AGH – University of Science and Technology
AGH – University of Science and Technology in Krakow was established in 1919 as the Academy of Mining, and since that time has expanded its scope following needs emerging from industry and society development. Presently AGH has sixteen faculties, covering all fields related to mining and metallurgy, including social sciences. The AGH is recognized as the second among Polish technical universities.
The Faculty of Energy and Fuels has two major disciplines of education: energy and chemical technology. The teaching in the energy field is covered by the specialisations of heating and air conditioning, control of energy systems, hydrogen energy, nuclear power, energy machines, and sustainable energy development. Within the chemical technology the second level education fields covered are environment protection, fuels technologies, gasification and degasification of solid fuels, clean coal technologies and sustainable fuels economy. The two latter are taught in English.
The profile of Sustainable Fuels Economy was formed to respond to growing requirements on graduates, as they have to possess a wide scope of knowledge and abilities, from technical, through economic to environmental. Given the wide scope of research the Faculty professors and their experiences ,students are prepared for undertaking jobs and taking on responsibilities in the creation of a sustainable future.
