland, covering medical expenses up to EUR 30,000. The insurance policy, agreement, or certificate from the National Health Fund or European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) serves as proof of insurance.

Attention!!!

After successful registration for studies, foreign candidates should upload the completed and signed documents via the IRK system using the "Additional Information" form:

• Personal questionnaire form
• Power of attorney for deliveries

 Documents to download under Recruitment applications - ‘Documents and next steps’.

Important information for candidates

Document translations:

All documents prepared in a language other than Polish should be translated into Polish by

• A sworn translator of Polish (the list of sworn translators from the Polish Ministry of Justice is available at LINK);
  
• A sworn translator from the EU (if there is an institution of sworn translators in the respective country);
• An RP consul competent for the country where the document was issued, or within whose legal system it operates;
• An accredited diplomatic representation or consular office of the country where the document was issued.

The translation can be done by a translation agency, but it must be certified by a Polish diplomatic mission or a sworn translator. Translations certified by a notary are not accepted.
