Distinctive Features of a Study Programme:
Upgraded modern laboratories that had been established and supported by international companies Bombardier Transportation (Poland), Bombardier Transportation (Sweden), AŽD Praha (Czech Republic) are being used in the study process. Studies are conducted with application of exceptional modern training simulators, which simulate real rolling stock and train traffic control situations on various routes, simulate the action of voice alarm equipment and of individual elements of rolling stock. Practical activities are performed in real situations in depots and sub- divisions of railway infrastructure. No other higher education school offers study programme with such content. Graduates will be able to deal with technical, technological and management challenges of traction rolling stock, railway traffic management systems: will be able to make decisions on the design of separate components of traction rolling stock, equipment of railway traffic control systems, to ensure safe and efficient organization, exploitation and control of railway rolling stock, to solve tasks of railway traffic operation.
Access to Professional Activity or Further Studies:
Graduate can work in the divisions of public and private railway companies; supervise railway traction rolling stock, repair of traffic management systems equipment, maintenance works while carrying out managing railway sector projects and handling technical documentation.
Graduate can continue his/her studies having chosen university study programmes in the field of Transport Engineering.
