The West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin is a university linking the long-term tradition of the University of Agriculture in Szczecin and Szczecin University of Technology. On 5 July 2007, the senates of the Agricultural Academy in Szczecin and Szczecin University of Technology passed a unanimous resolution on joining the two universities. In January 2008 the Conventions of Student Governments as well as Doctoral Student Parliaments of both Universities adopted a similar position on it. A multistage and long-term legislative process was completed by the Sejm Act on the West Pomeranian University of Technology establishment on 5 September 2008 and by the signature of the President of the Republic of Poland on 30 September 2008. The West Pomeranian University of Technology officially started on 1 January 2009. Its educational offer and location make it an attractive place of study for ambitious young people ready to invest in their careers and willing to build an innovative, knowledge-based society in the future.
Consolidation of the scientific and teaching potential of universities, scattered in Poland, seems inevitable because of the progressing slowdown in population growth, competition in the higher education market, and expectations as it comes to their influence on technology and economic development. Bringing a university into existence, besides enriching its teaching program with new fields of study and specializations, creates a possibility of further, faster progress of new technologies in technical and natural sciences. Common achievements of the Szczecin University of Technology and the Agricultural Academy in Szczecin in these scientific areas and their highly qualified staff launch new quality standars in education in Western Pomerania.
The West Pomeranian University of Technology (WPUT) has a chance to make use of an effect of synergy which originated from joining two well-known universities. Around 13,000 full-time and extramural students study in numerous facilities under the tutelage of over 1,000 academic teachers. There are ten faculties at WPUT specializing in 47 fields of study.
The University offers its candidates:
1) full bachelor, master, or doctorate program (full study programs are taught in
Polish, unless indicated otherwise), 2) one or two semesters (exchange students, e.g. under Erasmus+ program), 3) practical placement. Candidates can make their choice between bachelor, master, doctoral, and post-graduate programmes delivered in 47 study areas at the university’s 10 faculties
New fields are constantly created as the answer to changing economic conditions and the needs of the labor market. Both universities contributed to a system offering students a wide range of academic education: undergraduate studies, postgraduate studies, one-cycle five-year Master's degree studies, doctoral studies, and a wide variety of post-diploma studies. The laboratories and study facilities of Szczecin University of Technology and the University of Agriculture in Szczecin were modernized in the last few years. This process has been continued at newly created WPUT. International cooperation concerning teaching processes and scientific projects will still be one of the priorities of WPUT.
The creation of the West Pomeranian University of Technology consolidated research teams dealing with engineering, environmental protection, renewable energy, bio- and nanotechnologies, polymers, economics and industry, and agriculture technologies. WPUT has powers to confer the PhD degree in 19 specializations and the degree of assistant professor in 13 fields. This is an enormous and precious potential that provides students with proper preparation to their professional lives and the University itself with scientific development suitable for contemporary challenges.
Recognizing the benefits resulting from international cooperation, the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin is an institution open to all kinds of projects enhancing internationalization processes and introducing an international dimension to its educational and research activities. A special invitation is open to foreign students willing to complete both full degrees and part-time programs during exchange periods (e.g. one or two semesters In the framework of the Erasmus+ program).

Bacterial biofilms, which in a way resemble small cities of these microorganisms, are responsible for many persistent human and animal infections and pose a serious health risk, especially when they become resistant to antibiotics, says the professor, We have discovered that a rotating magnetic field modifies the activity, structure, and chemical composition of biofilms, so that the effectiveness of the administered antimicrobial compound is much higher.
The research is carried out in the Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Husbandry and was initiated several years ago, as part of the Opus project of the National Science Centre. This project was carried out in a consortium with the Łukasiewicz Research Network – PORT Polish Centre for Technology Development (funding of PLN 1.5 million).
The research was performed with the aid of RMF generators constructed within the framework of a previous project, “Lider V”, in collaboration with scientists from the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Engineering, funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (funding of PLN 1.2 million).

Materials Science is a discipline, which deals with the principles of development and improvement of
materials by providing them with specific functional properties and characterizing their structure and
features. It is an interdisciplinary branch of science, that combines engineering expertise with
knowledge of materials structure and technology, which are irreplaceable in the selection of the most
appropriate materials during the design process of each device.
The Materials Engineering study program at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics
brings together a wide range of knowledge in the field of polymeric, metallic, ceramic, and composite
materials. Our graduates are experts desired and appreciated in many sectors of industry in the whole
Europe. They find positions of designers, constructors, material technologists, quality control
managers, or specialists in recycling and environmentally friendly technologies
