The Faculty of Exact and Technical Sciences of the University of Rzeszów is opening the door to the future. Artificial Intelligence, Management, Materials and Technologies in Energy, and Mathematics taught in English are the new fields of study which are designed  in line with cutting‑edge global trends and the Regional Specialisations of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. These fields of study are aimed at ambitious individuals eager to grow in a rapidly evolving world and gain the skills that today’s innovation‑driven job market is looking for. The energy transition, the development of renewable energy sources, new materials, and intelligent energy management systems are fields that increasingly shape the economy and the job market. Management, Materials and Technologies in Energy at the Faculty of Exact and Technical Sciences of the University of Rzeszów is a good choice with a long‑term prospect. These engineering studies combine technical knowledge with managerial competences. The programme has been designed to prepare graduates for work in the rapidly developing energy sector, both in the area of new technologies and in the management of processes and energy. A key strength of the new field of study is its interdisciplinary character. Students will gain knowledge in the field of materials engineering, energy technologies, and management. As a result, they will learn not only how to design and analyse materials and equipment used in energy production and storage, but also how to plan and optimise technological processes, manage projects and energy systems, and design, implement, test, and maintain solutions used in the energy sector. This will enable future graduates to have a real impact on improving the security of energy supply, ensuring the efficient and economical use of energy, and supporting the development of environmentally friendly technologies. At the same time, it will equip them with practical skills that are in high demand on the job market and open the way to a stable career with extensive opportunities in modern, fast‑growing industries. Specialists in this field can expect monthly salaries ranging from PLN 10,000 to as much as PLN 45,000. The study programme includes courses that combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills — from engineering materials and manufacturing technologies, through electronics, to modern solutions such as intelligent management systems, data analysis, and artificial intelligence. Students will also explore topics related to renewable energy sources, energy security, and advanced material technologies used in industry.

The programme enables students to develop in one of two highly sought‑after areas:

• Photovoltaics and Thin‑Film Cells — for those interested in solar energy technologies, semiconductor materials, and modern optoelectronics,

• Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Buildings — for those focused on designing energy management systems, optimising energy consumption, and creating energy‑efficient solutions for buildings and enterprises.

Graduates will be prepared to work in:

• companies in the conventional and renewable energy sectors,

• firms implementing modern material and energy technologies,

• research and development centres and laboratories,

• consulting and auditing companies operating in the energy sector,

• public administration bodies responsible for energy and environmental policy.

Combining technical knowledge with management skills also provides a solid foundation for running one’s own business. The economy needs specialists who understand technology, materials, economics, and energy management. The new programme “Management, Materials and Technologies in Energy Engineering” at the University of Rzeszów is designed for individuals who want to actively participate in the energy transition, develop future-oriented technologies, and secure a stable, engaging, and well‑paid career.

"Our students will learn how to solve real problems faced by today’s economy in the era of rapid energy transformation. Technological and resource sovereignty, as well as energy security, are the key pillars that will shape our future".
